About This Song
About "Rachmaninov: Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, Op. 31: VIII. Which Cherubim" by Choir Of King's College, Cambridge
In 'Which Cherubim,' Rachmaninov paints the invisible: the choir's voices become wings, rustling through a space between earth and heaven. The tension is exquisite—a hushed, almost unbearable beauty that suggests the cherubim are not singing but listening, waiting for the mortal choir to falter or ascend.
