专辑简介
The album is a beautiful mix of small and large ensembles, old and new melodies, recounting the history of Russia in music. The album like the film, RUSSIA LAND OF THE TSARS, has the task of representing over 1000 years of Russia's rich history. If you listen to the album from beginning to end you will feel yourself experiencing The Vikings, then the Mongols, then Ivan the Terrible, then Catherine the Great, then Peter the Great, then the revolutions, then Lenin and then Stalin, and then even the hope of what Russia will now become. The music will remind you of the great Russian Masters Glinka, Tchaikovsky, Moussorgsky and Prokofiev. Included in the album is a Russian History Outline showing where the music fits in with the historic events.
When we asked the composer, Gary Pozner, why he thought this soundtrack CD was so special he said it was how vast the music variety is on it, and how special the performances of the musicians are. We, just like the filmmakers, had to reenact the history of Russia. It wasn't an easy task, but it was truly a labor of love. We also asked Gary were the Russian influences came from, because when you look at his biography and see it mostly consists of working with fridge elements of the music scene--Lou Reed, Taking Heads, Debbie Harry,Tom Tom Club, David Byrne, Bernie Worrel, Nona Hendryx, UTFO, Mimi Goese, Peter Gabriel, he explained that all he grand parents were from Eastern Europe, and he just thought of them and channeled their spirits.
While the album is a soundtrack it definitely stands on its own. It's Tchaikovsky meets Peter Gabriel. (for a shot of vodka, of course)
