---------------------------------------------------------
On 30 September 2011, a concert of sacred music
was held at the Basilica
di Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan. Attendees enjoyed
music performed by
the Moscow Synodal Choir conducted by Alexei Puzakov
and and the
Symphony Orchestra of the Academy delle opera under the
direction of
Diego Montrone.
Works by Sergei Rachmaninov, Giuseppe Verdi and Frà
Armando Pierucci’s
“De Profundis” – a cantata based on the poems by Regina
Derieva were
performed.
"...concerning Fr Armando, we should say that this was
a revelation. Pierucci
is a 75 year old Franciscan, who is said to be a fine
organist and has lived for
many years in Jerusalem, where he once aroused a polemical
reaction about
Semitism and anti-Semitism. The fact is that his De Profundis...
is a powerfully
beautiful work for mezzo-soprano (the rough but strong
Polina Shamaeva),
flute (an excellent soloist whose name does not appear
in the programme),
choir and orchestra. It was written 10 years ago and
strikes an admirable
balance between classical and modern styles, with a harmonious
structure as
solid as it is audacious, and enriched with profound
and provocative
questions on the meaning of life and death."

"Arcipelago Milano" 4-10-2011
There will be a new double cd (reissue) entitled “Via
Crucis – De Profundis”
released in October, 2011. It contains two Frà
Armando Pierucci’s cantatas
to the poems by Regina Derieva.
