Don't we still find sporadically both time and inspiration for strange things and acts? Aren't we still able to at least sometimes see the world not as someone shows it to us, but such as we see it? Aren't we still capable of our own searches and conclusions, own pain and vein, own sadness and gladness? Reflections and revolutions, destructions and purifications, fear and crashes, heart and sun... This disk of the Kyiv composer Svyatoslav Lunyov is not an answer, not a panacea. It is a question, juxtaposition, collision. And – penetration, association. From outside, the album may sometimes appear rough, unfriendly, set for a dispute. But it seems to me that in reality it is fragile and defenseless. This music is as though a child who was unfairly offended by strangers, and it can start crying from despair, or it can initiate a fight. However, it can also start laughing – and, in the end, that is to what all that leads, and results in. In any case, the green sprout chops up concrete – and a person comes to purification and joy. Everyone – in his/her own way, and sometimes – already after death, but comes, in any case. However, it is not necessary at all to wait until then – there is always a choice. That is why disks like this one are needed. At all events, it seems to me that "Para Pacem – Para Bellum" by Svyatoslav Lunyov is music of purification. Not automatic – but through realization.

..the monotonous repetition of the structure of formal motions results in that you stop taking this structure into account, noticing it – from now on you see quite different things here. This, if you wish, can be compared with Buddhists' reading of mantras: first you set a structure, and then you go beyond its scopes. So, Kotra has not abandoned the quest – and again tries to fit the listener into a situation of liberation.

We could say that it is a disc rather easy for perception – so easy that even almost a dancing one. In any case, rhythms pulsate stably here, do not break, do not disappear all of a sudden. The other way round – they develop, flow, grow in. But, at the same time, the melodies induce not so much to entertainment and loud conversations as to reflections, attentive perception.

And due to active use of live instruments, this music is called post-rock. And due to how exactly and in what combinations they are used – it is named ambient and psycho-folk. It is a live, warm matter, and it bears a long, tangible, contemplative feeling – of coziness, growth, flow...

This is as if an ocean liner flows in the large water: sharp sounds of dancing music echo from some deck, in the wardroom one hears laughter and an intellectual cabaret surprises, and from the hold mysterious sounds of invisible but saturated motions are meantime heard. While all around there is always – only the dark sky, salty air and the water that you see neither the edge nor the bottom of...

I recommend not to do anything for some time, there is a nice alternative. Without exaggeration and flattery – discs by exactly this man can be called original electronic symphonies, and I am not sure that there are analogues of this phenomenon in Ukraine.

"...there is a certain analogy with Bach's cycle "The Art of the Fugue"; in Bach's work the didactic idea and its application are primary. I could have called this cycle "The Art of the Melody", but in this name the didactic idea is missing and only the "art" is represented; thus "fleeting melodies" – the expanse, in which melodies exist on the boundary between their appearance and disappearance..."

...this disc even became the first (!) recording of sonatas by Myroslav Skoryk. Moreover: even the very music sheets of Sonata No.2 were not yet published at that moment. And Sonata No.1, by the way, is one of his diploma pieces in the domain of chamber music with which he in his time defended his degree after post-graduate studies in Moscow. Thus, this release can be justly referred to as really exclusive one..

...one of important features of all his music lies herein – it is practically impossible to perceive it in a contemplative, alienated way. Because it carries not only the atmosphere, feeling, space – but also a certain thought, question, message. Sometimes simple and clear, but often – encoded, hidden in complicated constructions and strong (as they seem from outside) emotions.

Romuald Twardowski composes in 2006 "Kyivska" Liturgy – and dedicates it exactly to the chamber choir "Kyiv". Such honor and attention could not remain without an answer – consequently, as it could be expected, the choir became the performer of the Liturgy... This is, sure, a good record – transparently soft and strong at the same time.

It is quite enough to just listen attentively to any pieces by Stankovych, from chamber to symphonic ones – and there are no longer any doubts: this man enriched not a nation – but humanity – with his creativity. The feeling is absolutely clear – the spaces that live in music by Stankovych breathe real grandeur.

Lyatoshynsky is foremost a symphonies composer. For him, sympyonism is a way of life in music, the principle of thinking in all pieces without exception, from the widest canvas to a choral miniature or an arrangement of a folk song.

In due time, it was forbidden even not to just perform this music – but it was dangerous to mention it publicly. And it is Boris Demenko who became the first performer and interpreter of all these pieces – and the majority of them are extremely complex for performance.

Actually, melodies of these Christmas carols are beauty in themselves. But here they just charm with fairy-tale transparency, the feeling of lightness and, simultaneously, saturation, filling. They absolutely naturally balance on the border between celestial and earthly music, between ordinary and elated joy. Wonderful work.

His "Meditation" is a symphony for a violoncello and a chamber orchestra. Meditation in a general sense is a state, a process and quality at the same time. Since a symphony is called to reproduce and to recreate the first, the second and the third, it is hopeless to reproduce the content. This music...
