Galina Ustvolskaya: Symphony No 3 'Jesus Messiah, save us!'

Galina Ustvolskaya’s rarely performed Symphony No. 3. Valery Gergiev conducts the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra with Alexei Petrenko as reciter.

Translation of the text from the Reciter:
O Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, here’s a prayer for Thy Mother and all the saints.
Thou hast said, “Without me you can do nothing.”
Oh my Lord, in faith I embrace Thy words, and bow before Thy goodness.
Help us sinners to complete the work we are about to begin for Thine own glory:
in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
