Kazky didusja Panasa. Golden Collection.

Till recently there might have been no child in Ukraine who would not occasionally have listened to the tales of Granddad Panas, since practically in each house there was such a thing as radio. Especially earlier, when television had not penetrated into each corner yet. Still, fairy tales have always been something special, and those people, who did not like to listen to them in their childhood, must have been born grown-ups. As for this particular disc, even those children who are now more than 60 should know and remember them very well. You see, 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. When you are listening to them, the feeling of comfort and peace overwhelms you. You shut your eyes and feel yourself to be a child opened for a real wonder. I think, it is exactly in this that the skill of a tale-teller reveals itself.
