Oles' Zhuravchak. Spivucha sopilka 3: Sny Karpat. (Singing sopilka 3: Dreams of the Carpathians)

We already see Oles Zhuravchak with the project "Singing Sopilka" for the third time. But, contrary to the previous two times, now we know a bit more. For example, that starting from 2005 Oles has been one of main actors of the bright folk rock group Vognesmih. Or, for example, that in 2008 Oles Zhuravchak acted as the producer of the festival "Feel the Taste of Your Mother-Tongue" – within the framework of the International Languages Festival "Ecology of Communication". This impresses, doesn't it? – and, by the way, the circle of his activities and interests is far not limited to this. Considering the abovementioned, it is very nice to note that the virtuoso mastery that Oles Zhuravchak represented on his first two solo discs – has not been covered with dust, has not been lost. He is still able to fire up and refresh with light silver brooks of flying notes – and to thrill with unhurried lyricism of melodies. The modern and traditional interlace in his performance absolutely naturally, melodies of other peoples grow into Ukrainian basis simply and naturally – one even does not notice all of that at once. And – it is done in a talented way.

NAOFI. Melodies Of Ukraine. Ninth CD.


The ninth disc is an interesting attempt to reproduce folk and popular authors' songs in instrumental performance only, without the vocal. Timbre richness, bright expressive opportunities of folk instruments, delicate feeling of the energy of the music material and the general emotional breathing allowed creating the song music masterpieces of the Ukrainian people.

Vognesmih. Kraine U. (Country U).


Various synthesis is, actually, a characteristic sign of music by Vognesmih – as it has two powerful grounds. One is rock sounding, strong, deep, modern. The second is the ethnic component, which is based on the pleasantly extensive palette of authentic instruments.

Oles' Zhuravchak. Singing sopilka 2.


His solo performance and performance accompanied by an orchestra sound very bright and cheerful. Especially because there has been found the possibility for not only for classical compositions, but also for creative search. To make a long story short – it is good.

Ukrainian Barvy. Etno MIX. /digi-pack/


We have already repeatedly met Ukrainian Barvy – and the group has never disappointed us. It feels identically easy in absolutely different styles, it performs very varied music – spiritual, ceremonial, classic, modern, folk, variety art.
