Authentic music of Ukraine. (8 CDs, box set). // www.UMKA.com.ua

You see in front of you an extraordinarily interesting premium release – it successfully combines: the intense and diversified contents, which can confidently compete with contents of other collections of this direction; simple but beautiful design of each disc; democratic price. Actually, it is not only pleasant to own such a collection – it is a pleasure to present it – and this also matters.

The contents embrace two lines. One is calendar and ceremonial songs, therefore on the first four discs of the collection it is possible to hear songs for all seasons of the year, and not only festive ones. The second – songs that are, conditionally speaking, domestic. Pieces by triple musicians, ancient chants and dances, as well as (on a double disc) traditional and modern kobza-playing art are represented here. In total, these are 173 pieces, approximately 6 hours of music.

It is necessary to separately mention the high mastery of the performers – a complete list of the musicians involved speaks for itself: folklore groups Kralytsya, Vesnyanka, Volyniany, Lukiny Rosy, Stari Koni, Troyan, the ethno-group Silska Muzyka, Mykola Totovytsky, the ensemble of ancient music directed by K.Chechenya at participation of Nina Matvyenko and Nadiya Boyanivska, as well as Vadym Shevchuk (Yarema), Serhiy Zaharets, Mykola Plekan, Taras Shushaylo, Yevgen Gamaga, Andriy Bilous, Myhaylo Koval. You have already had a chance to see and hear the absolute majority of these performers with us before – therefore, we consider that their mastery will not cause any doubt.

Thus, the collection "Authentic Music of Ukraine" is for everyone who values professionally performed Ukrainian folklore, when they set the objective of, above all, preserving the tradition – and consequently play the music in a manner as close as possible to authentic one.
