Ethnic Ukraine. Hutsul Melodies.

It somehow resembles a photo album or even a colour book. Not because some kind of imperfection or amateurishness is present here, on the contrary - masterly performance itself deserves due appreciation. I mean quite a different thing - in colour books usual things as a rule acquire such unexpected and bright colours that you have nothing to do but to be amazed. The same with these melodies – they can’t leave you indifferent simply because they are strikingly beautiful, gentle, bright and incendiary. There is so much sun in them, as well as clear air, height and tints of green that you even forget that mountains may be and sometimes are not only friendly but also menacing. And when you remember that, you have the feeling of respect towards those people who have enough vital enthusiasm to create such music, to reproduce such cheerful and light energy in melodies. In order to understand and to feel all these words you should live in mountains at least for a short period of time. Still, if you do not have such possibility, then you should listen to this music.

Ukrainian song and dance party. Golden Collection.


...music recorded at the CD is really various, cheerful and alive. I would like to stress – alive. Forty one tracks – forty one groups from the whole country, and at that there’s no synthesizers here. It is, I’d rather say, a force...

Une belle compilation, variée et originale qui mêle folklore authentique et morceaux plus stylisés. Les interprètes sont tous excellents. Bref, un beau moment de plaisir !

Five gold stars to the producers of this ethnic Hutsul folk music CD. I must admit I had to research the origins of the Hutsul peoples. This is wonderful music played at its best. I recommend it highly for anyone who loves Ukrainian folk music. The flavors of the various tracks are diverse with some reflecting their closeness to Middle Eastern roots. All in all a CD filled with delightful, lively music and some tracks of quieter, soothing folk music. Although my own roots are not Ukrainian, I am completely smitten by the music of this beautiful country.
