Ukrainian Folk Music

Ukrainian Folk Music is one of my favorite Ukrainian CDs in my collection. Some of the songs with female vocalists are heart-achingly beautiful in their melodies. Ave Maria stands out in this regard, as does U Zeleny Polonyni. There are other songs which are full of light and humor, which get your toes tapping and your spirit bouncing along with them. Hutsule gets you dancing!

Some songs on here inspiring and soothing, like Oi Satsvela. In fact, I love every song on this CD. Sometimes you get CDs where you enjoy some songs and skip over others - but for me, each song is great to listen to for its own individual reasons.

You don't have to understand Ukrainian at all to enjoy this music. Just listening to the music and the intricate harmonies is like appreciatig fine classical music.

The production quality on this set is exceptional. I have other CDs that sound scratchy because of the recording environment, but here the voices soar and the instruments come through crisp and clear.

Highly recommended!
