Answer by misshelenes
The movie credits list original music by Russian Sergei Yevtushenko. The film-makers have incorporated music by English composer Telemann (exact composition unknown by me), some excerpts from Russian composer Glinka’s suite “Life for the Czar” (Glinka was a contemporary of Tschaikovsky), excerpts from English composer Henry Purcell’s opera “King Arthur,” and “French Old Song” from Russian composer Tschaikovsky’s “Children’s Album” opus 39.
