"Yavir" quartet. Yavir quartet singing. Album 1.

This group has been existing for more than 40 years, but the time has not conquered it. You will understand why when you hear how tender and, at the same time, powerful these voices sound. It seems as if with their sounding they created, cultivated and raised a branchy tree. One of those, which stands somewhere on the hill or in the field – lonely, but still respective, strong, able to give shelter and coziness to more than one person, to more than one bird. The wind talks with such trees without hindrance. Such trees have deep talks with people. Not in vain they have such a name – "Yavir" ("Sycamore"). A strong tree, beautiful and high. Frankly speaking, it is difficult even to imagine that these are not already young people who sing in this group, as their voices are so clear, and so warm. Undoubtedly, the skill makes itself felt. Without accompaniment, accompanied with orchestra – in both cases they sing equally well. As everybody knows, time elapses very quickly, but it seems to pass by them.

Hetman quartet. Otaman.


"Hetman" stands out due to an extraordinarily positive mood, this quartet is able to sing so that all sad or, say, concerned reflections are washed off as if with a wave. A strong wave, we should say. It would seem that these are just four voices – but what kind of!

All in all very good. I would have preferred to have a set of recordings from a particular phase of their work, i.e. only a-capella. To me the instrumental stuff is a bit irritating (in particular: the last two songs). Also sometimes a bit too pathetic: track 10. Just wonderful: 3 and 7. Are there not any other recordings available on CD?
