Kyiv Chamber Choir
 The New York Times "In its concert of sacred music on Sunday evening at Carnegie Hall, the Chamber Choir Kiev offered evidence that the revival of Ukrainian music has been proceeding apace. The choir has specialized in liturgical works, including the study and interpretation of ancient manuscripts written in long-forgotten regional forms of musical notation. Hobdych drew from it a disciplined, well-blended sound that was appealingly varied in colour and flexible when the music demanded broad dynamics". |
Maxim Berezovsky /1745-1777/ was an unusual phenomenon who influenced on the development of musical art not only in the Ukraine. It was him who opened Ukrainian music to Europe. He was born in the small Ukrainian town Glukhovo where he gained his early musical education at the famous Tsar's Music Cappella School. Later he went to Italy to study in Bologna and on 15th of May of 1771 he became
the academician of Bologna Academy of Philarmonics. Maxim Beresovsky was known as author of the first national opera and many traditional sonata-symphonic works though the main genre of his creativity was a cappella Christian praise and worship music. |
