Borys Hmyrya. Great Kobzar in My Heart. (premium edition). /digi-pack/.
Basically, this CD is a second release of "For the Great Kobzar", copies of which have long been sold out – but. The first – and, perhaps, the most valuable – difference is that the new publication is a collection of restored records. No doubt, serious work has been done – because, despite the notorious quality of archive records of those years, everything sounds good. Well, and the second one – the content. Shevchenko Program, composed by Borys Hmyrya himself – is extended with the song "Nightingales Cry and Laugh" (the last work that the singer learned and sang), as well as arias and recitatives from the movie "Hireling". And yet – that's not the most important thing...

Words cannot express the entire range of emotions and feelings that sound in Hmyrya's singing – and all the depth of each color. Here it comes to talent that not only in singing, but also the dramatic one – of an unprecedented, by the way, scale. How much pain and light, hope and disappointment, one's own and others' life stories one should experience, truly live through them – in order to with such subtle nuances convey the most tender tones of the human soul... Moreover – when it comes to poetry by Shevchenko. It is performed too often – and in too different ways. And to avoid the false – perhaps, one needs to approach it not as to artistic objects, but just as to true stories. Thus, one should see these stories from this same height as Shevchenko did – even if from another angle – and Hmyrya, obviously, managed that...

The concert film "Our Shevchenko" is not a kind of a formal tribute. It looks like the thunderous silence of an inner challenge in the search for truth. The severe, exacting truth, often inconvenient, incompatible with the comfortable habit of ignoring what destroys the calm, makes one realize one's own limits – and, perhaps, go beyond them.

Borys Hmyrya. Velykomu Kobzarevi. /premium, digi-pack/. (To the Great Kobzar)


The disk "To the Great Kobzar" is small in size but a valuable present for all the fans on the occasion of Taras Shevchenko's 200th anniversary. This is a special and wonderful recording. Special – because especially for this release archive records were restored, and it was done as diligently and well as it is currently possible...

Komu Vnyz. 4: Shevchenko. (EP). /digi-pack/.


..There is space both for an atmospheric ballad, and for the proprietary hard "art-bombardment", and a recitative prophecy/spell that makes you freeze – in other words, listen. A worthy succinct statement.
