We recall the best musical numbers of Nikolai Karachentsov, the legendary Soviet artiste
Содержание
The name of this truly great man will forever remain an important page in the history of Soviet art. Nikolai Petrovich Karachentsov was an outstanding artist: he not only starred in films, but also participated in theatre productions and even in foreign films (it was Karachentsov who gave his voice to the heroes of the Jean-Paul Belmondo). "Juno and Avos," "White Dews," "The Eldest Son." - films starring Nikolai Petrovich have become golden classics of Russian cinema. He was adored and continues to be adored by millions of people, however... a car accident forced this man to leave his career. Unfortunately, in October 2018 years Karachentsov did not live up to his 74th birthday. Many viewers remember Nikolai Petrovich as an outstanding actor, but he was also an excellent singer of songs. His rich repertoire is rich and varied, and we have tried to highlight the most famous and delightful of his songs.
"Maple Leaf."
A film from 1984 "A small favour." is familiar to many people. This is a very profound film starring such iconic artists of the USSR as Liya Akhedzhakova, Tatiana Dogileva, Lyudmila Porgina. It was in this film that the legendary schlager "Maple Leaf" (music by Maxim Dunayevsky, lyrics by Leonid Derbenev) was heard.
Karachentsov himself played the role of a pop singer, who sharply reflected on the transience of human life.
"I'll never forget you."
One of the most famous songs in the repertoire. Nikolai Karachentsov. This is undoubtedly a hit for the ages.
The execution is brilliant, there's nothing to add. You can't do that again. No one can re-sing this hit, and there's no need. It's immortal.
"What can I get you?"
Probably there is no such person among domestic fans who has not heard this legendary song. "What can I get you?" - duet with Irina Uvarovawhich was deeply engraved in the hearts of the listeners.
The stunning music is a credit to Roman Mayorov. The lyrics were written Sergey Alikhanov and Alexander Zhigarev.
"Autumn."
Another beautiful song performed by Nikolai Karachentsov, dedicated to the most melancholic and romantic time of the year.
"I believe our warmth
Will bring back the days of September..."
Stunning romantic lines are a credit to you. Nauma Oleva.
"Minutes of Silence."
A beautiful composition from the film "Battalions ask for fire.". The song was also included in Nikolai Karachentsov's album "What Can I Give You?"
"How young we were."
It's a timeless classic. The song is well known to everyone - from small to great! "How Young We Were" sounds like a hymn that does not let the fire in people's hearts go out.

Music Alexandra Pakhmutova, words Nikolai Dobronravov. It's a sumptuous work, and Karachentsov's performance brought it to life.
"Prayer."
"I called out for you, but you were busy doing something,
When I cried bitter tears
Of my mother who went to you
From this bitter life of madness..."
A very touching and sad work that evokes strange feelings. There is a lot to think about here.
"Ricardo's Serenade."
Film "Dog in the hay." hardly needs an introduction. In this 1978 film, Nikolai Karachentsov appeared before the audience in the image of Marquesa Ricardo! That's why the song is called "Ricardo's Serenade".
Music by Gennady Gladkov, lyrics by Mikhail Donskoy. A beautiful result of the collaboration of two beautiful geniuses!
"Song of the Three Whales."
"The Song of the Three Whales" is well known to viewers from the film "The Trust That Burst". This time Karachentsov played Jeff Peters.
If you haven't watched this musical comedy yet, we recommend you do!
"White Knight's Song."
A song from a legendary cartoon. "Alice in the Looking Glass.". A mesmerising voice Nikolai Karachentsov it's impossible not to recognise. Listen, enjoy and be nostalgic.
"Lady Hamilton."
One of the most famous musical numbers Karachentsova! And what a video sequence... We suggest you enjoy it together.

"White Dews." - a gorgeous Soviet film in which Karachentsov played Vasily.

"Urry's Song."
And this song is from the cult film "The Adventures of Electronica."!
In this film Nikolai Petrovich played Urry - the best gangster gang, led by the insidious criminal mastermind Stump. The film is definitely worth watching!
"The essence of a gentleman."
Another song from the film "The trust that burst."which is a duet between Karachentsov and Pavel Smeyan.
"Mackey Knife Song."
And rounding out our list is a great song from the film "One for All."! "Mackey Knife Song" is truly a masterpiece.
