Pavlo Tabakov. Ty pidpalyla ray. (You Set the Paradise on Fire)

Pavlo Tabakov releases his third solo album already. This is good. Both because he creates high-quality Ukrainian-language pop-music – and during the recent few months our pop-performers have not been too frequently making us happy with appearance of fresh recordings. And because Pavlo Tabakov has a truly beautiful voice – flexible, expressive, emotional, able to identically well convey both transparent mildness, and strong passion, and a number of other tones and tints. It is also good because few young performers manage in such short interval of time (approximately two years) to release so many valuable, interesting works. Characteristically, Tabakov is supported in releasing his albums by patrons of art – because, we believe, it is exactly the case when the performer's talent is obvious indeed... However, apart from the talent, Pavlo Tabakov also has higher education in music in his stock – and a considerable experience of creation and performance of very different music. Though it is rather difficult today to find his recordings made in the composition of "Minstrels" and "Orpheus"– unfortunately. Therefore, the more pleasant it is that it is not so difficult to find his new, solo works – and they stably offer us the joy of professional, high-quality performance.
