Postop'janka z Podljashsha. Ukrainian ethnic music.

There is some general impression of this entire story. A simple impression. Thank God, there still exist people on the earth who in contrast to most of us not only listen to songs. These are the people who sing. These are the people who make recordings.

Pidlyashshya is a south-western region of Ukraine situated at the border, so naturally its culture is influenced by close neighbours – Belarus and Poland. In those parts along with usual songs you may also hear spiritual songs, Russian romances and songs, which once used to be Polish, but now have already become Ukrainian. Besides, at this disc you will hear no musical instruments, only voices. Moreoften, these songs are performed by women who are no longer young. In this connection two ideas comes to my mind. The first idea is that step by step our culture and our traditions disappear, and they disappear together with these people. The second idea is that this is not a usual singing. These are the voices of our mothers – not in terms of physiology, but in general, because only a real mother can sing with such tenderness, kindness and with such unconquerable patience in her voice. And as long as she is a real mother, then she is a mother not only for those to whom she has given life, but also for everybody. In general, for everybody who lives. So, such voices are recorded at this disc.

Not that long ago I heard singing of this group for the first time – and now it already seems to me that it is just impossible not to fall in love with them. And no wonder that they were recognized everywhere they performed – and it is strange that only now these records have been released in proper quality with a normal number of copies. And – happily.

Bervin Bervinkovyj. Ukrainian ethnic music.


...when listening, you feel as if you were not exactly a listener. It looks as if you came to stay for some days, and the family turned out to be so sincere and so hospitable, that the hosts did not just receive and greet you as a guest, but also started to sing a song, moreover, not singly, but all together. So, you feel so warm, that you are reluctant to leave...

Alexander Sparinsky. Chary Kupal‘s‘koji nochi. Musical Suite. (CD extra). (Midsummer Night Magic)


Olexander Sparynsky has already repeatedly proved his creative professionalism – we could only mention his projects "Christ's Christmas 2000" or "Go Out, Vesnyanky!". In the end, "Spells of Kupala Night" is also a sort of polyphony, in which ancient ceremonies, modern technologies, authentic singing, improvisation thought, etc.
