Automatic translation. Read the Russian original
On December 29, 2025, a new issue of the project “Hit Story” will be released on “Muz-TV”, dedicated to the cult composition “Three White Horses” performed by Larisa Dolina. For the first time, the hit sounded in the legendary film music “The Magician” by Konstantin Bromberg in 1982, and journalists of “Muz-TV” will learn firsthand how this song, seemingly amenable to other Soviet artists, went the way to success.
The program will reveal interesting details of the song’s creation, starting with the initial selection of 17-year-old Svetlana Stepchenko, whose interpretation was not accepted by the director, and ending with the convincing efforts of the composer Evgeny Krylatov, who invited Larisa Dolina, being 27 years old, to record the song. Despite Dolina's initial protest ("How so, Evgeny Pavlovich, all the women's songs you gave the most beautiful ..."), her huge vocal range and talent allowed her to succeed.
Heath Story will feature stars such as Igor Butman and Shura, who will share their impressions of the song and the difficulties they faced when trying to sing it. The program will also discuss the memories of the stars about the “three white horses”, as well as predictions for the Year of the Red Fire Horse. The air starts at 15:30.
