The Wonderworld of Poltava Songs.
As it is known, Poltavshyna is glorified not only by Sorochyntsi and the purest Ukrainian language. This region till now hardly not the richest on folklore songs. The proposed disc is called to show these riches, it is made brightly. Songs are sung by different collectives, but are equally qualitative. By the way, it is necessary to pay attention to work of collective "Drevo" (28, 29, 31). You already could hear its abilities, listening to Olexander Nesterov's album "Contaminated sounds". People which play authentic material whenever possible closer to the original, but pass it through a prism of music education. In this case songs get new paints.

"Drevo", female ensemble from the Kryachkivka village. Bahatoholossja. (live). /mini-pack/. (Polyphony)


One song, another one, and here it already seems that when performing they appear in some different dimension, fly up in sorrow and tranquility. Here the song fades, and in an instant the audience applauds sincerely - and these applauses seem to abruptly bring the women back on the scene. Possibly, too abruptly – and again they squint at the light, smile awkwardly. But in another moment a new song starts – and a new splash, new release in tranquility...

Kolo richky, kolo brodu. Music Heritage of Ukraine. /digi-pack/. (At a River, at a Ford)


Songs of the full year cycle are intertwined into the whole of the fabric – from winter holidays and up to the harvest time. They are mixed with lyric songs, ballads – but there are also a wedding and a cradle melody, and a few dancing ones. Thus, this disc does not set the purpose to recreate the vision of a specific rite or cycle.

Holosy mynuloho. Zhyvi perekazy Poltavschyny. Music Heritage of Ukraine. /digi-pack/. (Voices of the Past. Live Narratives of Poltavschina)


The album offers to the listener traditional Poltava music of various styles and epochs – without arrangements, in the pure form. Such recordings may grow almost impossible in a very close future. Thus, listen – and do not say that you did not see it.
