Н. Заболоцкий, М. Романова Songs were mainly created in 1979-1984 while I've been a graduate student of Moscow University. Students in physics/astronomy departments liked to read literature and poetry. I've been so fascinated with Zabolotsky's poetry that music came by itself. In particular I like Muhambazi - translation from Grigol Orbeliani. My interview to Estonian radio is also called "Muhambazi". Children usually like "The Signs of the Zodiac" song. |
