Russian First Channel to screen premiere film about Muslim Magomayev

The Russian First Channel will air the premiere of film "From the cradle to eternity" on October 25, devoted to the memory of world-famous singer and composer of Azerbaijan, Muslim Magomayev.

The documentary was shot by Azerbaijani filmmaker Mehdi Mammadov.

Demonstration of the premiere is expected to be a landmark event to have more than 140 million viewers. The text of the film is based on Muslim Magomayev’s memoirs, one of which narrates about the friendship between Muslim Magomayev and the genius personality Heydar Aliyev.

The first premiere of film "From the cradle to eternity" has been held by the UNS Creative Stage in Baku on November 12, 2013.

Welcomed by connoisseurs of art, the film has gained a number of positive reviews.

The art director of UNS Creative Stage, Professor Nargiz Pashayeva said: “We are used to hear the voice and performance of Muslim Magomayev. And in this movie, we also hear the voice of his soul”.

With a pure, ageless, and beautiful baritone voice, Magomayev distinguished his talent among his peers and mesmerized millions.

The 19-year old Muslim Magomayev could hardly believe then that the successful performance at the Youth Festival in Helsinki, Finland, would become the start of a long glory that accompanied him until the end of his life.

Magomayev had an incomparable voice, blending melody into his epic style that trembled any venue where he performed. Every song that he performed was a sample of high art. The singer not only had a divinely beautiful voice at every performance, but he also put a part of his soul into each song.

He accomplished the impossible in the USSR. At age 31, Muslim became the youngest art figure who was awarded with the title of USSR People's Artist. He became the first to bring classical arias and songs to the Soviet stage, and remained adored by millions for the next four decades.

His discography includes more than 45 gramophone records and 15 CDs, containing a musical repertoire of more than 600 pieces.
