Most recordings of Rachmaninov's All-Night Vigil, a setting of texts and some original chants from the Russian Orthodox all-night vigil service, are Russian; the work includes sonorities that are unique to that vocal tradition. The U.S.-based Clarion Choir has specialized in Russian choral music, and they are a logical choice to take on this quite difficult work. With 32 members, the Clarion Choir is quite a bit smaller than the choir Rachmaninov would have heard and those that have performed the work since. Director Steven Fox wisely avoids trying to compete with the Russians on their own ground, instead forging a distinctive sound in which quieter passages are quite delicate. These contrast sharply with the almost gravelly vocal textures usually heard in the work, but in climactic passages, Fox gives his group a fascinating kind of focused power that carries a good deal of ecstatic emotion. Sample part X, "Having beheld the Resurrection," for an idea. The choir seems to enunciate clearly and to approach the text with a sense of commitment; it would be interesting to consult a speaker of Old Church Slavonic for an evaluation of the group's success in this regard, but there is much distinctively beautiful singing here in any case, and the sound engineering from New York's Archdiocesan Cathedral of the Holy Trinity is ideal. This release appeared on classical best-seller charts in early 2023.
