Music

Soul echoing the song

(to listen, to hear and to understand...)

In the modern day and age the development of your spiritual self is essential.  The importance of creating proper conditions for honest and lively discussionи and being able to develop creativity and create art is absolutely necessary. Democratisation of social life touches upon all of the spheres of human communication. That is why culture of communication is special and it needs to be developed in people, especially in youth. We have to teach them to listen, to hear and to understand.

 Lets point out that sublime feelings have a very positing impact on our mental state. Those positive emotions, which stimulate our intellectual activity improve our communication skills. People become more attractive both inside and outside, show more creativity, become friendlier in their interactions. Chamber music of «Contabile» creates these particular emotions, and this ensemble is stil associated with Lugansk State Philharmonic Hall. Unfortunately we can no longer hear the sounds of Yuri Kolomoistev and Sergei Kharchenko's guitars there.  We can no longer hear Natalia Kolomoisteva's soprano in the Hall as well. This genre today has no room within these walls. We have to remember that guitar and song are inseparable from humans' desire to express emotions and describe feelings. All ages will appreciate this kind of art!

 A romantic song is very personal and any listener can relate to it and understand it. All those songs by Natalia Kolomoisteva, all with different tone and in all the different languages: Italian, German, Mexican, Jewish, gypsy, Russian and modern - - talk about the most sacred of all – love. It is not surprising that media acclaimed those songs as “the ones that penetrate the soul” .

 Yes, the sounds of guitar ensemble “Cantabile” are not in the Philharmonic Hall any more.  Turns out you can still hear it online. Visit the official website of “Cantabile – Lugansk”. This has their film-concert recording from Lugansk Regional Television, produced by Vira Khromushina, and you want to watch it again and again. We have seen those online pages about modern songs, but academic ones – never before. («Nasha Gazeta»», Mykola Bogorada») – «Duet of Natalia and Yuri Kolomoitsev is known not only in Lugansk and the region, but far outside. Successfully, and more than once they performed in France last year, with the program shown in the tv film.». We want to fully agree with this review and add that Natalia's soprano is amazing!

This website has other recordings of the ensemble. Numerous romances are available there. Thank God that Internet exists! Searching it one can find some much and welcome the mysterious sounds of music, performed by true talented professionals – guitar players from «Canabile». The lyrics is captivating Natalia's recognized vocals. She is an awardee of numerous prizes and literary awards.

We hope everyone will enjoy their performances, even though only online and not in the Philharmonic Hall.

Lugansk Regional Philharmonic Hall is the centre of the region’s music life.

Lugansk Regional Philharmonic Hall started its operation with an ensemble, organized in march 1943, on the basis of which, a Ukrainian Folk Ensemble of Songs and Dance was created under the direction of M.
