Firma Melodiya re-releases the recordings of American spirituals, now digitally remastered, performed by singer Ludmila Filatova, a soloist of the Mariinsky Theater, and organist Sergei Tsatsorin.
The unusual choice for the Soviet academic chamber vocal scene is explained by Ludmila Filatova’s relentless desire to learn new styles. The organ part was performed by Sergei Tsatsorin who also made the arrangements.
Recorded in 1984, this interpretation of traditional African-American religious songs appears integral in terms of concept, content, and personal attitude.
