he much loved Russian song-smith Alexandr Malinin, who has already released twenty solo singles, will soon let loose his musical potions in Prague. Czech audiences will be able to imbibe his heart-melting cadences on 28th March in Prague theatre Hybernia. The programme is sweetly named Russian Romances.
The show will illuminate an overview spanning the many successful years of Malinin’s career. This really took off in 1987 at a rock festival in Moscow, when his strikingly unique versions of the Russian romances “Black Crow” and “Driver, don’t rush the horses” completely blew the audience away; since then he has become an international heart-throb.
Singing his songs in the streets
Another proof of his powerful musical magnetism is that people took his songs to the taverns and echoed them down the streets; his first concert programme Ball Alexandra saw an attendance of 360 000 people in 20 days.
He toured the world
Even though Malinin along with his talented accomplices tends to concentrate his spellbinding performances mainly in Moscow, he has also spread his cloak to include other Russian towns and has flown further a-field to the US, Europe and Australia. His career and work even became an inspiration for the movie Ballad of a singer, and Malinin - past and future.
In Prague, which is home to a large Russian community, the singer presented his first programme to a full house in 2003.
