Vasyl Stus. (and others). Zhyvyj holos Vasylia Stusa. (The live voice of Vasyl Stus)
The title of the disc speaks by itself. Everybody knows who Vasyl Stus is. And it is not for me to enlighten those who do not know. Why is this disc so interesting? First of all, the voice of Vasyl Stus himself sounds at it as he recites his own poems. Poems, recited by an author aloud always differ from an author’s poems recited by us, who are not authors, in their sounding and intonations. In the second place, at this disc you may hear the poems of Vasyl Stus recited by such people like the sisters Halyna and Lesya Telnyuk, Serhiy Moroz, Halyna Stefanova. These are those people who were first to include actively his poems into their concert repertoire. Still, notwithstanding all mentioned above, you do not find so many pompous figures at this disc. There are voices, music, poetry – and silence. The silence of pauses and the silence of words. The silence of things that exist without being pronounced aloud.

Like Bystrushkin's previous albums, this record is also a melodic recitation. Slow, thoughtful – as a way to pay tribute, as a way to listen more carefully.

MuzBat. Neskoreny ProRock. Vasyl Stus. /songbook+CD/. (Unsubdued ProRock. Vasyl Stus)


(this edition is an exclusive thing, and you cannot buy it. But you can get it as a present). – Vasyl Stus, a poet and citizen, belongs to the cohort of daredevils who disagreed with the conventional: one soldier does not make a battle. With all his struggle-of-life, struggle-of-art, Stus and his stubborn like-minders proved the opposite..

Tanya Sha, MuzBat. Neskoreny ProRock. Olena Teliha. /songbook+CD/. (Unsubdued ProRock. Olena Teliha)


(this edition is an exclusive thing, and you cannot buy it. But you can get it as a present). – The emotionality, tension, and passion of Teliha's poetic language impress and attract. Moreover, her experience is inscribed in urban landscapes, everything seems to be happening right now and to you personally.. – Tanya Sha

Dilya, Orest Krysa. 22. /digi-pack/.


..this is why the album has turned out very easily presented. With the unobtrusive simplicity that knows how to avoid primitivism. Due to this, the lyrics do not get lost in the arrangements – which also matters, because a lot of truly cool, and sometimes – already classical – poems were set to music here.

Karbido, Yuri Andrukhovych. Absinthe. /super-pack/. (CD+DVD).


...a mysterious story of Stanislaus Perfecki – a poet, a traveler, and a performer who embarks upon a journey from Lviv to the West, and ultimately emerges in Venice, the City of Ghosts. There, he experiences a series of incredible adventures and falls in love with Ada Cytryna, his interpretress. Being forced to part with his beloved woman and unable to fulfil his special top secret mission, Perfecki vanishes..

Levko Tymoshchuk. Kriz plach ta stohin... /digi-pack/. (Through Cry and Moan...)


..and one can hear here verses by Stus, Sosyura, Ukrainka, Lysheha, Shevchenko – just listen how up-to-date the lines written by these people in the seemingly different epochs sound. Although in some general sense, they belong to the same epoch – that of self-realization. "Hit that rock"...

Komu Vnyz. 4: Shevchenko. (EP). /digi-pack/.


..There is space both for an atmospheric ballad, and for the proprietary hard "art-bombardment", and a recitative prophecy/spell that makes you freeze – in other words, listen. A worthy succinct statement.

Oksana Zabuzhko. reading own poems. /digi-pack/


It, sure, happens differently to everyone. Oksana Zabuzhko's poetry is what I, for example, have not read till now, but now – I will definitely go on reading it. Why? Because this recording simply and clearly creates a good impression – and causes the desire to meet again, to find out more. Because having listened to the disc, you get, so to say, a complex pleasure...

Olha Bohomolets. For Lina Kostenko Con Amore. /Hyacinth Sun/. (2CD). /digi-pack/.


..the whole album is devoted to writings by Lina Kostenko. And one does not even want to say how much beauty, love, pain, intelligence, passion, contemplation are there in her poems.. Yes, all of this is there. But the main thing is that they are – extremely honest. And it is honesty that is able to make these beauty, pain, love, understanding – significant, deep, perceptible and important for others. For us.

Serhij Moroz. Jarij, Dushe...


Vasyl Stus is one of those poets who are known to everybody who knows at least something about Ukrainian poetry. That’s why it is not a surprise to anyone that from time to time musicians of quite different styles and trends turn to his literary heritage...

Iryna Shynkaruk. Mira. (Measure)


"Measure" is not just a new album by Iryna Shynkaruk. Actually, this is not even an album in the ordinary sense of the word, it's something different. The singer says that this project currently does not have analogues in Ukraine – and, as far as we know, it does not indeed. Although, it would seem, the idea is extraordinarily simple and obvious..

S.T.i X. project. Platnyj pljazh na Stixi.


This album is really like an explosion, about which you suddenly understand that it is not so much an explosion outside, but most likely an explosion inside. When you look through the window, it moves away. When you knock on the door, it moves near. When you pass by, it is over.

Глибоко схиляюся перед тими, хто зміг зберегти для нас голос Василя Стуса, перед тими, хто дарував цей голос сучасним поколінням, і тими, хто не пошкодував часу, коштів і праці для створення цього диска. Василь Стус є й досі незрозумілим і неоціненим, наша свідомість і рівень цінування Геніїв ще нездатні осягнути його величі. Ми не розуміємо, що серед нас страждав один з найкращих. Що ми не вберегли поета, якому важко знайти рівного у світі.
Коли Василь загинув, мені не було 10 років. Мало минути ще п’ять, щоб я зрозуміла, що серед нас був надзвичайний чоловік. І мене іноді охоплює сором... за Україну... і за себе. Я відчуваю, що ми дуже багато завинили перед Василем. Я б хотіла просити у нього пробачення за всіх українців, які свого часу від нього відвернулися.
Нехай цей диск буде ще одним знаком нашого вибачення перед Василем Стусом.
