Ukrainian Duos. Golden Collection. // www.UMKA.com.ua

At first I thought that this disc is devoted to family variety duets, but that's where I was wrong. However, we can’t speak about pop art here either. In any case, to my best believe folksongs remain folk ones even if they are performed by professional singers. As for this disc, not only folksongs are recorded at it. But if we are going to talk about variety art, it is better not to talk about the variety art of today – you see, this disc contains old recordings, some of them are more than 50 years old. To tell the truth, they have not become less beautiful because of that – you simply shouldn’t compare them with modern music. They are somewhat different. And it is very good. It is exactly due to this fact that it is easy to listen to them without comparing with others. It is easy to listen to them and to hear their beauty and harmony, as well as their skilful musical framing. To say nothing about the voices of the performers – now you seldom have the chance to hear such voices. Thanks to such discs you feel gratitude to people who have preserved musical marchives.

Ukrainian Tango. Golden Collection.

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.

Slavetni val'sy. Hrajut‘ dukhovi orkestry. Golden Collection. (The Famous Waltzes. Performed by Wind Orchestras)

Personally for me this music draws such a picture – summertime, a park, children with ice cream and balloons in their hands, parents walking leisurely, unexpected meetings with old acquaintances and a lot of smiles.
