Since It's 2007 Moscow Premiere, It Has Received More Than 70 Performances in Different Countries By the Most Distinguished Soloists, Choirs and Orchestras, Garnering Standing Ovations at Every Concert. This SACD Features Five Works By Metropolitan Hilarion Produced Over a Thirty-Year Period, Performed By the Russian National Orchestra, the First Russian Ensemble Ever to Take Home a Grammy.
