Vladimir Pasuikov is in my opinion the most impressive choral basso profondo I´ve ever heard. That 100% modal low A1 was just amazing...and his massive lion-like voice is very pleasant.
He sang G1 earlier A :D listen closely
Every time I listen to this it sends chills down my spine, the solemnity is overwhelming. Russian choirs are the best in the world.
my right ear is jealous...
Change the sides
Mine too!
Beautiful, basso profundo amazing voice.
Beautiful, truly a gift from God, thank you for lifting my spirits
The director's cutoff at 7:13 was sweet! lol...just a gentle twinkle of the fingers...gotta love that.
This is the best male choir.
such a serious basso triumph starting at 3:00 and then the magnificent "ascending to heaven" choir immediately thereafter! Amazing stuff.
This a piece that may be sung at a funeral.
I had this song sang at my dad's funeral. Magnificent👍
There is a very wide spectrum of harmonics within the sound - not just the fundamental pitches, but the associated harmonics heard on individul voices, which mkes it an incredibly rich, warm and satisfying sound. It is ful of soul.
Such power and beauty in words of song , thank you for sharing ..
I get chills everytime I listen to this. Straight up beautiful.
i addicted to this post nearly 1 and half years. and always return to hear to hear this wonderful music. how beautiful! and the direction. has no air, and accurate, polite, just love it. thank you for posting. i can say this vidio is the most precise trasure i ;ve found in youtube ever.
this is priceless ... i fell like in another place
It reminds me of church when I was a boy. We had a choir of all the older ladies and gentlemen who would sing in the choir above everyone. I haven't been a practicing church goer in a while so this brought back some good memories. Not enough to make me sit through a 3 hour service (1/2 russian/english) anytime soon but enough to make me atleast sit down and appreciate my heritage
beautiful beyond words - feel it resonating with the soul
Wonderful performance!
Wow, I have never heard such amazing basses. That is truly incredible.
I love the bass! Such substance!
Awesome! Thanks for the post.
Wonderful performance ....
this is just simply amazing.....
I saw them in St. Petersburg in 2004. Their Debut cd on EMI is awesome (recommended for everyone), but to hear them live.... that is something completely different! WOW!! Words can describe.
wonderful music
Thank you very much - I appreciate it!
These are voices! The great Vladimir Pasyukov is really impressive as a basso profundo, and the solo tenor sounds quite surptising too.
Thanks for the translation!!!

I have been listening for hours. This is so incredibly moving, the voices, the setting. Did someone mention this must be a glimpse of heaven?
this is just brilliant. Can't get any better that this!!! One of the things I have to do in my life before I die is to go to Russia and listen to a real Basso profondo such is Vladimir Pasiukov!!! That would really be a dream come true for me. I hope I will be able to do that one day!!! Great stuff... Can't stop listening to this... Thank you for posting!!! If you have some more, I would be glad to see it!!! Greetings!!!
OMG... AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
Thanks...I'll check it out
Love the major chord at 3:54, 4:07, love the choral texture of the "baritones" at 4:32, and 4:49, and 5:09.
Rich...warm...heartfelt...
That major chord again 5:41....I love this song...makes you want to be there and sing with them!
Beautiful
Stunningly beautiful and humble. I feel the same awe when listening to the amazing ANDREY NEMZER singing SAINT FRANCIS PRAYER. Such humility and inspiration!.
thank you!!
Awesome.....
It's great to see a video like this. There is far too little of it to be found on the internet, as far as I'm concerned. I'm looking at the concert schedule of this choir and hope to be able to schedule a chance to hear them live. Truly superb.
Wonderful, especially the bass (of course!)
heyyy last time I came here I only got it in one ear hole,got sound in both now woot woot!
OH ! this is so GOOD
bravo voua. rusii au niste coruri fantastice si niste basi adevarati. Doamne ajuta!
...thank you for this rare gift.
Thank you for this video! And for the link. It looks like their first show in the U.S. in 2009 is in Palm Beach, Florida, which is only about 1/2 hour from where I live. I'm definitely getting tickets!
that bass was incredible and then from 4:12 all the way to end just made my day.
Fantastic!!!
SOLE
The last minute of the song is just incredible, sublime
WHATA A WONDERFULL BASS! MY GOD!!!
GREAT !!!
I agree! Those deep, dark tones gave me chills!!
My gosh, these guys have some sick bass singers.
3:41-5:28 is sublime,coming out of Vlad's solo,their voices and shifts in key get more dynamic and layered with every second. I'm glad I have no idea what they're singing,it allows me to have more of an emotional connection to the music on its own merit.
The tour begins in March 2009. First tour of North America. The basso Profundo is Vladimir Pasukov.
AMAZING SINGER!!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Great.
No doubt about it, the greatest mens choir I have ever heard. Unbelievable!
Vladimir é o melhor
What kind of fool could dislike this song? It's a shame some permit themselves to let a negative hold on this video...
this raises every hair on my body. i suspect it is not about man and his busy doings, but what is beautiful and right.
from about 4:45 to 5:23 is my favorite part. I listened to it over and over. The chord at 5:14 which I think is a suspended chord and then it resolves to a 5th sent chills down my spine!!
unbeleavable
The harmonies from 3:45 forward.......exquisite and moving!!
I love the open 5th at 5;18
Ahoj moc nádherné..sláva Petrohradu a celému Rusku až na věky věku AMEN
I feel so much deep anger and sorrow in this peace of heaven.
