Mariya Stefyuk, Anatoly Solovyanenko, Kostiantyn Ohnevyj, Dmytro Hnatyuk. Maestros of Ukrainian vocal art. /light pack, slim box/.

Not always the name of a disk is absolutely truthful. But this time another name would be, probably, just unfair. Dmytro Hnatjuk, Konstjantyn Ognjevy, Maria Stef'juk, Anatoly Solov'janenko – the value of these names, these people, these voices for the Ukrainian culture can hardly be overestimated. I know for sure that it is possible not to love the Ukrainian pop variety - and, nevertheless, to admire singing of these masters. I am convinced that one could play this disk for a person who has never heard Ukrainian singing – and his/her heart will tremble and open. For the only condition – that this person has at least some feeling for the beautiful. And those who know – they know already that not many people, and not only in Ukraine, sand and sing so clearly, strongly, deeply as these four. These people’s singing has already for a long time belonged not only to Ukraine – it belongs to the world. And the world, I am sure, becomes better due to it – each time when their voices sound.
