"In 2015, the Ukrainian project "MASTERPIECES OF THE UKRAINIAN VARIETY ART" was nominated for the Grammy award for the first time in history (in the category of "The Best Historical Album") – a compilation of 66 tracks of songs that were created at the Ukrainian Radio Company in the period from 1956 through 1988 by leading Ukrainian authors, performers, and sound engineers. It contains both authors' pieces and samples of the arranged folklore. And that is not by accident. Folk songs in Ukraine are a unique historical and cultural phenomenon, there is no musical legacy of any other nation that could be compared with it: approximately 300,000(!) of such pieces have been registered. In UNESCO record library, which houses a unique collection of performances of nations' folk songs, Ukraine is the leader with its 15.5 thousand samples of folk melodies.

This selection also represents the diversity of the Ukrainian school of performance, and that of the national school of sound recording. Almost all of these soundtracks were recorded as 2-channel stereo or mono, and only for a few of them the double-track method was used: thus, the timbre, dynamic balance and the rest of acoustic subtleties were addressed by sound engineers directly and immediately while recording. The analog format of the original tracks that best conveys the subtlest nuances of the natural sound is another valuable aspect of the collection." Mykola Ammosov, Chairman of the Arts Council at the Ukrainian Radio Company, July 2015 (information from the official press release)

Якісна та доволі цікава підбірка музичних шедеврів. На мою думку, таку варто мати у своїй колекції поціновувачам вінілів та українсьокї класики.
