Slonimsky is known for his profound, sincere, and melodious style, and chorus appears in all of his operas, ballets, and symphonies. This \"Requiem\" is a large work with soloists, a large chorus, and orchestra, which Slonimsky undertook because \"a composer can compose a requiem only once in his lifetime. It is full of power, somewhat reminiscent of Russian opera, and contains not only beautiful solo pieces, but also a large chorus and sometimes violent orchestral accompaniment that conveys a strong sense of prayer on a large scale. Conducted by Kontorovich, who was born in Moscow in 1947.He studied choral conducting and has been a professor at the Moscow Conservatory since 1996. He has recorded many CDs by Khorostovsky and others, and is active in Russia and abroad.
