-S 'ГІЙМИІ Ukrainian piano music on records CONCLUSION

Stereo technique, employed as far back as the 1930s by conductor Leopold Stokowski and film pioneer Walt Disney, was introduced for mass Ame– rican record consumption in 1958. We had to wait, however, until 1981 to hear Ukrainian keyboard creativity in stereo as recorded in the West. in the meantime Roman Rudnytsky, Thomas Hrynkiw and Lydia Artymiw became the first Ukrainian pianists to record music of the West in stereo (including the latest computerized digital techniques) on various labels of Europe and An' :rica.

OCTOBER 16.1983 9 A magnificent moment: the Ukrainian Pavilion at Chicago's World's Fair

by Dr. Myron B. Kuropas

Chicago's "Century of Progress" World's Fair opened on May 27, 1933, the year Prohibition ended and the city's Czech-American mayor, Anton Cermak, was killed trying to protect ,ЗДГ^ Franklin Delano Roosevelt, America's newly elected president, from an as– sassin's bullet in Miami. For Depression-weary Chicagoans, the World's Fair was a badly needed щ shot in the economic arm. Hotels were Й; soon jammed with people sleeping five or more to a room. Legitimate theaters opened to standing-room-only crowds. Restaurants and night clubs, barely surviving at the beginning of the year, were suddenly awash with happy revelers eager to party after years of enforced restraint. Among the 12,000 exhibits housed in 85 separate pavilions were such marvels of the time as electric refrigeration, shatterproof glass, wireless telephones, television and the Burlington Zephyr, the first of the aluminum railroad car "Streamliners" which went into service soon after the fair ended.
