Stanislav Lyudkevych.

(item from the "Rare Discs" section)
You will find the overall biography of Stanislav Lyudkevych in the booklet – and a short overview of major creative achievements, and even a brief description of each of the pieces represented on the disc. Consequently, the only thing left is to make sure that this disc is really worth listening to. If you are familiar with creativity by S.Lyudkevych – no need to convince – you understand everything. If not – then you show know that the most significant of his works are collected on the disc, which are considered classic standards of Ukrainian music. These are, actually, choral pieces, choral arrangements of folk songs and, above all, the choral and symphonic cantata "Testament" for lyrics by T.Shevchenko – it is referred to as the most accomplished music execution of this poem. Listening and perception of such music requires a certain level from the audience – it is true. But it is also true that the force invested in these works is such that this music strikes an even unprepared listener deeply, solidly. Therefore, we will stop dissolving dilute verbal ink here, listen, decide for yourself – in any case, this disc is not one those to which they listen once and forget. Thus, it is also better to consider it fundamentally.
