| Added by FS, 06 Apr 2016 "Bogorodyitse Dyevo" is the fifth movment of Rachmaninoff's famous fifteen-movement All-Night Vigil, or 'Vespers' (Op. 37), and is a tribute to Theotokos ('God Bearer' - the Orthodox name for Mary, mother of Jesus), making it similar in concept to the 'Ave Maria' of the Roman Catholic tradition. Rachmaninoff completed the Vespers in just two weeks in January and February of 1915. The premiere performance was on March 10, 1915 in Moscow, at a concert to raise funds for war relief.
