Written during Rachmaninov's most creative period, which culminated in the Second and Third Piano Concertos, the 1915 All-Night Vigil, popularly known as Vespers, is a masterpiece of 20th-century sacred music. Inspired by the Saturday All-Night Vigil celebrated in the Russian Orthodox Church, Rachmaninov's setting is remarkable for its melodic invention, choral virtuosity and Slavic intensity.
