“Daria Karanowycz combines authentic musical training with true musical talent...her playing was richly sonorous and represented elements of so phistication.” New York Herald Tribune, 19.V.1952 “...Her playing has all the marks of an aristocratic European culture. Having a perfected technical apparatus allows her to perform compositions of diverse character and genres; she is attracted to those with interpretive depth and range, aspiring to reveal some new facet of a work...” Svoboda. 18.1.1961 “V. Barvinsky’s ‘Ukrainian Suite’ is technically demanding, interesting and difficult to perform. Playing it, the pianist proved herself a true artist.” Homin Ukrainy. 3.V.1964 All of these reviews indicate the high level of suc cess attained by Daria Karanowycz. Her musical profile is not only a personal record, but a source of pride for Ukrainians. Following her performance in Dickinson State College, (N. Dakota), Dr. Frank Pearson wrote in his review, that “although Ukrainian compositions are generally unknown to the American public, their value and artistic merit were highlighted in the most favorable manner at this concert. All of them were performed with sensitivity and expertise by Daria Karanowycz. The four Preludes by L. Revutsky revealed to us works of a post romantic style, which are worthy of appearing on more concert programs in this country.” In 1982 Daria Karanowycz appeared in an encyclo pedic work about concert pianists, testifying thus to her international status as a musical artist. ( The Piano in Concert, compiled and annotated by George Kehler.) The readers of “Our Life” as well as the entire Ukrainian community are grateful to D. Karanowycz for her contribution to Ukrainian culture and arts in general. We congratulate her on her anniversary and wish her continued success and happiness. Translated from Ukrainian >4 LVIV CONCERT COME TO THE WEST! A concert held on January 30, 1988 at the Lviv Opera House has been videotaped and is now available on VHF video-cassette through the Washington Group, an association of Ukrainian/American professionals. The concert was held in honor of Taras Shevchenko, to benefit the construction of a Shevchenko monument in Lviv. The concert is a two hour, thirty-five minute review of Ukraine’s top artists. Among them are the Sisters Bayko, heard on many “Melodia” label albums, the “Dydaryk” boy’s choir, folk singer Nina Matvienko, and many others. The performances are very patriotic and there is an obvious absence of Russian or politically inspired selections. Closing comments after the musical portion of the show are delivered by Rostislaw Bartun and Boris Olijnyk, two defenders of the Ukrainian lan guage, history and culture in Ukraine today. Technically the videotape is of rather poor quality. The contents, however, are inspirational and very mov ing. The majesty of the Lviv Opera House is thrilling and the performances are top notch. An added incentive to the appreciation of this tape is that the proceeds from its sale will be donated to support the building of the Shevchenko monument in Lviv. The videotape of the Taras Shevchenko benefit concert may be ordered by sending $27.50 (which cov ers postage and handling) to: The Washington Group Shevchenko Benefit Concert P. O. Box 11248 Washington, D.C. 20008 New Year’s Resolution! “May I be no man’s enemy, and may I be the friend of that which is eternal and abides... May I never devise evil against any man; if any devise evil against me, may I escape... without the need of hurting him. May I love, seek and attain only that which is good. May I wish for all men’s happiness and envy none... When I have done or said what is wrong, may I never wait for the rebuke of others, but always rebuke myself until I make amends... May I win no victory that harms either me or my oppo nent... May I reconcile friends who are wroth with one another. May I, to the extent of my power, give all need ful help., to all who are in want. May I never fail a friend in danger... May I respect myself... May I always keep tame that which rages within me... May I never discuss who is wicked and what wicked things he has done, but know all good men and follow in their footsteps.” (Eusebious was a Greek philosopher who lived over 2,000 years ago. The above are his words, though ancient they may be, their message is as new as today’s sunrise. This bit of wisdom is the find and contribution of Mrs. Mary Dushnyk, Branch 72, New York.) _____________________ -* ДЯКУЮ ЗА СПІВПРАЦЮ УСІМ ПРАЦІВНИКАМ КО М П Ю ТО П РІН Т І БАЖАЮ ВЕСЕЛИХ СВЯТ І ЩАСЛИВОГО НОВОГО РОКУ ^ УЛЯНА ЛЮ БО ВИЧ * НАШЕ Ж ИТТЯ”, ГРУДЕНЬ 1988 27
