Title: great performance
Review: This CD is a collection of pieces and chants written for a basso profondo soloist. Vladimir Miller is the basso profondo, and does an astounding job on these peices. He's one of the few basses I've ever heard sing a convincing recording of Chesnokov's "Do not cast me off in the time of old age". Such a recording as this would be interesting merely because the sound of a Russian basso profondo is very unique. However, Miller does not merely possess an extremely low voice, he is also a very talented singer. He shows a surprising amount of agility in track "I will lift up mine eyes to the heavens" with some beautiful higher passages. This demonstrates he is not only good at singing subterranean bass notes. This is currently one of my most listened to CD's and I'd recommend it to anyone.
