Kyiv Chamber Choir. Mykola Dyletskyi. Sacred Works. (2CD).
"Mykola Dyletskyi is the most eminent figure in Slavic music of the second half of the 17th cent. His work, to a large extent, determined the development of music on a territory which covered Eastern Europe and laid the foundations for a composition school of the New Times... From the end of 1670's Dyletskyi worked in Moscow. He entered the intellectual circle which united representatives of the new artistic intelligentsia of Eastern Europe. Dyletskyi was the first in Eastern Europe to write a theoretical treatise "The Grammar of Music". According to European musicologists of the time, Dyletskyi expounded the principals of music theory, composition, aesthetics, rhetoric and laid the theoretical foundation for the New Style – so called "partesnyi" which replaced the long-lived reign of the church monody. ("Partesnyi" from Latin "partes" – i.e. part singing)..." N.O. Herasymova-Persydska, PhD

"Mykola Dyletskyi's music came to us from the depth of oblivion only at the end of the last century owing to the undaunted research of the renowned Ukrainian music historian, Professor Nina Herasymova-Persydska, who discovered this composer for civilization... All the works recorded on these discs (with the exception of "Izhe Obrazu" and "Parny Koncert") were found, decoded (and one part in every work reconstructed) by Prof. Nina Herasymova-Persydska. This is the first publication of all of the known Mykola Dyletskyi works performed by the Chamber Choir "Kyiv"." Mykola Hobdych

"AgiaDimitra" male choir. Da voskresnet Boh. /digi-pack/. (God Will Rise Again)


What should one expect from an album dedicated to the Holy Resurrection? This piece by AghiaDimitra choir is dominated by – joy. Perhaps, it should be noted that the joy is profound. Not only in terms of authenticity, but also in terms of the spectrum range, with a bunch of shades, overtone...

Gospel choir "Hlas". Khrystos razhdajetsya, slavite! The Ukrainian Tradition of Church Singing. Vol.2. /digi-pack/. (Christ Is Born, Glorify Him!)


The theme of Christmas is actually gratifying, it is one of the most clear and joyful Christian holidays. But these chants – unlike, say, Christmas carols – reveal a somewhat different type of joy. Quiet, enlightened – as if one stands in the face of our familiar world and sees traits not subject to time or darkness manifesting through it.

Gospel choir "Hlas". Predsuschy javyvsya. The Ukrainian Tradition of Church Singing. Vol.1. /digi-pack/. (The Pre-Existent Appeared)


Life is a variable flow, and we often say that too many hasty, superficial, and emotional things get mixed in this water. But this album is a reminder about that at any time there is a stream full of peace, light, and joy. It does not hide from us, it is always at hand – just one heartbeat away...

Academic Choir of the National radio of Ukraine named after P. Maiboroda, Taras Shtonda. Hospody, Hospody, syloyu Tvoyeyu! Sacred Music. /digi-pack/. (Lord, Lord, with Your Power!)


This time, the Academic Choir of the NRCU managed by Yulia Tkach presents the outcome of its collaboration with singer Taras Shtonda – the owner of a great bass baritone, a soloist of Kyiv Opera and Bolshoi Theater in Moscow. The outcome deserves positive consideration – no doubt.

Iryna Aleksiychuk. Choir Compositions. /digi-pack/.


There is certain magic akin to the content of genuine, deep lullabies – although, sure, in this case the music is more sophisticated, and it is not limited to the "mother/child" vector at all. The emotional palette is very diverse, from the quiet waters of a prayer – and to the disturbing confrontation with the violent world of passions.

Anthology of Sacred Music. (mp3).


For all those who have no need for audio discs but do have the need for sacred music that sounds at home, not in a church – this disc will become just a wonderful acquisition. First, these are, as you can see, five albums on one disc. But number not always can say anything about quality, of course. Thus, secondly – have a look at the performers whose albums have been included here.

This cd reveals the riches and the splendors of Diletsky's choral music irreproachably interpreted by very good solists and choristers. The only reserve is the very slow tempo used for the recitations of the deacon and priest's part. But this is insignificant for the whole.
Since we live now a renaissance of the religious music and so we have cds devoted to the works of Diletsky, Vedel, Bortnyansky, Berezovsky etc, it would be wished a recording devoted to the religious work of an another excellent representative of the ukrainian baroque music Vassili Titov, whose only few works are included rarely to anthologies.
