The expressive soprano and viola duo brought a guest soloist of the Bolshoi Theater Svetlana Kasian and soloist of the Bolshoi Theatre Agunda Kulaeva. "It is an eternal theme - said Metropolitan Hilarion. - Mother, crying about the suffering of her child, and the Mother of God, which is crying about the suffering of the world and prayer turns to his son - the incarnate God. " The basis of the product went to Medieval Latin words of the anthem, which is considered to be the author Benedetto Jacopone da Todi.
