The deacon chanting is a protodeacon (it says it in Russian) not an archdeacon. A protodeacon is married clergy and wears a double orarion as opposed to a deacon wearing a single orarion. An archdeacon is a monastic.
Protodeacon Zdihovsky has a nice voice. However, I'm surprised the accoustics were not better in the pre-revolutionary Christ the Savior Cathedral.
I thought the singing of the Creed was much better done than the Many Years sung for the royal family (which in the Russian Church would have been sung in every church in Russia on that day).
Erasmus wrote in post number 2:
So, how'd that work out for them?
in response to
Archdeacon (sic) Afanasii Zdihovsky sings Many Years to the Russian Emperor Nicholas II, Empress Alexandra Feodorovna and the Imperial family:
Erasmus, do you know that Nicholas II and his immediate family were murdered by Godless communists, and are martyrs and saints in the Orthodox Church? I recommend you read about his life; you will see a man who suffered greatly for his faith.
The link below gives the best rendition of Memory Eternal for the royal martyrs I've ever heard.
