Henry Fogel offers a new review for the GRAMMY®-nominated Teach Me Thy Statutes recording from PaTRAM in the January/February 2019 issue of Fanfare Magazine:

“this is the first disc I have encountered devoted entirely to [Pavel Chesnokov’s] music. I found it exquisitely beautiful. This kind of music is particularly dependent on performance quality, and Chesnokov has ben fortunate here. … [The PaTRAM Institute Male Choir sings] with a remarkably even blend while still retaining clarity. Intonation is perfect, as is the unanimity of dynamic shading, and they give meaning to the texts… the recorded sound is exemplary, capturing the resonance of the church in Russia in which the recording was made while at the same time never slipping into muddiness. … for anyone who enjoys great choral singing this can be recommended with enthusiasm. I am on my fourth listening and find more to love each time.”
