Bandura-Players Trio of the Ukrainian Radio. De viter zemlyu holubyt. /premium, digi-pack/. (Where the Wind Cuddles the Land)


"The Bandura Players Trio of the Ukrainian Radio" – the creative credo of this small but amazingly brilliant team is coded in this name. Although its main task is to make audio records for the Ukrainian radio Fund (as it is a well-known collection, which reflects the history of Ukrainian culture) the Trio has a surprisingly bright creative biography..

Bandura-Players Trio of the Ukrainian Radio. Melodiji ridnoho kraju. (Melodies of the Native Land)


If we are not mistaken, you now see already the second album by this trio – it's nice. Because you start listening – and immediately you are shrouded by such spring, real magic, that you don't want to say or do anything – only to listen. Still, in sounding of the bandura there is some lightness and clarity, which is able to raise you unnoticed over the earth..

Volodymyr Luciw. Ukrainian folk songs & dumy.


Volodymyr Luciw is one of those Ukrainian artists who during their whole life have honored and glorified Ukrainian art in the world. But it happened so that an enormous part of his creative life passed outside Ukraine. It is, actually, possible to say that up to a certain moment he was better known and respected abroad than in his motherland.
