Songs by Platon Mayboroda. (2CD).

"There is something truly magnetic in this name – Poltava region – which implies the land of outstanding beauty where there is everything – steppes and ravines, Cossack woodlands, orchards, forests and woods, blue-eyed ponds and..."chafers buzzing over cherry trees"... Undoubtedly, this generous environmental wealth was reflected in a whole cluster of literary, artistic, scientific and grain-growing world-class talents. Especially – in music.

...And if we try to search for sources of Platon Mayboroda's genius, in addition to the "Divine Sparkle" we must also refer to the primal flint and steel that cast it. Those hundreds and thousands of expansive, as Poltava steppes, songs that entered the life of a peasant. Both the legendary Marusya Churay, and the salty, in the Cossack way sound humor up to the sarcasm of Ivan Kotlyarevsky, and the mystical word of the immortal Gogol who addressed the times to come, and Lysenko's supernal music... Strong, reliable and generous foundation. So generous that in some hick Pelehivschyna hamlet, in one grain-growing Mayboroda family it blessed for the world glory two prominent composers at once – the brothers Georgy and Platon.

...Platon Mayboroda is a whole, and – I am sure! – intransitive era in the multinational song history. Moreover, relying on the powerful foundation of the unique Ukrainian song heritage, he, eventually, truly universally glorified our folk songs due to his work."
