Performance Notes	Hailed as the greatest musical achievement of the Russian Orthodox Church, Rachmaninovs All-Night Vigil (Vespers) is also one of the loveliest works of any faith a profoundly moving statement of belief and the last major work the composer completed before he left Russia. Sung unaccompanied, the Vigil is a choral tour de force, pushing the singers to the limits of both range and dynamics. The effect is strikingly dramatic, encompassing the ecstatic choral celebration of the Resurrection Hymn Today salvation has come and the infinite tenderness of the Ave Maria. The Latvian Radio Choir returns following its performance of Orthodox chant in tonights earlier Prom. There was no interval.
