It Was About 25 Years Ago.....

That Soviet firm Melodiya produced Alexey Rybnykov's greatest masterpiece Rock Opera Juno And Avost--a Russian Orthodox Melodic Intoxication, songs which became prayers. It suddenly dawned on me again today. Paris in 1988 packed its best venues demanding more and more and The Theater Of Lenisnky Komsomol performed week after week for adoring sold out Paris crowds. Today, quarter century later--it seems that this anthem (a closing theme of rock-opera) to lovers, man and a woman, suddenly is as relevant as ever. Hallelujah to beloved couple............Hallelujah to love......Hallelujah to all future children....we will respond with smile to the hatred........
