The Orthodox Arts Journal reviews the new PaTRAM Institute recording, Blessed Art Thou Among Women:

“The repertoire lineup is indeed star-studded. Here the listener will find hymns that are familiar and widely beloved… Throughout the program, there are moments of exquisite choral beauty, punctuated by outstanding solo contributions: by soprano Fotina Naumenko, basso profundo Glenn Miller, baritone Protodeacon Leonid Roschko, and basso profundo Alexis Lukianov, who poignantly intones “Memory eternal” to his late father, Protopresbyter Valery Lukianov (1927–2018), to whose memory this album is dedicated. The recording itself was made in the sumptuous acoustics of St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral in Howell, New Jersey, which was built by Father Valery. Another special moment is the opening pealing of the cathedral bells, skillfully rung by Fr. Valery’s grandson, Peter Lukianov. … The release of this fine CD continues the remarkable string of achievements by PaTRAM… As one enjoys this present offering, one can only wish them continued success!”
