Khreshchatyk choir. Ukrainian wreath. Ukrainian Christmas songs. | | Track Reviews (4) |

A powerful tenderness – may be, the first characteristic, the first impression was like that. I think, here it would be appropriate to say something about the quality of this music, about the qualitative attitude. Christmas songs, shchedrivki and Ukrainian folk songs are recorded at this disc. At that, the list of titles in general does not impress at all – we have heard these songs more than once. Still, in this particular case it is not a drawback, on the contrary – it emphasises the quality itself and the completion of performance. It looks as if it were not so difficult to sing a song well, but to sing a well-known song in such a way that the attention will be turned to you from the very first moment – it is already the skill. Moreover, the singing is not only beautiful, but saturated with something that encourages wonderful definitions, which not always blend with language conventionalities, and this is a real quality. That is why I will not describe my impressions – I am not in a mood for going into paradoxes. The only thing I am going to say is that at this disc everything is so much simple as difficult and gentle. Having some experience of listening to music of such kind, personally I was surprised by the quantity and variety of waves, associations, images caused exactly by this performance. The performance, which is not only good, but also interesting, and, which is more pleasant, at the end of this disc it is as interesting as at its beginning.

Known as fancy musicians at noisy concerts, veddings and vechornytsi, in this album "Buttya" participants present the chamber aspect of their long-term work – both winter ceremonies, vesnyanky, and wedding, lullaby, household songs performed in the family or friendly circle.

As I have an acquaintance who works at the airport, I can confidently say: when flying away from Ukraine, people search for discs by exactly this Ukrainian collective, in fact, more frequently than any other ones. Whatever you might say, the National Choir named after G.Veryovka is a real, bright, original legend. Living.

This singing is soft and tender, but clean, ringing. It is not refined – and it is very good, because personally I see nothing valuable in refined things. At the same time, it is very clear, transparent. Not gelded – but live, warm. Real.

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.

I think that everyone who during the holiday has been visited by children who came to sing songs and receive a gift knows – there is great pleasure and joy in these songs. Especially if they are sung not “hit or miss”, but well – otherwise the celebratory mood may be spoilt a bit. As to this disk, you need not doubt – here, everything is sung either well, or very well.

In these songs – rest, and consent, and acceptance, and gratitude. In them – joy of farewell to what has passed. In them – the pleasure of meeting something new and pure. And as this time we offer you a disk in the mp3 format – it means that you will have enough of white silence for many evenings, and each time it will be different.

My husband, Bill Loke, purchased two CD's for me both Ukrainian Christmas Music. You have asked for an evaluation of the contents. I was trained in classical voice. I sang for years in choirs and as soloist. Now health does not permit me to perform so I get my pleasure in listening. The choirs on both these CDs are very well balanced, The male voices thrill me as they remind of listening to the male voices in the church I attended as a child. The diction is quite good in most cases. My competancy in the language had slipped over years of non use. Now in my dotage I find myself wanting to resurect the old memories. These two CDs have given me much pleasure. My eyesight is not clear enough to read the caption above in the Ukrainian alphabet, that too is coming back as I try to use it.So I appreciated being able to understand the words as they were sung. I compare the quality of this work with what I hear on the live media today and would turn off the radio and listen to this kind of performance.

Очень хорошо. Откровенно говоря, мне не все предыдущие отзывы нравятся, которые я писала для "Умки". В данное время не нахожу соответствующих выражений. Боюсь "такого наверзти!" Но моё мнение следующее: то, что мы слышим на этом диске, прекрасно и ещё раз прекрасно. Даже лучше, чем я ожидала.
