В Москве подошел к концу IV Рождественский фестиваль духовной музыки. По традиции, в его программе была представлена богатая палитра русской и европейской музыки разных веков и стилей. В финале этого праздничного музыкального марафона звучали жемчужины русской духовной музыки: фрагменты «Литургии» и «Всенощного бдения» Чайковского и вокально-симфоническая поэма Рахманинова «Колокола».
