Golden Pages of the Ukrainian Opera. Golden collection.
Unfortunately, our publishers have never paid too much attention to the Ukrainian opera – even though it would seem that in this area one can find lots of gems – by not only domestic, Ukrainian standards, but also by the international ones. It's nice that now within the framework of the "Golden Collection" it is possible to hear at least a small portion of truly exciting opera recordings. And, as is often the case with collections of this series, the disc contains real rarities: the oldest recording presented here (Myhaylo Donets, Karas' arioso) was made back in 1940! It is clear that the quality of the recordings varies – not all of them could be restored to perfection – but, in the end, so far this collection remains one of the few opportunities to hear truly legendary voices...
