For those who might have heard Byzantine and Orthodox hymns, they will notice the difference with the lowest vocal tones used by chanters in Orthodox churches, with a low-tone droning voice called "iso." Especially Russian chanters are quite well-known for their guttural voices. This awesome rendition of Rachmaninov's vespers and the All-Night Vigil rocks so much. Essential. 2022 cd on Alpha.
thanks!
