Why is this disc devoted exclusively to piano music? Undoubtedly because Myroslav Skoryk is the author of not only this music. For example, he composed music to the film "Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors" directed by Serhiy Paradganov – and till recently many people knew about Ukraine only thanks to this film. It was exactly he, Myroslav Skoryk, who was the author of the opera "Moses" composed to the order of Vatican and staged on the occasion of the visit of Pope John Paul II to Ukraine. In other words, Skoryk is both a famous person and multifarious author. In particular, his piano music is included into concert repertoire of many performers – Ukrainian, as well as foreign ones. Having heard at least one or two melodies, you will at once understand why. Along with other features, this music is characterized by vanguard search and national colouring. And the main thing is that it contains a transparent easiness of that quality, which is so peculiar to he combination of a real talent and real ability of work. To crown it all, I will add that masterly performance of Roman Repka deserves individual gratitude and recognition.

Natalia Rozhko has her own expressive ways wandering along which is real pleasure for the audience. She composes deep, not flat pictures with a lot of fine and tiny details – but at that she leaves a surprisingly large space for imagination, offers a few keys for understanding and interpretation at once.

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.

When the author perceives interpretation of his/her own works as an accomplished one – it does testify to something. And Valentyn Silvestrov referred to the interpretation by the ensemble "Kyiv Soloists" exactly in those terms. From now on, you also have the opportunity to listen to this concert, to hear, feel, perceive, penetrate into it...

Vicorda Ensemble appeared not that long ago – but far not novices joined it. All the participants are young but already fully formed professionals, masters of performance. In the end, you will easily make sure of that yourself – because the pieces represented here can hardly be called simple, light, names of the composers speak for themselves.

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...

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...

Besides, the album acquires special value due to the personality of the performer – a prominent pianist of our time Maria Krushelnytska. Recorded in various periods, these performances not only make up quite a complete, though far not exhaustive "portrait" of the pianist; they have laid the foundation of the tradition of works interpretation concerted and "sanctified" (in the majority of cases) by the composers.

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.

Слухаю, затамувавши подих! =) "Мелодія" - так схожа на поцілунок! То напливе, огорне гарячою хвилею, то відступить, війне прохолодою... Слів для висловлення вражень не вистачає!:)
Безмежно дякую Митцям за чуттєву, живу, пломенисту, барвисту і могутню музику!

An enjoyable performance of music in wide-ranging idioms by a single composer. I knew nothing about Skoryk until I bought this CD, and the sheet music for some of the pieces on it, to try out on the piano myself.
"Melody" is beautiful. The partita includes beautiful melodies, jazz and blues influenced elements, and some moments of twentieth century style dissonance (reminiscent of Prokofiev or Messiaen). The whole fits together very well, under the capable fingers of Roman Repka, and the moments of dissonance are soon resolved.
The Children's pieces are tuneful and a child would enjoy playing them, though they are by no means elementary.
The Burlesque and Toccata are entirely in a twentieth-century style, and are quite demanding to listen to, but enjoyable for those who appreciate such music.
Overall a very good performance of little-known music that is well worth hearing. Those who dislike twentieth century music may prefer to listen to only a selection of tracks.

This is a very interesting recording. By combining classical and regional themes with jazz phrasing Skoryk manages to evoke the best aspects of all three.
Whether exploring the complexities of an operatic theme as in the "Paraphrase on the Themes from Puccini's Opera ‘Madam Butterfly’ or swinging through up-tempo celebrations of folk tunes like the selections from "The Children's Album" these pieces are consistently musical and involving.
Skoryk's highly original and engaging compositions, Repka's masterful pianism, and the fine sound quality produced by excellent engineering all combine to make this a CD that rewards repeated listening. Highly recommended!

"Melody" is best known opus of Skoryk, so if you buy CD just for that one you will have your money well spent. It is like ukrainian ''bolero" - you can listen it over and over again.
"Children's album " is very interesting as well.Very simple melodies very contemporary and something new to ear.
Totaly agree with Umka that Skoryk's style "characterized by vanguard search and national colouring"
And in addition Repka is true piano virtuoso.
I highly recommend this CD

Це надзвичайна музика і дуже приємно, що автором цих шедеврів є наш земляк- уродженець України. А Роман Репка майстерно виконав їх. Я горда за цих людей.
