I don’t have much to tell you about this orchestra, as everybody who likes to listen to Ukrainian music sooner or later gets acquainted with its creative activities. These musicians work much and fruitfully with leading artists of Ukraine, they have recorded a lot of library music, moreover, the period of their existence – more than 30 years - speaks for itself. In case it does not speak for itself, you should simply try and listen to it. This is a masterly and harmonious performance of a great orchestra consisting of real masters, which is rated highly not only in Ukraine, but far beyond its bounds. Everything is efficient and right – and performed with spirit. What is more important - it is not a bare technique. It is easy to feel. After all, these are folk instruments. No doubt, this fact applies special tones to the attitude towards this music and its sounding. The palette of genres of the performed compositions is pleasantly rich – this disc contains melodies, which really became famous almost all over the world long ago, and not in the last place thanks to this orchestra. That’s why I have nothing to do but to wish you to get a real pleasure of this disc. I think, it is very easy.

Marinita is, in fact, Maryna Zakharova, who was the heart of the very original project Anno Domini. So, Marinita is a certain development to the story, testing herself in a new, even more open format: with the opportunity to collaborate without any special linking to a certain composition. The debut album under the new name...

...the album at once creates elated, festive mood – but in a surprising way. In the correct way. Because, although about a half of the compositions can hardly be called merry ones – a smile is very expressly felt in them. Somewhere dim, somewhere transparent, somewhere dreamy, somewhere thoughtful – but it is present in each piece, and it warms.

Far not every musician is able to breathe in real life into age-old instruments, to let them sound brightly, deeply – not with glass strasses, but with jewels. Olexa Kabanov, no doubt, is. In his performance traditional melodies sound as if they did not have hundreds of years behind their back – to that extent they are live, close, and warm.

In the world, certainly, there are quite a lot of people who play Celtic music – and even more say that they play it. But not everyone is able, having taken a correct basis, to correctly invest his or her own breathing into it – so that the harmony really came to life. Rune – you will hear that yourself – taught their music not simply breathing...

The name of a disc speaks for itself. Here are hopak, sirtaki, lezginka, hava-nagila. Executed on a synthesiser, these melodies are intended rather not for domestic listening, but for use at lessons of dances, or in the dramatised performances or concerts at school or kindergarten.

It seems that every musician who follows the way of self-perfection early or late faces the music culture of the East – and gets penetrated with it. In the end, it is difficult to stay indifferent to this beauty. Thus, the only thing left is to let it in, let it through and – let it go. Evidently, Olexa succeeded in it – you will hear that yourself.

I have two addictions, one being music. This CD is filled with beautiful music of Ukraine, and Kiev in particular. Although I do not understand the Ukrainian language it is the music which is important. Music crosses all ethnicities, borders and humanity world-wide and is vitally important to me.
