Rafael de Acha’s Music Notes site reviews the PaTRAM Institute’s Blessed Art Thou Among Women recording:

“Works by Rachmaninoff along compositions by Gretchaninoff, Tcherepnin, and several other musical artists that lived and worked in the past two or more centuries enrich the CD Blessed Art Thou Among Women, a wonderfully varied collection of devotional texts in praise of the Virgin Mary set to choral music and superbly sung by the PaTRAM Institute Singers, led by Peter Jermihov. … The singing of the PaTRAM Institute Singers is musically and vocally magnificent, with the solo work of soprano Fotina Naumenko infusing Ledkovsky’s The Angel Cried Out with an exquisite sound. Then there is the rock-solid underpinning contributed by the inky sound of the basses whose profundo voices lend a sound seemingly emanating from a source outside vocal human bounds. … Over seventy-nine minutes of listening one was entranced by this Reference Recordings FR-737 CD, lovingly brought to life by Alexis and Katherine Lukianov, dedicated to the memory of their father Protopresbyter Valery Lukianov. … this is an invaluable collection of aural comfort for the soul, providing music rarely heard and much needed especially now during these days of earthly troubles.”
