Archäologie (CDLXXIII): Mikael Tariverdiev 'Lost in Music' + До свиания мальчики! (Goodbye, Boys)
View on YouTube
In 2011, Stephen Coates of the band The Real Tuesday Weld found himself sheltering from the cold in a cafe in Moscow with a friend. Fascinated by the music that was playing, he asked the waitress and was told ‘it was something from the old times'. It turned out to be the soundtrack for the Mikhail Kalik's cult Soviet film 'Goodbye Boys' (1964)* composed by Mikael Tariverdiev.
Compiled by his wife Vera Tariverdieva together with Stephen (in association with his publishing company Antique Beat), ‘Film Music’ includes a selection of the composer’s greatest tracks, including many previously unreleased versions. All were made with new transfers from original tapes and his own reel-to-reel machine. They are thematically programmed around Vera’s intimate knowledge of her husband’s music. It is with her blessing and dedication to see his legacy live on that we are able to bring his music to new audiences.
‘Film Music’ unveils the extraordinary life of an unusual composer who was acutely aware of the political environment although it was not central to his work. The 3LP boxset is beautifully packaged within hard outer slipcase and comes with a 24 page booklet bursting with unseen documents and materials from the Tariverdiev home. The rare photographs come from Mikael’s personal collection including stills from the film sets he was working on, his and Vera’s apartment and images of his studio images.

In der Retrokolumne der Süddeutschen Zeitung resümmiert Thomas Bärnthaler heute seine Rezension: Dass er heute nicht in einem Atemzug mit Ennio Morricone oder Henri Mancini genannt wird, ist eine Gemeinheit der Geschichte, was diese Box hoffentlich etwas gerade rücken wird.
*Mikhail Kalik - До свидания, мальчики (Goodbye, Boys) (1964/66)
Set in the late 1930s, Goodbye, Boys! (1964) is a story of three teenage friends. In the lazy summer days they roam the streets of a small Russian seaside town as their youth slips away and World War II looms. The boys, one of whom is Jewish, optimistically look forward to their military careers, getting away from overprotective parents, and becoming heroes. However, in the course of the film, it becomes clear that these inexperienced idealists will be sent off to the front lines, where they will encounter horror and tragedy. To tell this story, the filmmaker, Mikhail Kalik, used excerpts from other films, mainly documentary footage, which function as flash-forwards to the war and the Holocaust. The excerpt shown here includes the final scenes of the film: the boys’ departure for the military academy, intercut with a flash-forward to the future war.
