Info for Nocturne Rachmaninov Vespers & Byzantine Hymns



A stripped-down version of Rachmaninov, without artifice, without piano or orchestra. A Rachmaninov filled with Russian folk tradition, faith and fervour. "

Simon-Pierre Bestion, conductor of the ensemble and creator of this programme, interrogates the musical material as he usually does, and delivers it in an unexpected yet suprisingly expressive way. The artists deliver a precious journey, a ritual, tailoring music and mind, in a true liturgy of sound that charms the audience.. (Joël Heuillon, Olyrix)

I discovered Rachmaninov’s ‘Vespers’ singing in a choir, and the work made a genuine emotional impact on me! This music gives off an impression of naturalness and ‘simplicity’, yet in fact its architecture is complex and innovative for its time in the quasi-orchestral treatment of the voices. I wanted to place the work in a liturgical context that I conceived by drawing my inspiration from the Orthodox ceremonies I have been lucky enough to attend in Russia and Romania. The special characteristic and the beauty of this Vigil service (which in the Orthodox churches includes both Vespers and Matins) is that it accompanies the prayers of the faithful from dusk until sunrise.
