The National Bandurist Chorus of Ukraine, a professional ensemble of fine men’s voices and virtuoso bandura players, performs some of the most popular Ukrainian folk songs of Kozak origin, along with Romantic ballads, in arrangements by various composers.
The bandura, Ukraine’s national folk instrument, which bears similarities to both the zither and the lute, has a characteristic ringing tone that distinguishes this recording from other recordings of Kozak repertoire. The songs, alternately spirited and lyric, will certainly pluck the heart strings of all persons of Slavic nationality as well as other lovers of soulful music.
