St. Michael's Golden-Domed Monastery, with fresco, Kyiv
Seventeenth-century Ukraine was witness to the start of a cultural revolution, with the Ukrainian Eastern Orthodox Church playing an important role. Ensemble Ældmusic brings us religious anthems by Dyletsky, Slavynetskyi, Tuptalo, as well as anonymous works from Ukraine’s rich folk tradition.
Tonight’s program was recorded before a studio audience in Radio Latvia, Riga. Thanks to WFMT’s association with the European Broadcasting Union, we’re able to bring you this program as a stream for thirty days following the broadcast. The appearance of a blue “Listen” button indicates the stream is accessible.
