5.0 out of 5 stars Music From the Ukraine - soothing, meditative and cool!, June 12, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Music From the Ukraine (Audio CD)

Italian Guitarist, Flavio Cucchi is well-known in Europe for his guitar interpretations. He was born in Florence, and his wife Marta, who is an artist, does many of his CD jacket designs, although the CD title improperly says "the Ukraine" rather than "Ukraine", the difference being that "the Ukraine" refers to a province of Russia and the former Soviet Union and "Ukraine" signifies the inependent and free Ukraine and its cultural renaissance. Some of the praises about Mr. Cucchi: "One of the best guitarists in Europe" (CD Classica) "...he is a musician of the highest order.He has an incredible facility for speed..he can also provide moments of intense, slow beauty and a passion.."(Classical Guitar) "Flavio Cucchi, certainly one of the most brilliant interpreters in the panorama of the guitar in the last years" (Strumenti e Musica) "An extremely complete musician" (les cahiers de la guitare) "A true virtuoso" (Ham & High)

The review published above apparently is of an entirely different disc having a similar title. The description it contains has nothing to do with the excellent Ukrainian folk ensemble Veseli Muzyky, which performs a very lively selection of Ukrainian folk songs and dances in very good sound. The disc has been re-issued under the title "From Kiev to the Black Sea", with a corrected reference to "Ukraine" rather than "the" Ukraine. This is available from Amazon and sellers as From Kiev to the Black Sea at very reasonable cost and is highly recommended.
