UA Sound studio is recording a new interpretation of Skoryk's classic with the orchestra conducted by Volodymyr Sirenko.
The National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine, conducted by Volodymyr Sirenko, has recorded a new interpretation of Myroslav Skoryk's 'Carpathian Concerto' — the composer's most famous work. Recording took place at UA Sound studio (Kyiv, Podil) throughout March-April 2026. Release is scheduled for October 2026 on the Naxos World Series label — the first time Ukrainian classical music appears in this catalogue. The solo part is performed by Ukrainian-German violinist Yuliya Shkil — laureate of the 2019 Tchaikovsky Competition, currently a professor at the Berlin Conservatory. Shkil dedicates this recording to her father — a violinist of the Lviv Symphony Orchestra who performed Skoryk's work multiple times under the composer's direction in the 1990s. The recording includes the original 3-movement cycle plus the symphonic poem 'Carpathian Landscape' (1975), which had not previously been released internationally. The recording's audio engineer is David Jaeger (Vienna-based, known for Naxos recordings with Berliner Symphoniker and London Philharmonic). A separate bonus CD will contain an audio commentary by Oleksandr Hnatyuk on Skoryk's work and his connections to European 20th-century classics. The album presentation in Kyiv (Philharmonic) and Berlin (Philharmonie) will take place in November 2026.
