Nino Katamadze, Insight. Blue.

"...the strange snow-storm wails, look – in it, there interlace the sweet salt of the last dreams, the transparent sea in the evening...on all the ways passed water will fall and will wash off ashes, and you will ask everyone – who are you? and everyone will respond..." In what way has the third of the "colored" albums by Nino Katamadze has appeared here? Everything is very simple: this album would be different – or, maybe, would never appear at all – unless Kyev Chamber Orchestra "Collegium Musicum" directed by Zviad Bolkvadze took part in its birth. And the fact that creation of the concert concept and recording of the album took place in Kyiv, and the sound direction, mixing and mastering of the album was also done by Kyivites – these are no doubt pleasant and significant nuances. To be related to appearance of such music – this is, in my opinion, a noble business. At the same time, there is no sense to linger on the theme that Nino Katamadze is better than the rest, for here it is the issue of preferences, and not the very essence. She is just truly – special, and that is the essence. Even simpler: she is ultimately honest, no false. And this is – isn't it strange? – rare...
