A unique genre - audio fairy tales from the Melodiya studio - has quietly become a thing of the past. These are not just fairy tales read in different voices - these are independent works, with a script written for them, music and impeccable casting. Many of these records were true masterpieces, even in some ways superior to the original source. For example, the rather complex and confusing "Alice in Wonderland" turned into an elegant musical fairy tale with wonderful songs. Listen everyone - Wow! Hey hey! - me, a parrot, a pirate of the seas! In particular, Alice, it seems to me, generally appeared only so that later on her basis new works, artistic or applied, would be born.
Did you have the album “Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves” as a child? If you haven’t, listen to it now, you won’t regret it, I promise! Ali-baba is Tabakov, Zeinab is the sweet-voiced Tatyana Nikitina, the chieftain of the robbers is Dzhigarkhanyan. They all speak with a slight oriental accent, sing hit songs and utter oriental wisdom. You will then sing the songs with your whole family, they will sink into your soul! Persia, Persia, fruit paradise...
“The Golden Key”, “Nils’s Journey with Wild Geese”, “Old Man Hottabych”, “Dwarf Nose” are also favorites. Now we listen to these fairy tales in the car and, so as not to waste time, while eating. Some people find it more fun to devour soup, while others remember how the needle touches the surface of the record, a characteristic crackling sound is heard, and a fairy tale begins...
