Resonus Classics is pleased to present the second in a series of six recordings from the internationally renowned Saint Thomas Chor of Men and Boys and their late and celebrated director John Scott. Made over the course of Scott's tenure with the choir, and released commercially for the first time, the series continues with an inspiring and striking reading of Rachmaninoff's Vespers (All-Night Vigil), Op. 37. Complete with soloists Ory Brown (mezzo soprano) and David Vanderwal, Scott makes full use of the impressive resources of this much-lauded New York choir to transport the listener right to the very heart of this atmospheric and deeply powerful music. "The choir of Saint Thomas Church, Fifth Avenue, New York has been gradually building a reputation as a beacon of excellence in Anglican worship… The abiding impression is one of intimacy, innocence and wonder… This is a moving, memorable recital." (BBC Music Magazine).
