Berezovsky: Ukraninian Sacred Music, Vol. 1

Chamber Choir of the Ukrainian Music Vidrogennia; Yurchenko, Mstislav

Maksym Berezovsky was one of the most outstanding Ukrainian composers of the 18th century and the creator of the national classical choral concerto. It was the first time a Ukrainian composer had incorporated in his compositions all the leading genres of Western European music: operas, chamber instrumental works and new church choral forms. The chamber choir “Vidrodzhennya” (Revival) first appeared before audiences in 1985 with a programme of newly discovered works by the Ukrainian composer Maksym Berezovsky. By 1988 the choir was regularly acquainting the Ukrainian music public with the ancient native classical music. The choir has united the enthusiasts of Ukrainian sacred music and Ukrainian history, taking part in many festivals, radio and television broadcasts, performing church services in Ukrainian churches and giving lecture concerts with performances based on, or partially built on unknown Ukrainian works.
