Leo Witoszynskyj, Ostap Shutko. Concert in Lviv.

Leo Witoszynskyj is the Austrian classic guitarist, whose mastery has for a few dozens of years now enjoyed due recognition in the whole world. His family originates from Ukraine, but for the last three generations they have been living in Austria – this resulted in that now Leo Witoszynskyj actively develops cultural links between the two countries. He has given quite a lot of concerts and master classes in Ukraine, even got the honorable title of the "Honored Artist of Ukraine" in 2001. Now you see the first disc that Ostap Shutko recorded jointly with Leo Witoszynskyj – and this disc must not pass unnoticed by appreciators of classic music. Because this is the record of a live concert. Because when two of so known, talented people play together – it cannot be something ordinary. And, actually, it is not – even by simply looking through the list of the pieces, you will understand how interesting this disc must be. And the information about these pieces represented by Leo Witoszynskyj in the booklet makes the listening even more interesting. However, even without that everyone who knows the name of Ostap Shutko in fact does not need any further advertising. Regardless of the young age, he has managed to become one of the most noticeable, significant, and just popular musicians of the "classic" Ukraine. We will not enumerate here once again all of his achievements and awards, just – listen. Deep and thin, emotional and exact, free and strict – that is how this music sounds.
