At the heart of this mix lies the authentic Ukrainian folk polyphony, painstakingly researched and astonishingly performed by the Drevo ensemble. I put it into the broader European context, complementing it with unconventionally raw Early Music recordings by Graindelavoix and Ensemble Organum, as well as some helpful bridging-the-gap digressions, like traditional Sardinian polyphonic singing by Tenores de Oniferi, eastern orthodox hymns brought to life by the Kyiv Chamber Choir and recent renditions of the Ukrainian baroque partes-songs by the Partes Ensemble.
