The oldest of these recordings was made as early as 1972 and the latest one was made in 1992, when Ukraine became an independent state. So, this disc covers twenty years, during which three epochs have changed. Children of those days now have their own children, but songs have their own time dimension. Today everybody sings them, tomorrow – practically nobody does it, the day after tomorrow they will be recalled again and very often will be performed the way they are performed today. The same happened with these songs, and not only because they are folk ones, that is – almost eternal. There are two reasons for that, I think. One of them lies in memory, to be exact – in nostalgia for those times. To be even more exact – nostalgia for youth, when it is so easy to perceive brightness and beauty of life. Still, there is one more reason why people recollect these songs as they were performed exactly by groups of those days. You see, it is not the first attempt to perform folk songs with the help of modern instruments and devices and to interpret their music into modern language. Besides, twenty years present a real history within the history itself. At that, today, I think, we do not estimate the success of these attempts. We are just listening. As we listened long ago. As we listen now.

...within the series "Golden Collection", a sort of a souvenir mini-collection has been launched – which is exactly represented by another collection "Ukrainian Romantic Songs". Well, and speaking about the contents – consider: National Honored Chapel of Bandura-Players of Ukraine, V. Bujmister, R. Kyrychenko, Transcarpathian Folk Choir, Polissya Choir "Lyonok" et al.

Compilers of the "Golden Collection" do an extraordinarily important thing – they remind partially forgotten names, illuminate creation by famous people from some new sides. Due to such releases, it becomes obvious that riches of Ukrainian music are – practically inexhaustible. Thank you.

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.

If you look from one side – well, what can be positive about drinking? Both time, and money disappear to nowhere – and then, suddenly, the whole life might disappear somewhere... And from the other side – you should really know nothing about drinking to make your life worse.

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.

The National Radio Company of Ukraine, as known, owns huge stocks of interesting library records. And the series "Gold Collection" has already repeatedly proved that these records contain a lot of real pearls. So many of them that the "Gold Collection" is at the risk of becoming almost infinite...

...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.

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.

Диск хороший саме нестандартним підходом до виконання народних пісень. На мій погляд, найкращі пісні у цьому альбомі - це пісні у виконанні тріо Мареничів, "Чічері" Червоної Рути, "Била мене мати" у виконанні ВІА "Візерунки шляхів". Безперчено, хто хоче почути лише гарне виконання народних пісень - краще купити альбом тих самих Мареничів або Квітки Цісик.
В даному альбомі цікаво роспізнавати вплив часу та іноземних музик на українські ВІА. Тут можна почути і Джетро Талл, і Дорз. А от Джордж Майкл явно поцупив аранжування свого хіта "Freedom" з пісні "Чічері".
Але й без ложки дьогтю не обійшлося - з 9 по 13 іпсні краще перемотати. Вони могли б звучати на сільському весіллі під просту йоніку. Так зіпсували "Підманула-підвела", що аж шкода.
В цілому - диск вартий уваги.

Many of these sound like bad theme songs from TV shows in the 70's. Most traditional melodies lost in the disco beats. Not recommended unless you want to hear a disco version of some traditional songs.
