"Kyrylo Stetsenko – a composer of the highest order and talent, Kyrylo Stetsenko dedicated himself wholeheartedly to Ukrainian culture. In his short life he contributed impressive musical works, imbued with a personal spirituality, which live on even to this day. Stetsenko belongs to a pleiad of notable Ukrainian artists at the beginning of the XX century. Almost contemporaneous was the appearance in the musical life in Ukraine of: O. Koshyts', M. Leontovych, S. Lyudkevych and Y. Yatsynevych. This was a veritable assembly of great talents, which, having developed the creative traditions of Mykola Lysenko, raised the achievements of Ukrainian music to a high degree..." L. Parhomenko, Doctor of Arts, professor"The creative output of that composer (Stetsenko) – I love immensely. His most important work is, in my opinion, his Requiem (Memorial Service), which I heard conducted by the author himself in Kyiv. It is full of the poetry of our memorial services for the dead, suggesting bowed wooden crosses and tender cherry trees, which surround graves, as children would the casket of a deceased sadly and quietly holding simple field flowers, looking with naive little eyes on the mysterious and unnecessary sadness of the gathered people... That Requiem one would like to sing like a song, so much does it contain of native humanity..." O. Koshyts'
(information from the CD polygraphy) The edition contains a 16-page booklet with a detailed article by L. Parhomenko and information about the choir. The texts are in Ukrainian, English.

This CD represents 11 choral works which undoubtedly could be called the masterpieces of the Ukrainian choral baroque. The sacred music of so-called baroque-period is the highest achievement of Ukrainian musical heritage which reflects revival of creative forces of the Ukrainian people at the latter half of the 17th century and the early 18th century.

Berezovsky and Vedel. Two identically unattainable high peaks. One of the most prominent composers of the 18th century, whose name is written in golden letters in the history of music, and the ascetic singer of prayers, whose name warms with its golden radiance orthodox cathedrals all over the earth...

It seems to me that these voices are quite able to fill music they perform with spirituality regardless of what style it belongs to – at least, if only they preserve the manner characteristic of the choir. Because, in the end, behind the great beauty there stands no less great internal force, which it is easy to feel.

For all those who have no need for audio discs but do have the need for sacred music that sounds at home, not in a church – this disc will become just a wonderful acquisition.

Singing of Lavra monks attracts even people far from orthodoxy – they come to listen to it because real beauty never tolerates limitations. The four albums represented on this disc (the fifth one is rather a collection, though not less beautiful) – are only a small part, certainly. Nevertheless, they are, probably, among the best ones – however, make sure yourself.

Within almost ten years of its existence, the repertoire of this choir has become so big and diverse, that, as connoisseurs claim, it is difficult to restrict it with certain frames. Not only academic, but also modern performance turned out to be easy for them.
