Recalling favourite compositions performed by Tatyana Antsiferova

Her lyric-dramatic soprano touched the hearts of both ordinary Soviet citizens and experienced critics. Tatiana Antsiferova - is one of the nation's favourite female performers. She has lent her delightful voice to many popular and even significant for the whole country, as well as a number of film songs.

Antsiferova worked with some of the leading composers She had been through a lot, not without "creative slaps", as they say in bohemian circles. She went through a lot, not without "creative slaps", as they say in bohemian circles. She underwent surgery, learnt the delights of motherhood... At one time she planned to leave the country in the USBut due to the serious condition of his spouse Vladimir Belousov, who unfortunately is no longer with us, the plans had to be forgotten.

In a word, Tatyana Vladimirovna lived a difficult, but colourful and rich life. Today, the woman has passed the age of seventh decade - in July 2022, she will be 68 years old! But the public remembered her young, beautiful... And talented, of course. Below we have tried to collect the most significant, delightful and favourite songs performed by Antsiferova - the voice pearl of Russian cinema and pop music!

"Looking for you."

"Looking for you." - one of my favourites film songs in our country! This composition was played in the popular film "31 June."starring the young and incredibly beautiful. Natalia Trubnikova! And here are all the vocal parts of Princess Melicenta belong to Antsiferova. Alexander Zatsepin decided to give the young singer his creations, and he did not miss a beat: Tatiana did a great job with the songs! Thus, within the framework of "31 June" Antsiferova's voice for the first time played on the big screen.

"The fact that Zatsepin's music and my voice complemented each other so well is a real miracle!"

But soon Tatyana Vladimirovna receives her first "creative slap". After her success with "June 31", the singer performed several songs for the film "Recognise me.". Soon "Melody." publishes two discs with songs for films, where Antsiferova's voice is heard everywhere except for "Looking for You". It was decided to re-record this composition with vocals Xenia Georgiadi - For some reason, the art council did not approve the original version... Here the opinions of the firm and the people differed.

"A world without a loved one."

As we have emphasised above, "A world without a loved one." was heard in "31 June". It is worth adding that this work became one of the most significant for both director Leonid Kvinikhidze and composer Alexander Zatsepin.

However, this cinematic masterpiece turned out to be not only a success, but also a scandals. So, after the premiere, the film literally "dusted on the shelf." 7 years! It's all because Alexander Godunov asked for political asylum in the States. And Antsiferova's "The World Without a Favourite" was banned from singing at all! All because of the harsh criticism of the theatre director Yuri Lyubimov about the development of cultural policy in the USSR. He went to the West, and as an argument in the Hudsovet they said:

"How can we authorise this song? After all, they will think that we regret that Lyubimov stayed in the West!"

"Recognise me."

A gorgeous composition of of the film of the same namewhich, in fact, we've already mentioned.

"Goodbye, Moscow."

Another great song, and another scandal. "Goodbye, Moscow." - a composition that truly means a lot to our country! It was to this song that the Soviet people watched as the end of the 1980 Olympics... A timeless classic was performed Lev Leshchenko и Tatiana Antsiferova. By the way: Tatyana Vladimirovna was chosen from a list of worthy competitors - the brilliant singers Valentina Tolkunova and Lyudmila Senchina! And initially it was even planned that Antsiferova would perform this soulful schlager solo.

Antsiferova did not receive a penny for this song! It was believed that singing "Goodbye, Moscow" for Tatiana was great honour. And for this reason the singer rejected this composition - did not perform it until 2011! But for this special edition. "Heritage of the Republic."dedicated to Pakhmutova's work, made an exception.

"Summer Without You."

This composition was born in the famous Olympic summer. She is generally regarded as one of the best in Antsiferova's repertoire.

Tatyana Vladimirovna's voice unique and marvellous! And we think that today's selection of timeless works has proved it once again.
