...children's singing always stands a bit aloof from all music forms. It is a sort of unchangeable coin – which in all "adult" styles is used very carefully, so that it did not lose its innocence.

...because sincere child singing is able to smooth out wrinkles on the forehead of even a very grown person. You know, I sometimes feel sorry that child's songs are especially written for children. If they sang other songs, about "adult" problems, discoveries and adventures – I am sure that adults would start perceiving life more easily and quietly.

...a collection of the best songs by Volodymyr Ivasyuk. These are his recordings of the 1970s made, mainly, when Ivasyuk was still alive. Some of these recordings, sure, have already appeared in various collections – in particular, compilations of the "Golden Collection". But such rare recordings in such amount – it seems that they have been released for the first time.

...there is so much positive things in this music as may be only in pleasant memories about one’s childhood. I have not remembered about childhood by chance, because it contains melodies, which were popular in different times, starting with 70-th and finishing with 90-th of the previous century. Most of us were children exactly in those time...

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.

...the recordings of the very first Granddad Panas are presented here – they were made in the 50-th of the previous century. It is a real rarity, but as we have already mentioned, fairy tales always remain actual. The more so as they are recited excellently. Frankly speaking, not every father can tell them in such a way...

Once you listen to such collection, you will understand something important about Kyiv, even if you have never been there. Because the main property of this city, in my opinion, is the cheerful calm, mild affability. Therefore, no wonder that such are the songs collected here.

As the first thing one pays attention to is warm-heartedness. Probably, this is the name for the feeling when one understands that not only technical skills contribute into performance of a melody, but also the heart. Probably, this is one of the main components of the beauty of music – and here this beauty is audible.

...this album consists of real old Ukrainian lullabies, and most of them are folk ones. They are performed properly, in the right way – not loudly, tenderly, not for a large audience – strangely enough, even when a choir of children is performing - as if they were performed for every person in particular...

Actually, the whole disk is full of such clear warmth, such transparent cleanliness that the soul cannot be silent as a response – it open... However, it is normal when you listen to singing by Nina Matvienko – either separate, or as a member of "Zoloti Kljuchy". It is not in vain that they call her a nightingale...

On the disc, six choirs and a few solo performers are represented – but there is not a hint of the feeling that this is a compiling. The other way round – uniform, integral fabric, surprisingly transparent, clean, fragile. This is as though silver in all possible displays – refined jeweler work, and weightless strings of moonlight...

This is the music of the youth that fell on the 70th and 80th of the previous century, and in those times it was practically impossible for our people not to know “Smerichka”. In our time it is only reminiscence. But you should agree that it is a pleasant reminiscence.

In the funds of the National Radio Company of Ukraine, they have found quite a bit of merry, humorous songs. Ukrainians have always been able and are able now to make fun of themselves, they are not afraid of laughter. And it means that they have strong roots, deep ones. There is something to be proud of and something to dig out. It is important.

With a plangent song the heart clears up. After that, it becomes empty, quiet and – light... It seems that the new collection from the "Golden Collection" series sets as the objective exactly this sort of impact on the listener – at all events, we believe that it is quite able to lead through sadness to calm and joy.

..the new disc is special for three reasons at once. The first one: until now, no discs devoted to Ukrainian folk dances have yet been released within the limits of the collection. The second – in this case, you will almost not see known names. Well, and the third reason is already more habitual: you will hardly be able to find the recordings represented here anywhere else, in fact, they were made especially for the NRCU funds.

Sometimes we have a holiday tete-a-tete, sometimes we have a holiday for everybody - this music suits exactly the second one. It suits the holiday during which you gladly greet every unknown person you meet in the street only because you feel glad. By the way, these marches are so melodious that you can easily dance at them. These marches are not without reason Ukrainian.

Ukrainian folk songs in general are phenomena, which are able to attract attention to themselves. Irrespective of the fact whether it is an authentic performance, or whether it is a professional one, or whether it is a modern adaptation. Because the Ukrainian language, you know, happenes to be melodious and euphonious. One can particularly feel that in Ukrainian songs.

..the folk songs represented here can be and should be considered a branch of the romance – as the music constituent is not a reiteration of folk melodies but authors' arrangement of them. In this form the songs were intended, let's say, for chamber and concert performance. It does not eliminate, sure, the "routine use" – but somewhat different aesthetics arise.

Personally with me these melodies arouse certain associations – the time spent in the city park of culture and rest. At any time of the year, since this music was performed there practically always, and it practically always blended harmoniously with a city microclimate.

Pay attention – in the 80-th of the previous century disco was performed all over the world, but the Ukrainian disco has such expressive Ukrainian features that you do not want to call this music simply “disco”. Most likely, it may be called “ethno-disco”.
