This is good news. I had heard about the miraculous icon of Kazan for a long time, but I did not know that there was a concert on this occasion in Skorbyashensky. What exactly were the musicians?

Кирил Митев

It's good that they made such an evening just for the feast of the Kazan Icon. It is always special in Sviyazhsk, especially in the Sorrowful Council. And exactly what plays they played, isn't it written somewhere?

Elena Barbu

I was glad to read about this musical evening in Sviyazhsk, especially related to the Kazan icon. It doesn't say in the article which pieces exactly they sang, but I imagine they included something from the Russian church repertoire. Does anyone know if it has been broadcast anywhere?

Иванка Димитрова

It's good that you remember Sviyazhsk and the Sorrowful Council, it's really different there. Unfortunately, the article does not say exactly which pieces were played, only that there was a chamber concert. Did you go to such dinners there?

Bogdan Barbu

I didn't see the broadcast, but I read that they played more of the cathedral choir with tropes and chants related to the Kazan icon, plus a bit of Russian classical music. I think it would be nice if they put the recording on the website of the diocese, so that we can listen to it here in Timișoara. Have you ever been to Sviyazhsk?

Мариана Иванова

Yes, Sviyazhsk really leaves a special impression, especially in the Sorrowful Council. It's a shame they didn't list the program - I'd also like to know exactly which pieces they played. Did you go to such a concert there?

Красимира Василева

Yes, Sviyazhsk really grabs your heart, especially when you enter the Sorrowful Cathedral and see the icons of light from the windows. Shame about the program, and I'd like to know what exactly they played. Did you go there for a church holiday, not just a concert?

Bogdan Tudor

No, I have never been to Sviyazhsk, but I would like to see that island with the old monasteries. The cathedral choir singing the troparion for the Kazan icon sounds just right for an evening like this. If I put the recording on the website, let me know too, so I can listen from here in Cluj.
