Weatherall performs Khristos voskres, 'Christ is risen'
by Sergei Rachmaninov From Fifteen Romances Op. 26

English Translation:

"Christ is risen" they sing in church.
Yet I am sad... my soul is silent.
The world is steeped in blood and tears,
and so this hymn before the altars
sounds like an insult.

Were He present among us to see
what our glorious age has achieved --
how brother comes to hate his brother,
and how shameful is mankind --
and if, within the shining church,
this "Christ is risen" he were to hear,
what bitter tears
before the crowd would He sob!
