Oles' Djak. Mahija L'vova. (Magic of Lviv)

In fact, this album is dedicated to L'viv. This city, which not less than Kyivis is a cultural and creative capital, undoubtedly deserves respect and gratitude. Lviv seems to preserve traditions very carefully. That is why it is not surprising but pleasant that the greater part of the songs is performed in the bardic tradition – just to the accompaniment of an acoustic guitar. I think you would agree that it gives their sounding that intimacy, thanks to which one at once feels implication to the action, notwithstanding personal musical likings. Moreover, these are the songs composed to the verses of very talented poets. Not all of them are famous people, but the name of Yurko Andrukhovych tells much to those who are interested in poetic Ukraine. This album is clear, autumnal, very much urban and tender. So, may it present you its delicate thirst of high autumn sky?
