Sergei Rachmaninov (1873 - 1943)
The Young Artist
In common with his fellow country-men Stravinsky, Prokofiev and Shostakovich, Sergei Rachmaninov was able to draw upon the music of the Russian Orthodox church, as well as the diverse range of folk music encompassed by the vast lands of Russia. Rachmaninov doesn't appear to have been religious in the conventional sense. He didn't attend church regularly, but in 1910 he made a major venture into religious music when he wrote The Liturgy of St John Chrysostom.
Some five years later, he was moved to compose a setting of the All Night Vigil, a combined service in the Russian Orthodox church in which the evening office of Vespers flows on into Matins as one long service for Saturday night into Sunday morning. It may be that the reason why Rachmaninov felt inspired to write this music lies in his earliest musical impressions visiting the beautiful St Petersburg churches with his grandmother, and listening to the beautiful singing.
With Donald Macleod.

Louis Spohr (1784-1859)
Part Four
If history has not been as generous to Louis Spohr as perhaps it might, one reason could be the high wall of Romanticism that seems to stand between us and the composer. The gracious elegance of Spohr's classicism seems altogether less grand than the gestures that were to follow from the pens of Berlioz, Bruckner, Mahler, Strauss and the rest.
Yet Spohr was a figure whose music laid many of the foundations that these composers would build on, and Donald Macleod considers this aspect of the composer's music.
