Dmitry Krasnoukhov. Drops Of Rainbow. // www.UMKA.com.ua

Let Russian language in the names not mislead you – this is an ultimately instrumental album, an absolutely different language sounds here, the language of quiet heart. However, for the sake of justice we shall specify that Dmytro Krasnouhov was really born in Russia. But he has already for many years been living in Kyiv, actively performing virtually all through Ukraine – for the pleasure of everyone who prefers transparent music not overburdened with arrogance. Under his hands, real piano is born – light, soft, tender plays captivate, make things around very simple. It is, I think, simplicity of master skills, behind which there are, probably, quite complicated things. The feeling arises that all melodies of the album look for one thing – unification of everything with everything. And each of them in its own way finds this harmony, bears it in itself – but on the open palm, not hiding. And how many melodies, how many faces, and all of them are different, but all of them have eyes of the same color – pure. It is important. Personally I for some reason think that Dmytro managed to merge in his music the western mind and eastern heart – at some level where no definitions have any sense anymore. I won’t be able to explain, I am silent. He – let him play.

Dmitry Krasnoukhov. Fairy Peace. (Magic World)

Recently, Dmytro Krasnouhov has released two new discs at once – "Magic World" is one of them. And this is really a magic world of transparent simplicity, some almost childish ability to notice small secrets inside of every ordinary day – the ability to see bright adventures where hustling people see names only.

Dmitry Krasnoukhov. Birth of Angel.

...synthesized sounding performs the role of the background, adds colors, hint at the mood. No more. Here – all the same, piano melodies form the basis, and development of each piece, each theme takes place exactly following the logic of piano playing. Thus – it is pleasant to admit – these are again the melodies that are surprisingly soft, transparent, tender.
