Masterpieces of Soviet Cinema

Masterpieces of Soviet Cinema brings the extraordinary voices of three profundo basses—Honored Artist of Russia Vladimir Miller, Honored Artist of the Republic of Karelia Mikhail Kruglov, and Concert Choir soloist Pavel Andreev—to the screen, accompanied by pianist Mikhail Buzin, associate professor of the St. Petersburg Conservatory. This concert film transports viewers back to the golden era of Soviet cinema, delivering timeless hits from the 1930s to the 1950s in a format that only the lowest and deepest bass voices in the world can achieve. The repertoire includes the moving “Heart” from *Merry Guys*, the heroic “Dark Night” from *Two Fighters*, the uplifting “It’s Time to Hit the Road” from *Heavenly Slow‑Moving*, the spirited “Sports March” from *Goalkeeper*, the vibrant “March of Enthusiasts” from *Bright Path*, the rousing Cossack song “Black Raven” from *Chapaev*, and “Song About Troubled Youth” from *On the Other Side*, among many other unforgettable classics. The trio’s collaboration produces an almost organ‑like sound, infusing familiar melodies with depth and a mesmerizing quality that astonishes audiences. Over 17 years, the trio has captivated listeners across Europe, performed at the Grand Kremlin Palace in 2010 with His Holiness Patriarch Kirill, released the sold‑out CD *Evening Bells*, issued DVDs such as *All Ages Are Submissive to Love* and *Song Masterpieces of Soviet Cinema*, shared the stage with the Moscow Virtuosi under Vladimir Spivakov in 2017, and featured as soloists in Alexei Rybnikov’s “Resurrection of the Dead” at the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory in 2025. Experience Soviet cinema’s golden soundtrack like never before and join the audience in soaking up the powerful, resonant, and unforgettable artistry of three extraordinary basses.
