VISIONS IN BLACK & WHITE
The latest addition to the astonishing canon of Tariverdiev releases on vinyl and CD in the West is a collection of rare jazz and improvised themes. Transferred from the original tapes and beautifully remastered, these recordings manage to retain their original ambience and capture a master at work.
Originally composed for cinema and TV movies of the 1960s and 1970s, it centres on Mikael playing at the piano and keyboard. Many of the compositions can be described as jazz, a genre whose troubled story in the Soviet Union meant they probably would not have existed outside the context of a film score. But, as Vera Tariverdieva, Mikael’s wife, tells, it is probably more in accordance with his vision to hear them in the context of his life-long love of improvisation.

OLGA SERGEEVNA
The extraordinary themes and improvisations for the Soviet TV series OLGA SERGEEVNA are released in the West for the first time on deluxe double vinyl and CD.
The original series was directed by Aleksandr Proshkin based on a story by Edvard Radzinsky and featured several film stars with the lead role of Olga played by screen siren Tatiana Doronina. The OST contains some of the composer's most startling and moving work and contains the US music academy awarded theme which brought him tantalising close to recognition in the West.

17 MOMENTS OF SPRING
The Original Soundtrack for the most popular Soviet TV series of all time 17 MOMENTS OF SPRNG is released in the West for the first time on deluxe vinyl and CD and download with additional tracks previously unavailable even in Russia.
Occasionally described as ‘The Soviet James Bond’, the series was watched by millions on its original release in the early 1970s and remains a staple of Russian Television. A modern classic of the espionage genre, it remains relatively unknown in the West.
Tariverdiev’s moving and melancholic score for the series helped catapult it into the collective conciousness of Russian musical culture where its songs and themes remain some of the best loved and most memorable of all time.
