Correction

In my review of the October 6 Ukrainian Concert at Carnegie Hall, conducted by Adrian Bryttan, there were two factual errors which I wish to correct at this time. The errors were pointed out by Maria Sokil-Rudnytsky.

I stated that the aria from the late Antin Rudnytsky's opera "Dovbush" was orchestrated by the composer himself. This is not true; the Rudnytsky did not orchestrate his aria as performed that day. I merely assumed so, since the concert program notes failed to note the orchestrator.

On the other hand, Mykola Lysenko's cantata "The Rapids Roar" performed also at the concert, featured an orchestral arrangement by Antin Rudnytsky (who often performed the work). This should be reaffirmed as there are several orchestrations extant of this particular score.
