Jeffrey Skidmore Bell Preludes
Rachmaninov Vespers

Listen in awe as the beautiful voices of Ex Cathedra soar to the heavens and descend to the depths in this powerful and meditative work. Considered by many to be Rachmaninov's finest achievement, the Vespers merge heaven and earth through luminescent, inspirational choral music. The work is interspersed by Jeffrey Skidmore's Bell Preludes, written to enhance the performance, evoking the religious chants at the heart of Rachmaninov's music.
