Both of these two young bandura players are all-sufficient, both of them successfully give concerts, both of them have more than once won international contests and festivals not only in Ukraine, but also abroad. And here in front of you, there is their first solo album and it is really powerful. Without exaggeration. There is such great power both in their performance and their voices, such truth and something more, which enchants you from the very first second. This wonder is as simple as a sprout, which is capable to breach a stone on its way to the sun light. You will see by yourselves – these are two rays. Which meet. And here, in this point a corner appears. In this particular case – viewpoint. It is the case when a sum is much more than simply addend plus addend. It might seem that everything is well-known here. And you would not call bandura the newest instrument, and the songs recorded at this disc are more than one hundred years old. But the fire is present here, which I will not describe with words. Still, it should be like that, when talented people meet for the sake of a common cause. In any case, it seems as if these two had succeeded in that.
