August 15 to the famous composer, author of music for 132 films, People's Artist of the RSFSR Mikael Tariverdiev would have turned 86 years old, but he has been dead for 21 years. National love and popularity brought him songs written for the films "Seventeen Moments of Spring" and "Irony of Fate", but few people know that his connection with cinema was not limited to writing music. The idea of the film "Station for Two" was suggested to Eldar Ryazanov by a dramatic story that happened once in Tariverdiev's life.
Mikael Tariverdieva's musical talent manifested itself in early childhood. At the age of 8 he was already the author of several piano pieces, at the age of 10 he wrote a symphony, and at 16 - two one-act ballets staged at the Tbilisi Opera House. In cinema, Tariverdiev made his debut while still a student at Gnesinka, writing music for the films Man Overboard and The Youth of Our Fathers. At the same time, he made his debut in the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory, where his romances were performed by Zara Dolukhanova.
For the music to the film "The Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath!" Mikael Tariverdiev received the State Prize. With Eldar Ryazanov, they immediately found a common language, because both loved good poetry. The composer's wife Vera told: "".
Thanks to Tariverdiev, Ryazanov got the idea for the film "Station for Two". Few viewers guessed that the dramatic story of the character played by Oleg Basilashvili actually happened to the composer. His wife Vera later said in an interview with one of the publications: "".
Invited to the premiere of the film "Station for Two", the unsuspecting composer was shocked and offended. It seemed to him that now everyone knows his story and everyone is discussing his personal life. Lyudmila Maksakova was even more outraged, because her version of events was radically opposite: "".
Lyudmila Maksakova claimed that Tariverdiev was driving that ill-fated day, that he was drunk and rushing at high speed and knocked down a 16-year-old boy who was in a hurry for a date, and did not even stop after that. However, most of the acquaintances still adhered to Mikael's version, such as the actor Oleg Basilashvili, who played the main role in the film "Station for Two". Those who knew the composer well were convinced that he did not need to "play nobility." Friends for his success with women and chivalrous behavior called Tariverdiev "a mixture of Don Juan and Don Quixote."
Behind the scenes of Ryazanov's most popular films, there are many interesting and little-known facts: why Oleg Basilashvili refused to kiss Gurchenko, and how he learned to drive a hearse.
