Under Chorus Director, Simon Halsey, the London Symphony Chorus gave several performances of Rachmaninov’s “Vespers (All-Night Vigil)” in 2014, and subsequently recorded it for LSO-Live.
This performance, once again conducted by Simon Halsey, will primarily be a sonic experience; to capitalise on the fantastic acoustics of Temple Church, the Chorus will be positioned in-the-round. This piece is considered by many to be Rachmaninov’s finest achievement. A powerful sound, produced by a force of over 100 singers, will bring this music to life.
