Bukovina Songs

In the new episode of Radio Eshkolot podcast musical critic Alexey Munipov introduces "Bukovina songs" by contemporary composer Leonid Desyatnikov, performed by pianist Pavel Dombrovsky. Inspired by Bukovina – a very unusual "contact zone" between Ukrainian, German, Jewish, Polish and Romanian cultures – Desyatnikov's preludes reflect his childhood fascination with radio edits of Ukrainian folk songs, transfigured by echoes of Stravinsky, Chopin, Bartok, Webern, Sati and Gershwin.
