Владимир Минин

**Vladimir Minin** was a trailblazing Russian choral conductor who left an indelible mark on sacred and classical music. Best known as the founder and longtime director of the **Moscow Chamber Choir**, established in 1972, Minin became celebrated for his passionate interpretations of Russian liturgical works during a time when religious music faced Soviet restrictions. His ensemble breathed new life into Rachmaninov’s soul-stirring *Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom* and *All-Night Vigil*, while also championing modern composers like Rodion Shchedrin (*The Sealed Angel*). Minin’s recordings reveal his knack for balancing rich Slavic vocal traditions with crisp precision, whether tackling Schubert’s delicate masses or the folk-inspired textures of Gavrilin’s *Perezvony*. A guardian of Russia’s choral legacy, his "Russian Choir School" album stands as a testament to his educational impact, preserving centuries of sacred and secular harmonies for new generations.
