It says that when the legendary composer Enio Morricone heard one of the wonderful pieces by the composer Alexander Zatsepin, he said: “His music is better, but mine is more expensive!” Fortunately, the value of music is measured not by monetary signs, but by the number of listeners who are in love with it. And in this sense, Alexander Zatsepin is not far behind Enio Morricone, and maybe even ahead of him.
The National Academic Folk Orchestra of Belarus named after I.Zhinovich under the leadership of the People’s Artist of Belarus, Professor Mikhail Kozinets, has prepared a concert program “This world was not invented by us”, dedicated to the 95th anniversary of the famous composer, People’s Artist of Russia, author of more than three hundred legendary songs that time has no power over, music that you want to listen and listen to – Alexander Zatsepin.
