About

The choral music of Galina Grigorjeva – born in Simferopol in Ukraine in 1962 and based in Tallinn, in Estonia, since 1994 – is deeply rooted in the traditions of the Orthodox Church and in ancient Russian and Slavonic folklore. Although clearly by a contemporary composer, her works have a timeless, even hypnotic, quality that seems to reach back through the ages. She has been working with the Estonian National Male Choir – one of the finest in a country full of choirs – for some years now, and some of the works here were composed or arranged specifically for this recording.

“[Grigorjeva] follows in the long shadow of Rachmaninov, bracing an essential serenity with the subtlest of richer harmonic tints … she is the mistress of cadential suspense, a modernist who respects the past … strongly recommended on all counts” – Gramophone, April 2016
