Svitlana Nianio – Transilvania Smile

Music for a theatre performance by the Ukrainian Svitlana Nianio, this could be used to shock the savage. »Transilvania« is carried entirely by piano, harmonium and Nianio’s moving falsetto. A deeply folkloric spirit gives the recordings their emotional scope, but the formal rigour still pushes »Transilvania« more in the direction of avant-garde than regional reissue.
