"The
mystery of the soul, of love; the enigmatic birth of music...
All
these are best desribed by just one Ukrainian word "TAINA".
Таїна
людської душі, вічна таїна кохання, божественна таїна народження музики...
Так
назвала свій компакт диск Оксана Герасименко, талановита українська бандуристка
і композитор.

This is the first CD of Oksana
Herasymenko - talented Ukrainian bandurist-composer featured choice instrumental
works of various periods.
Originating in many countries, where Oksana toured, the
pieces often came to life impulsively, recreating a memoir or happening
in the life of the composer. Wonderful images - "Blue Sky Melody", "Sun's
Ray", "Autumn Dreams", "Rain Fantasy" - open up a curious world, painted
with colors of music. With light, impressionistic touches the images charm
with finds of timbre and strains of finesse. The music of these and other
pieces seems enveloped by some mystery, secreted deep in the soul of its
author, who confides only in her bandura. And the unusual combination of
bandura, flute, cello and string quartet rather successfully transmits
the dreamy mood of Ok. Herasymenko's music. Such combinations are like
new pages in the repertoire of the old Ukrainian folk instrument.
So listen in. Listen closely to Oksana Herasymenko's
music... and the feeling of peace, of lasting beauty, and the sense of
participating in a great mustery of art will never leave you... |
