Today, Platoon announces the release of Ukrainian Mixtape, featuring conductor Dalia Stasevska and the BBC Symphony Orchestra. Following the acclaimed Dalia's Mixtape, the album brings together works by Mykola Lysenko, Levko Kolodub, Borys Liatoshynsky, and Fedir Yakymenko. It will be released on July 17, coinciding with Stasevska's First Night performance at the BBC Proms with the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, and the BBC Singers.
Dalia Stasevska was born in Kyiv by chance. Her family, then living in Estonia, was visiting her father’s homeland when she was born earlier than expected. She grew up in Tampere, Finland’s second city, surrounded by stories of Ukrainian history and culture.
The motivation to create this album, my Ukrainian Mixtape, was born both from my personal history - as someone with deep roots in the country's culture, and from this current moment in history, when Ukrainian identity and heritage feels especially fragile and deeply in need of preservation. I hope this album will inspire audiences around the world to discover, celebrate, and cherish these unique voices and the cultural legacy they carry." In 2022, her awareness of the absence of Ukrainian music from concert halls and recordings reached a turning point. “It became about life and death: the survival of Ukrainian culture,” she says. “The horrific tragedy of the war has led to a cultural blossoming; this generation of Ukrainians is writing history for the future and leaving a fingerprint of what modern Ukraine is. But we also have to cherish those who didn’t have a voice, who are part of that lineage. They were forbidden and forgotten—but they existed, and they deserve to be known. -Dalia Stasevska
The music on Ukrainian Mixtape reflects different voices and generations of Ukrainian composers, each of them contributing a distinct perspective to the country’s unique cultural landscape. Brought together on this album by the Platoon label, these pieces form a powerful artistic statement, revealing that Ukrainian classical music is not defined by a single style, but by its diversity, emotional depth, and expressive strength deeply rooted in the broader European cultural tradition. Creating a recording of these rarely heard pieces offers a glimpse into the richness and individuality of Ukrainian musical storytelling.
