Five hundred musicians from all over Russia took part in the Soundtrack film music festival. They performed everyone’s favorite songs from movies and cartoons to original arrangements. The final concert was held in VDNKh. Nine of the best singers took part in it – three artists from each mentor: Yegor Ship, Alexander Panayotov and the leader of the Brothers Grimm group Konstantin Burdaev.
Show business stars shared their impressions of participating in this project. “Guys who are a little younger than me have heard enough new music that I don’t really like,” admitted Yegor Ship. – I think it’s very good that thanks to this festival they could connect to wonderful songs, reconsider them – and perform in a new way. If I were to enter this contest, I would sing something from “Diamond Arm”.
Alexander Panayotov recalled how his journey on the stage began. “I first went on stage with the song “Beautiful Far Away,” explained the former protégé of Grigory Leps. “That’s why this competition is very close to me. I especially like that it takes place in such a spectacular place – at the Fountain of Friendship of Nations. In my opinion now we live in a somewhat decadent musical time. Now they don’t write such wonderful songs, but people love them. And it’s very good that they find a new life. And when evaluating the participants, I was guided by the energy message – how strongly the performance resonates in my soul.
The performer of the hit “Eyelashes” spoke positively about the participants in the final of the festival. “After talking with these young artists, I realized that many of them probably have a great future,” said Konstantin Burdaev. – They want not only to sing in their spare time, but to be musicians – to do it professionally, to make money. I explained to them that the profession of an artist is difficult. I told them what the pitfalls were.”
Young artists sang songs emotionally and in their own way, feeling good. Each participant in the final was warmly supported by relatives and friends. As a result, Nastasya Komarova won first place – her performance of the song “Beautiful Far Away” from the film “Guest from the Future” was the most liked by all the mentors. Valentina Muratidi was second and Nikita Danko was third.
All finalists were awarded – they received a contract with the international concert agency BIGBOOKING for cooperation and concert activities around the world, a contract with the music publishing house StarStoneMusic, the opportunity to produce a track and release it on all streaming services from the NCP label, participation in one of the projects of the Gorky Film Studio and Soyuzmultfilm and other prizes.
“Alexander Panayotov helped me a lot before the final,” Nastasya told the VOICE journalist after the award. He asked me not to worry. He said that it doesn’t matter how I sing, the main thing is to get high on the stage. I’m always nervous before a show, but today there was no excitement. There were a lot of strong vocalists in the final. I liked Valentina Muratidi the most, who sang “Call me, call”.
The schoolgirl is well known to many viewers. In 2020 – 2021, Komarova took part in the program of the first channel “The best of all!”. And last year she clearly showed herself in the show “Voice. Children”. The girl passed the “blind auditions” and got into Polina Gagarina’s team. After that, Moskvich won “Battles”. She completed her journey in this Channel One project at the “Song for Departure” stage. Anastasia also participates in other competitions – in the spring of 2022 won the Grand Prix II Open Festival-Competition for students of variety singing classes “Arlekino”.
