| On April 15th the series ‘World Music with Aydar Gaynullin’ came to an end with an enchanting concert in Moscow’s ‘House of Music’, consisting of some of the most popular cinema and theater music from different countries. The French charm and pressing simplicity of the music of Yann Tiersen became very well known after the creation of the soundtrack for the film ‘Amélie’. Following the original melodies of American composer James Horner, the composer of the well-known theme from ‘Titanic’, Aydar Gaynullin's arrangements added new shades to a selection of Russian classics by D. Shostakovich and A. Shnitke. As usual, a part of the concert program was devoted to the tango – the genre which has become one of the keys in Gaynullin‘s performing career. Very successfully, he combined the timeless music of Astor Piazzolla and his protégé Richard Galliano, the French accordion player nicknamed ‘The sacred monster of jazz’, with the works of Carlos Gardela, the well-known singer, composer and actor. In the homeland of the tango – in Latin America – until now Gardela is esteemed to be the most outstanding figure in the history of this dance, and one of his most well-known songs ‘Por Una Cabeza’, created in 1935, became a classical soundtrack in several films. In the film ‘Scent of a Woman’ Al Pacino dances a tango with Gabriel Anvar to this melody. These 3 minutes are rated as one of the highlights of the film. In ‘True Lies’, the same tango is danced by Arnold Schwarzenegger. Together with Aydar Gaynullin, Pavel Novikov, performing on the Indian flute called ‘bansuri’, the ensemble ‘Euphoria’ took part in the concert program.
