Telnyuk: Sisters. The Road of Glass. Post-Presentation.

I will be really looking forward to release of the album with this music. And if I am able to somehow assist to its release – I will assist. And, I believe, this – or something like this – is what everyone lucky to be at premiere concerts of the new program by Halya and Lesya Telnyuk was thinking about. A brilliantly simple idea (for it – a separate and deep bow of gratitude goes to Kostyk Kostetsky) implemented in an impeccably polished form – that's what it is. And, no doubt, perfectly – this is just the word, no exaggeration. And it is very difficult to describe this very music with words – the more so that one would not wish to finally steal surprised eyes from those who have not heard the new program yet. Although one should mention in advance that from the old composition, only Lesya and Halya currently stay in the "Telnyuk Sisters" project. Completely different music requires very different musicians, this is natural. Plus months of daily (!) rehearsals – and we have such incredible teamwork that it is even hard to believe that these people got acquainted recently, in fact. But it's not only about the form and performance. Along with the music – wonderful music – there is the unordinary space of Oksana Zabuzhko, whose poems became the basis of the program. The tense nerve and fragile delicacy, clear mind and sensibility of experiencing our world – just enough of everything, just to the brim. All this together causes a full-fledged flow of emotions and thoughts inside of you – which leads deep inside and upwards...

This music deserved being supported. Supported with the heart and – one should not be ashamed of that – money. So that the musicians able to grasp and thoroughly implement this kind of ideas – had no need for any additional moonlighting. Let's respect high-quality, deep work. So I think.
