New recording label to release series of Kiev Camerata CDs

LAS VEGAS - The new recording label - Troppe Note/Cambria Recordings, the international partner of Cambria Master Recordings, with Virko Baley, producer, has recently signed an agreement with the Kiev (Kyiv) Camerata to release a series of recordings over a three-year period.

Troppe Note/Cambria, which is dedicated to releasing international repertoire with special emphasis on Ukrainian music and performers, is planning to release over 80 CDs in the coming year.

Maestro Baley believes that Troppe Note/Cambria, "in addition to releasing interesting works by neglected American and Canadian composers, will concentrate and bring to the world's attention the music and performers of a new and independent member of the world community - Ukraine."

He emphasizes that "Ukraine has a rich and varied musical history, which goes back to the 17th century. Yet it has been almost completely ignored by the record industry." According to Maestro Baley, "the label will not be a Ukrainian enclave, but Ukrainian music and Ukrainian performers will be the majority stockholder in the repertoire."

Of particular interest for the Ukrainian public will be such releases as the series "The Artistry of Oleh Krysa," "Sviatoslav Richter in Kiev," and "The Music of Boris Lyatoshynsky."

Other significant releases include:

the 2 CD set "Ludwig van Beethoven: The Other Face of the Violin Concerto," with soloist Oleh Krysa, paired with its companion piano version, with soloist Mykola Suk, Kiev Camerata, and Virko Baley, conducting;
Symphony No. 1, "Babyn Yar," by Dmytro Klebanov, with Igor Blazhkov conducting;
cellist Natalia Khoma performing the cello concertos by Haydn and works by Schubert and Schumann;
"Six Chamber Symophonies" and "Dictum" by Yevhen Stankovych, as performed by the Kiev Camarata; and
the complete cantatas of Oleh Kiva, (numbering among the soloists Nina Matvienko).

The music of Volodymyr Zubytsky, Volodymyr Runchak, Ivan Karabyts, Valentin Silvestrov, Leonid Hrabovsky, Valentin Bibik, Mykola Dyletsky (sung by the Kyiv Chamber Choir), Volodymyr Huba, Myroslav Skoryk and others has also been recorded and is in the production stage.
