Albums:

Myroslav Skoryk, Iryna Starodub, Bohdana Pivnenko. Violin – Piano Masterpieces.

...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..

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..."
