Liturgy No.2
Right Angel Records, a Canadian label specializing in sacred choral music, is proud to present Roman Hurko’s third CD, LITURGY No.2 (The Devine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom).
Toronto-based Hurko is a composer and opera stage director, having worked with Placido Domingo, Dmitry Hvorostovsky, Andrea Bocelli and film dircetors Atom Egoyan and Werner Herzog, among others. LITURGY No.2 is his third major composition of sacred choral music, following the critically acclaimed LITURGY 2000 and REQUIEM FOR THE VICTIMS OF CHORNOBYL (2001). He composed the music for two plays for the Yara Arts Group at La Mama Experimental Theater Club in New York City: A Light From the East (1990) and Explosions (1992). In 1999, he co-directed Prokofiev’s War and Peace with Gian Carlo Menotti at the Spoleto Festival (Italy). Most recently, he directed Mozart’s Don Giovanni and Wagner’s Flying Dutchman for the Vancouver Opera.
