Ukrainian retro has become the topic of this, third compilation – you understand that it is a rather relative and conditional definition. There can be no absolute answer here – only more or less adequate ones. Nevertheless, in our opinion, the task set has been performed successfully, indeed. A transparent sensation of something close, warm, partially forgotten a bit – however, not less native appears from the very first notes. Vice versa – the haze of time melts and attributes these melodies, voices with a sort of unreserved, indescribable tenderness. This is not even nostalgia – this is just some other perception of beauty, which we sometimes lack in our days. We live fast... But this music is in no hurry, it remains a quiet harbor – and it is important to remember that one can always drop in here to have some rest. Here, there are always smiles, and waltz, and warm evenings.
It is not only interesting, but also pleasant to know that – guess who – Oleg Skrypka himself made a direct contribution into compilation of absolutely all discs of the "Masterpieces of Ukrainian Music" series. Considering that it was his recording house "Kraina Mriy" that has been working over the series – that is, actually, not surprising. But, in any case, it is nice to see that Skrypka has revealed an outstanding awareness of the material. You should also take into account how extensive the palette of themes selected has appeared – and not hackneyed, by the way... We believe that when working over these compilations, he had a lot of interesting discoveries for himself – and we have no doubt that for the future audience of these discs these discoveries may appear no less interesting...
