Description Five centuries of continuous choral tradition could have withered and died when the Bolsheviks exiled the monks from Moscow’s Sretensky monastery. But when glasnost saw it return to a functioning place of worship and the re-formed choir let fly with their unique and massive sound, any lingering ghosts of the dark times fled.
