Vognesmih. Kraine U. (Country U).
We will, probably, start with a list. If you know the name and works by Oles Berdnyk – listen, because a half of this album is based on his texts. If you are interested in work by TNMKongo – listen, because one of their songs lives here – and, by the way, feels great. If the name of Oles Zhuravchak is familiar to you (do you remember his two discs with the name "Singing Pan-Pipe"?) – listen for sure. The more so that here he is not only a musician, but also the creative manager. If earlier he masterfully, brightly played folk melodies and their arrangements, now it is other creativity, another approach. But – with that the same mastery, high class of performance. Moreover – in addition to folk wind instruments, Oles Zhuravchak has mastered varied percussions. 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. Fortunately, mastery of performance does not yield to the breadth of palette – that is why this component adds delicious drive to this music and, at the same time, some transparency, lightness. Strong lightness – such combination is not often found in rock music, even when it is folk rock. But here it is just like that. So, it is pleasant that the interesting music interlaces not with empty lyrics, but with real thoughts. The depth of the thoughts varies, sure. But in a pied world thoughts must also be pied – otherwise, life turns into existence of biomass...

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.

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


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.

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.

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.
