Yevhenia Miroshnychenko, Yuriy Yatsenko's "Kapelysta Muzyka". Uljubleni ukrajins'ki melodiji. (Favourite Ukrainian melodies)

Well, ladies and gentlemen, we would like to invite you to plunge into multiplicity of Ukrainian melodies. It happened long-long ago, in the 16-th century, when musical workshops only appeared in Ukraine, that folk songs and dances made in the first place the backbone of the repertoire of all ensembles of those times. It's natural. Still, it is also natural that in the course of time there appeared more and more author's adaptations of folk melodies and their transference for performance on different instruments. And I think that nobody would deny the fact that the quality and skill of adaptation, as well as comprehension of material, directly influences a listener's interest. Due to all those facts, it is pleasant that the recordings of already recognised masters, such as Mykhailo Zavadskyi and Yuriy Yatsenko, are presented at this disc. The latter, by the way, is a famous poly-instrumentalist, thanks to whom the art of performance on a fret kobza, mandolin, banjo and similar instruments is being revived now. So, ladies and gentlemen, I repeat once more - we would like to invite you to plunge into multiplicity of Ukrainian melodies. Melodies polished by multiplicity of an author's imagination.
