Russian Music


Tovarich! I would like to know about the Russian music in the "In Like Flint" film. What is the Russian theme used in "Odin, Dva, Tri, Kick?. I heard it on a "London" label album ages ago, where it was simply titled, "Russia". And what ballet is the "Ballet Music" from?

reply

The piece is called "Meadowlands". It is a well known folk melody in Russia.
There is also a brief quote from the ballet "Swan Lake".

the ballet music is original score by Jerry Goldsith

Yes, that's it. I especially enjoy hearing it sung by the Red Army Chorus. Thanks.

Regretfully, I was unable to include Russian text wirh bouncing red star in this reply.

Michael Palin sang it with the Russian Army Chorus in one of his travel series. He was dressed in the Uniform and it was an item on his bucket list.

Waiting for him to do another travel show.