"Our time is yet to come..."
Des voix uniques, une perfection et une solemnité qui nous plongent au plus profond de la foi orthodoxe.Pavel Grigorievich Chesnokov était vraiment un compositeur de génie.
Un enregistrement impréssionnant.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
Beautiful voices! Beautiful place, God Bless them and God Bless you!
Помилуй мя, Господи
The music of the Russian Orthodox church is the most
inspirational, stirring and soulful music that I have ever heard. This ageless, inspirational sound needs to be shared with all.
@Horse1888 I completely agree with you, takes my soul to the heights!
Здорова, очень впечатлило
such empathy in those notes,I havent the faintest what they're singing..from 3:00 on for me it's such..gah..how can it be described in mere words. Only this side of heaven can we hear these kind of sonorous wonders.
Yes indeed. I actually just recently received the CD this is taken from. It is two selections from Pavel Chenokov's funeral service. The CD is one 55 minute track though. 3:00 onwards in this video is the end of the recording. The beginning is taken from somewhere else.
Pavel Chesnokov is the best choir composer, he composed the most beautiful chants i want to make a choir and sing his composotions
3:36=AWESOME!
The lowest notes in this are amazing. Rumbles my soul.
The incredible power of the late Vladimir Pasjukov.
This could almost make you believe. If this was on offer I would go to church
Very powerful bass-profondo, i've been lucky enough to see this choir live in Saint-Petersburg. For anyone interested they do concerts every monday and friday during the summer, and will be touring the eastern united states this spring. You can go to amaDOTbz to get info. If your curious his solo remains mostly on D2, and at the end steps up to E2, before going down to A1, and then returns to D2. As for other male singers, don't fret, our voices don't settle until the late 20's at least.
indeed!!
anyone else only have this playing on the left channel? wish I could hear it in stereo :(
Nothing beats choir song...This song makes me cry. I dont now what it is but its like some sort of sadness over Russia. Beautiful song...
A funeral prayer is what it is.
I agree with Sprautbirger. Be careful not to label yourself so early. It's not throat singing, it's easy and relaxed and natural singing. You have great enthusiasm... great singing is achieved through relaxation and letting go; never strength :) good luck
They just finnished up their tour. They performed in Miami, Atlanta New York area, KY and Aiken SC. There were only 9 dates fro this first run tour. One of the shows was pulled. If you have any questions for the director he is sitting next to me until 3/25/09
Frumos
There is a female choir. Several of their songs are on one of the Male Choir of St. Petersburg's CD's. I forgot which one (it is in my car right now). But the female choir was not on tour with them. I saw the Male Choir in West Palm Beach, FL (their first stop in the U.S.) several months ago, and they were amazing.
Yes, me too!
Thanks for the comments. I really apprecite them and delighted to see their is a lot of interest. I am working on the Basso's (who appears beginning at 3:25 of this video) name and should have it by the end of the week. This tour is really shaping up nicely. They will be coming to a lot of major venues and performing arts series in major cities. I will be creating a page on my website for them - ama. bz - Sincerely, Eric Amada
I just saw these guys in Palm Beach, FL on Wednesday night (Feb. 26, 2009). It was amazing. Does anyone want the set list? We actually got to meet the director. It was an amazing show!
For my voice...I need to learn Russian! These Russian liturgy's, corals and chants are pure vocal artistry!
1:09 Give(grant) rest, O Lord, to the soul of Thy servant who has fallen asleep (3X)
2:23 Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit (Choir) Both now, and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen
3:02 Grant rest eternal in blessed repose, O Lord, to thy servant who has fallen asleep, and make his memory to be eternal!
(Choir) Memory Eternal!(3X) (we sing everything 3 times)
1:09 - 3:00. There no such words in any language to describe that. Amazing.
me too, this phenominal, makes you reflect
I wish so badly I had found out about these guys a month or two earlier. I could have possibly made it to one of those shows. :(((((
not a clue what they're singing,but the impact isn't lost on me..I watch this about 6 times a day and it just gets more powerful
На самом деле этот хор дает концерты каждый понедельник и пятницу в петропавлоской крепости! Если сможете, приходите!
it is a prayer to God to keep remembrance of our dead forever alive.
In 8th grade, the first year I did chorus, I sung bass 2. Of course because it was middle school, it didn't go especially low, but I was able to sing a G2. When I got to high school, I sung bass 1, or baritone. I still couldn't hit anything below G2, but my range increased because I was now singing higher parts so I expanded that part of my range. This year I was moved down to Bass 2 again, and I couldn't go below a G. But, from singing low so much, I can now go down to about an E flat.
This is an exerpt from the "Requiem" service. Ti starts with the clergy saying the prayer for the soul of the departed. The tenor solo says"Give rest to the soul of Thy servant" Clergy :Glory to the Father ... Deacon Bass solo:Give rest eternal, in theblessed falling asleep, O Lord,to the soul of Thy servant departed from this life and make their memory be eternal.
Listen to Serge Jaroff`s Don Cossacks on RUclips. They sing the "Our Father" plain chant. The low bass
sings on a low Bb throughout the entire prayer. This was recorded in 1930 with one microphone.
Thanks for your comment, If there is anything else you would like to ask th econductor he is staying at my house till Monday Morning. Glad you liked the show
At 6'46'', I recognized Vladimir Miller, another great Russian basso profundo.
Wow... that is what I call a bass !!!
