About

The first album of Postcards from Ukraine gave a potted history of Ukrainian music in the form of a series of miniatures for piano and violin, and the second presented four outstanding chamber works by important Ukrainian composers. This third instalment brings six new arrangements of Ukrainian folksongs, for violin and piano, by Markiyan Melnychenko, integrating them into a programme of folksong and -dance arrangements by some of his best-known virtuoso predecessors.

‘The first volume in this series offered violin miniatures and this second presents a chamber music perspective on Ukrainian music and thus longer, more involved pieces from a quartet of significant composers, from Vasyl Barvinsky (b.1888) to Yevhen Stankovych (b.1942), still alive at the time of writing… The performers, led by Markiyan Melnychenko, play with sensitivity and have been well recorded. I’m looking forward to volume 3.’ – Jonathan Woolf, MusicWeb International (Vol.2: TOCN0043)
