  • Description

    This new release from DUX presents a world premiere recording of the Suprasl Canticles; a recently reconstructed score from the collections that are being kept in Vilnius but come from the famous monastery in Suprasl. The Suprasl Canticles is a collection of 49 Orthodox Church concert compositions for male and treble choir, by various authors. 38 of them have been recorded on this three-disc album.

    Discovered only just in the 1990s, the compositions come from the 17th century and are an example of the peak achievements of Baroque choral polyphony and of the implementation of the influences of Western music, including Italian, into the areas under the influence of the Orthodox Church. The imple-mentation occurred thanks to the activity of the so-called Vilnius School of Baroque Orthodox Church composition.

    A mixed choir, including female voices, took part in the recording of the Podlasie Opera and Philharmonic Choir. Under the baton of an outstanding conductor, Violetta Bielecka, the artists once again prove their undeniable performance class and virtuosity.
