About "Rachmaninov: Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, Op. 31: III. The Only Begotten" by Choir Of King's College, Cambridge
In 'The Only Begotten,' Rachmaninov sets a single, unwavering line against a backdrop of shifting choral light. The Cambridge voices trace a melody both tender and austere, evoking an icon's gold leaf—flat yet luminous, holding grief and eternity in the same breath.
