Sanctuary of St Isaac's Cathedral in St Petersburg Russia.wmv

Designed by Auguste Montrerand and constructed over 40 years from 1818 and intended to be the largest Orthodox church in the then Russian Empire, St. Isaac's Cathedral (Isaakievskiy Sobor) is the fourth largest dome church in the world today. An imposing structure with a height of 101.5 metres and interior area of 4000 square metres, it is richly ornamented with statuary and mosaics. Bill Douglas's reverential 'Deep Peace', performed by the rich choral voices of the Ars Nova Singers, provides a melodically meditative musical accompaniment. Spiritual quotes by the Buddha, Siddartha Gautama, and the fourteenth Dalai Lama.
