For which foreign hit our composer received more than $ 1 million
Music is a universal language that needs no translation. It is equally understood by people of different nationalities. Therefore, it is not surprising that many recognized world hits are based on melodies created by domestic composers.
GettyImages From Sergei Rachmaninov to Zhukov and Tsoi. "Site" Here is a list of 8 Russian and Soviet composers whose talents made our music popular all over the world.
Born a serf in the distant 1833, Alexander Borodin became an academician of the Medical and Surgical Academy, a member of the “Mighty bunch” and a co-founder of the Russian Chemical Society. But the world fame and fame he brought musical works: "Bogatyr" symphony and the epic opera "Prince Igor", on which the author worked for 18 years.
GettyImages In 1997, a fragment of this opera called “Polovets Dances” inspired American rapper Warren G and Norwegian folk singer Sessil to create the composition “Prince Igor”.

An unusual combination of rap and opera delighted listeners. The Rapsody Overture: Hip Hop Meets Classics. It was in the top 10 of most European countries and became No. 1 in Iceland and Norway.
The second concerto for piano and orchestra was written by Sergei Rachmaninoff in 1900. He is included in the repertoire of almost all the leading pianists in the world and has appeared in many films, including James Cameron’s Titanic.
In 1975, American singer and musician Eric Carmen used a Rachmaninoff tune in his popular song All By Myself. In 1996, Celine Dion performed her version of the single.

In her performance, the song became an international hit, taking first place in the charts of the United States, Great Britain, Canada and France.
Eduard Artemyev In 1978, the film “Siberiad” directed by Andrei Konchalovsky was released. The music for him was written by composer Eduard Artemyev.
In 2001, the Rostov electronic trance project PPK created the composition Resurrection (“Resurrection”) on the basis of Artemyev’s musical theme.

The track immediately hit the BBC charts, received silver status (more than 200 thousand sales) and became the most famous Russian release in the UK. Later, the rights to the hit group PPK bought the concern Warner Music Group.
In the creative baggage of Vladimir Leonardovich there are not only songs for Sofia Rotaru and Vlad Stashevsky. It is hard to believe, but one of the compositions of the author of the popularly beloved Lavender is performed by rockers Alice Cooper and Iggy Pop.
In 1988, popular music producer Desmond Child invited Matetzky to the United States to work with the Russian project Red Sky. Unfortunately, the project was unsuccessful, but some of the songs were recorded by other artists.
https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=zdW0oJOVoY
Performed by Iggy Pop, the song Love Transfusion to the music of Vladimir Matetsky gained popularity and even got into the soundtrack of the horror film Electroshock (1989).
In the 20s of the last century, Russian singer Alexander Vertinsky recorded the romance “Dear Long” by composer Boris Fomin.
GettyImages 40 years later, the English-language version of the song became the hallmark of Welsh singer Mary Hopkin.
https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=3dHKoilgIUQ
It was produced by Sir Paul McCartney. Later, the romance was performed by many domestic and foreign singers. Among them are Nani Bregvadze, Claudia Shulzhenko, Lyudmila Zykina, Eduard Gil and Edita Pieha. Since we remember Edita Stanislavovna, it will be difficult not to mention her incendiary song “Our Neighbor” (1967) to the music of Boris Potemkin.
A couple of years ago, the hit was noticed by the British band Ultrabeat (WTF!), writing dance music. The old hit of Edita Pieha quailed in the UK: shot a clip, recorded a cheerful dance arrangement. So began a new triumphal procession of the "Neighbor" around the world.
At the beginning of the zeros, the debut single of the ATC group All Around the World sounded on all dance floors of the planet. You may ask, what is the soloist of the Russian pop group “Hands Up!”.
It is difficult not to notice that the dance hit of German musicians painfully resembles the track of the group “Hands up!” "Song."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-S5PofFBXM
The reason for this striking similarity is simple. Sergey Zhukov sold the melody to ATS producers. With the money received, the musician bought an apartment in Moscow and a new car for his parents.
Destiny wanted a former white officer and brother of Hitler’s favorite actress Olga Chekhova, Lev Knipper became a People’s Artist of the RSFSR and a winner of two Stalin Prizes.
In 1934, Lev Konstantinovich wrote a symphony “Poem about a Komsomol soldier”, which included his famous song “Polyushko-Pole”.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_xiQj-AUEA
In 1969, a cover version of Lev Knipper's song was released thanks to the pioneers of psychedelic rock band Jefferson Airplane.
Once the leader of the American indie band Brazzaville David Brown heard on the Internet “Star named Sun”. Tsoi's poems seemed very beautiful to him.
Based on the original music, Brown decided to write his own song. In it, he sings about the day his mother died.
https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=7UBXEa354Rk
So appeared, perhaps, the best cover version of “Cinema” in English. As you can see, Russian composers continue to inspire performers from all over the world to create real masterpieces. And this is great, because music like nothing else unites and brings closer people from different countries.
