This CD production focuses on the Ukrainian composer Vasyl Barvinsky, whose six selected songs are surrounded by the well-known masterpieces of Richard Wagner and Richard Strauss to form a meaningful collaboration.

In 1948, the composer, who was then teaching as a professor at the conservatory in Lvov (now Lviv/Ukraine), was arrested, and his works were subsequently banned and largely destroyed. After that, he and his work fell into oblivion.

It is with the hope of recalling and preserving this important artist, that a selection of his work has been recorded for this CD production.
