  • The 20th album from the exellent and award-winning choir Tenebrae
  • Tenebrea has worked extensively with the Russian language and Russian choral music
  • This recording is a result of their exeprience, featuring many composers. Among them lesser known and very famous composers such as: Chesnokov, Golovanov, Grechaninov, Kalinnikov, Kedrov, Rachmaninov and Tchaikovsky
Russian Treasures is the twentieth album from award-­winning professional choir, Tenebrae, and the first release on new label Bene Arte, established exclusively to record the choir and associated artists. Russian choral music has been a feature in Tenebrae’s concert performances since the choir’s inception and over the years they have worked extensively with Russian language coaches whilst nurturing their own characteristics of passion and precision to deliver a special and heartfelt tribute to the music of these great composers. This disc was inspired by the rare manuscripts collected by director Nigel Short during his travels around Russia. The exquisite collection includes some little-­known gems, rarely heard outside Russia and never before recorded in the UK, as well as some familiar favourites from this vast area of choral repertoire.
