Rachmaninoff. Liturgy

Rachmaninoff. Liturgy (2025) is a documentary directed by Dmitry Yushkov rated 0.0/10.

An immersive journey into the sacred space of artistic creation. For twelve days, the ancient walls of the Cathedral of the Nativity of the Virgin in Veliky Novgorod became a recording studio, where a young team from St. Petersburg took on the ambitious task of recording Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom. The camera captures something almost impossible: the pursuit of acoustic perfection and the encounter between Rachmaninoff’s genius and centuries of prayerful silence. This is a story not only about music, but also about overcoming artistic challenges, technical difficulties, and human doubts. The film builds a bridge between the great legacy of Russian culture and its vibrant, living present.
