Conducted by Yuriy Kuratch. Recorded in 2013 at St. Michael's Golden-Domed Cathedral, Kyiv, by National Radio Company of Ukraine. Biographical details on the artist L. Revutsky Academic Male Capella. Conductor – Volodymyr Kuratch / Official site: http://revutsky.at.ua// In old times church choirs in Ukraine consisted of men and boys only. As a result there was created a great number of church choir music for male voices. Therefore it became necessary to found a male choir capella which could preserve and develop longstanding traditions. L.Revutsky Academic Male Capella was established in 1969. Primarily its name was “Kyivan male choir capella”. In different time periods the Capella was conducted by such famous conductors as Semen Dorohyi, Yevhen Savchuk, Yuriy Kuratch. For the longest period, from 1984 to 2009, the Capella worked under conduction of People’s Artist of Ukraine Zinoviy-Bohdan Antkiv. He was one of the first Ukrainian conductors who turned to Ukrainian sacred music, to liturgies by K.Stetsenko, O.Koshyts, M.Leontovych. Under his direction the Capella became first to sing on stage riflemen and rebellious songs. He determined main priorities for the Capella’s repertoire: world classic, Ukrainian folklore, cultural heritage and contemporary composers’ works. Thanks to his dynamic activity the repertoire had been renewed on a regular basis. Undeservingly neglected pages of Ukrainian choral music were performed and recorded folk songs - carols /koliadky and shchedrivky/, historical, Cossacks’, Chumaks’, riflemen, rebels’ and wedding songs - along with ancient Kyivan chants and renowned chants of Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, works by D.Bortniansky, M.Berezovsky, A.Vedel, M.Lysenko, K.Stetsenko. L.Revutsky Academic Male Capella consists of 45 highly professional musicians. It incorporates a Chamber Choir - the Boyan Ensemble, composed of 27 best Capella’s performers. The Ensemble was formed in 1989 for the touring activities. Along with there was created a Boys and Youth Chorus. The Capella is active promoter of oeuvre by modern Ukrainian composers, such as Y.Stankovych, I.Karabyts, L.Dychko, V.Zubytskyi, G.Gavrylets, O.Yakovchuk, V.Stepurko, M.Shukh, I.Nebesnyi, I.Taranenko etc. Besides Ukrainian music the Capella’s repertoire includes samples of Slavonic and Western-European sacred and classical choral music. L.Revutsky Academic Male Capella has presented concert programs at the best concert halls of Ukraine, Poland, Bulgaria, the Netherlands, Spain, France, Israel, Italy, the Great Britain and 4 Belgium. It is a regular participant of leading world festivals. Antonina Matviyenko (soloist) She is a daughter of a famous Ukrainian singer, People’s artist of Ukraine, Nina Matviyenko.
