Is this music from the same Ukrainian Orthodox Church the Ukrainian government just banned?
Anyway, if you are a fan of liturgical music, I'd recommend the best Orthodox Church music I have ever heard, which is Rachmaninoff's Vespers, with Alexander Sveshnikov conducting The USSR Academic Russian Choir, which seems to have had a rename to Russian Academic Choir. Apparently even the name of the former Soviet Union is being expunged online.
When I first heard this was when we were driving and it came on the radio. We had to pull over and listen to the whole thing. Got the name and I bought it the next day. I have heard others perform this, and there is literally no comparison to the Sveshnikov version. Looking on YouTube, I had a very hard time trying to find the original, nor a complete version by the renamed choir. I found it mostly scattered in separate segments. I am glad I have the original album, and recopied to my computer.
Here is a link to one of them. None of the others I have ever heard, even Russsian ones, have the Russian basses this choir had.
