"Pochayna" choral chapel. Oratorio "Kyiv-Mohyla Academy".

Pieces of our well-known composer Victor Stepurko appear here not for the first time already, and we have come across work of the choral chapel “Pochajna” not once already. Thus, we understand very well what a high class we should expect from music on this disc. Actually, the most demanding expectations – will be satisfied. The disc devoted to the 390th anniversary of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy consists of two parts. The first one is Victor Stepurko's oratorio "Kyiv-Mohyla Academy". The second part consists of fragments of a concert of the choral chapel "Pochajna" held on December, 11, 2005. At the concert, well-known pieces by famous Ukrainian composers sounded – both by V.Stepurko, and by M.Verykіvs'ky, O.Yakovchuk, L.Revuts'ky, M.Lysenko. You, by the way, already had the opportunity to hear a part of these pieces earlier on other discs by "Pochajna". But this time they are parts of a uniform, live concert. And you, I suppose, understand that it is usually more interesting to listen to qualitative recording of live performance, than studio one. The record represented here is, certainly, qualitative – thus, enjoy it.
