As a matter of fact, you feel as if your old friends have come for a moment to welcome you – and stayed for some light hours. You see these people not so often, but when you do see them, you really feel glad – because with them even silence seems to be good.

At presentation of this album "Bozhychi" told approximately the following about its appearance: that once they revised all of their materials collected in folklore expeditions and understood that the majority of the songs they collected were about love. In this or that form, in various situations of life, but – about love.

This is an anthology of authentic Ukrainian villiage weddinf music, dating back to the dawn of the 20th century; spanning from the Syan River to the Don, and from the regions of Pidlyashya across to the Tavrian countryside. The listener will undoubtedly be enthralled by both the music's character, as well as by its mythological fundamentals, which have been nurtured by rituals preserved over a thousand years.

The universe of authenticity is an inexhaustible treasure, and the one who will manage to approach it carefully and respectfully will receive a great number of real valuables instead. Actually, the two fresh discs released by Gennady are a convincing example of such correct, attentive attitude. And in their combination – a wonderful illustration of the two poles of human life.

There are such groups as "Drevo", whose works can be considered the benchmark and example. As "Drevo" sings not just professionally, but so humanly, lively, so really that practically at once you feel a part of the action, an element of the live space in which this singing exists.

Incredible – Drevo will soon have their 30th anniversary already... For a person it is a bloom of forces, or more precisely – literally a step away from the very juice, the age in the eve of the first real maturity. It appears that this observation can be true for music groups as well...

Songs of the full year cycle are intertwined into the whole of the fabric – from winter holidays and up to the harvest time. They are mixed with lyric songs, ballads – but there are also a wedding and a cradle melody, and a few dancing ones. Thus, this disc does not set the purpose to recreate the vision of a specific rite or cycle.

At once, from the first word, this singing attracts attention – because one feels the ancient, true character of what he/she hears. And then one feels it again, and again – a wonderful album, saturated. They have worked well – at first, it is even hard to believe somehow that it is sung by young girls, whose cumulative life experience won't even make up a hundred year...

All performers on this CD are genuine folk musicians in the sense that everything they perform was learned by ear from the previous generations. The younger musicians are musically literate; nevertheless, every Hutsul melody they play was learned the traditional way.

On the whole, the album, I think, can create quite an integral feeling about the culture of Polischuks – the more so that here, in addition to ceremonial and domestic songs, quite a bit of humorous refrains can be found. And it means that the impression will not be one-sided.

...far not all field records made during folklore expeditions can boast such high quality as is represented here. Thematically, the album can be divided into two parts. The second part consists of lyrical songs. The first one – calendar ceremonial songs, among which there are Christmas carols, schedrivky, Easter songs, petrivchany. Plus – a few songs of the wedding ceremony.

I have already repeatedly understood it, and I understand it again – beauty of these songs is, foremost, in their being true. That deep truth that we feel subconsciously. And various song patterns and decorations – they are already external, not obligatory. If you already listen to it – you do it exactly for the sake of the truthful depth.

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.

Meet – the authentic folklore ensemble from Verhniy Bukovets village of Ivano-Frankivsk region, the Tafiychuks family group. "Melodies of the Carpathians" is the first album by the ensemble. However, you would not call these people novices – the surname of the Tafiychuks is well known, at least, to those few thousand people who have at least once visited Sheshory ethnic festival.

The space depth and syncretic specification of this music subconsciously give you an idea that the tradition of Ukrainian Hutsul, Pokutyan and Western Podolyan, enriched with the traditional stylistics of the Baltic States, the Alps, the Tatrs and Carpathian Beskids as well as the orientalisms, bore the astonishing aesthetics of highly developed violin folk professionalism.

...Music stylistics of this land is characterized by the taste of slow singing, lingering melosis and spacious text vocalizing. Singing by the Tereschenkos' family ensemble least of all reminds a studio recording schooled by rehearsals. There are quite a lot of improvisation fragments, performance spontaneity that does not avoid variant attempts. Everything as in domestic singing in twilight...
