Valerij Marenych. Hen, na uzlissi khrest movchyt‘... (live). (There, the cross keeps silent on the edge of a wood...)

Valeriy Marenych – is one of those singers, who gain their audience due to persistent work rather than due to talent. Meaning that we talk here neither about the great amount of video, nor about bombastic PR campaign. No, it’s not what we mean. Especially, since the trio has split up. Only concerts, again and again – what is, actually, a natural way of musician’s development. And Marenych here, as it is said, is in his place. Perhaps, this is because he knows how to choose the right song, while it’s a well-known fact, that he is the author of music. So naturally, he’s a central figure among the bards. He can even be called a patriarch and it would not be an exaggeration. As for the record available on this disc - it is unique. At least because it is a concert version. And can you remember any Marenychi’s concert records of the trio, or the solo ones? I think, you can hardly remember any - unfortunately. In addition, there is one more detail for those, who have already heard the album "Songs of Volyn’ authors". The motif of the mentioned disc is not repeated in the new one, but continued and developed – a half of these songs was not included into the previous album. So, this will be the first time you hear them – of course, if you have never been to their concerts. And they are worth to be listened to, because we still have wonderful poetry, and undoubtedly Valeriy Marenych is a skillful musician.
