Andriy Zalisko originates from Lviv, and he acquired his first popularity there. The stage history of Zalisko has been lasting for already more than 10 years – first in Lviv, afterwards he became popular in Western Ukraine. Professionalism grows – thus, ambitions grow accordingly. This is normal – especially if there are grounds for that, and they are here, indeed. For example, first copies of the new album "Christmas" were sold out literally in a couple of weeks. Taking into account absence of advertising for the album on central TV and radio channels – it is really a great result. However, you only need to listen to the disc to agree – there is nothing strange about its popularity. And here two factors could be found. First, the album "Christmas" has appeared very timely, the publishers have not confused the terms, and that is good. Second, an album with such a concrete subject is obliged to be of high quality, otherwise its actuality will last no more than a month – and that's all. In summer Christmas albums are bought now and then, and the next year they remember it again only at the condition that everything was done really well. That is – evidently, the next year this disc by Andriy Zalisko will not be forgotten, because it is really nice to listen to it. And what will you say to that?
