'We Praise Thee' (Better Audio) - St. Petersburg Chamber Choir (oktavist, Vladimir Pasyukov)

I have uploaded classic video of the St. Petersburg Chamber Choir but paired with the higher quality audio from the CD. We have a strong oktavist section led by Vladimir Pasyukov, down to A1.

Chesnokov - "We Praise Thee" the St. Petersburg Chamber Choir under Nikolai Korniev.

No matter how quiet, thunder is thunder.

The voice of men. Can you imagine the voice of God Almighty? Can you image all the voices of His Saints and Angels singing His praise. Can you imagine?

Of all the music in the world, Russian sacred vocal music has a very special place in my heart. They just do something with melody and harmony which makes me feel so touched by the divine. I'm very grateful for Russia's contribution to music, and I'm saddened that there's so much strife between our nations these days.

I am a Catholic and I absolutely admire this chant. I love Gregorian chants and other Catholic stuff, but Orthodox chants are a whole new level to me. I love this.

[christopherdavis]

This is some of the most divine sounding songs ever. The bass voice sounds like it is bouncing off the walls of the universe and heaven

[dennisdistant]

Man what a voice. There's no one like him.

[Marcin-Byterunners]

His voice was so powerful yet so soft. Amazing. You could easily distinguish Pasyukov among other basso profondos by voice alone.

If you are not moved by this performance of "We Praise Thee" including Vladimir Pasyukov there is no hope for you.

I shed a tear from hearing this when I suddenly woke up at midnight and scrolling on my phone for a bit. Praise the Lord, the saviour of sinners.

"Girls talk in a higher pitch to guys they like"
Girls talking to me:

[pedromanuelguerreroaguilar]

My trust is in God and I'll love Him, no matter what, He will protect me and my family forever. Amen.

[Thecowgoesmoo]

I’m Orthodox. These sacred chants always bring me closer to my faith and culture. They bring about images of candles, icons, incense and communion. Just beautiful.

[epicsouththeoduskiangamer]

the hymn that converted me! brings me to tears every time

[AndreasJohanns]

Though it was recorded about 24 years ago, I think this remains the best version of "We Praise Thee." I know there are more recent ones, but the choral balance and poise captured here remains unmatched. Thanks for the upload!

[MatejXOXO]

One of, if not the most beautiful things I heard in my life. Sublime.

[markrymanowski]

When i first heard this a few years ago at 8pm, i just kept repeating on headphones until 3am!!
Seven hours of bliss.
The sound of the wind.

[Aaron.T]

Probably the most beautiful song I've ever heard in my life... This is the soul singing

This video gives me shivers, even tho I was born in year 2000 I still get a nostalgic vibe when I see videos from the 90s. Such a golden era of the world!
