The London Symphony Orchestra, alongside the London Symphony Chorus, have chosen a passionate rendition of Rachmaninov's All Night Vigil for their first LSO Live spotlight release. 2016 is the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the London Symphony Chorus, which was formed in 1966 to complement the already spectacular work of the London Symphony. This performance is conducted by LSO Choral Director, Simon Halsey. 'The London Symphony Chorus and conductor, Simon Halsey, expertly realised Rachmaninov's technical composition with energy and passion.' (Russian Art and Culture)
