It was the time when he cherished the idea of Luchaferul ballet.
He wrote music to some scenes, but put this work aside for a while.
"I started composing the ballet as early as 1973. But when it came
to the musical image of Luchaferul, the work stumbled. As it turned out, I was
simply not ready for it. I could not portray that personage by means of music,
and though the beginning was rather successful, I had to stop. Ten more years
passed in writing songs, film music, a lot of other things, and it was only
when I started composing music for the children videofflm This Fantastic
World that I felt the closeness of this make-belief world to that eternal,
alluring world of the sky, where the star-boy had lived. But there should have
been an additional impulse for music to appear...
Luchaferul, a well-known poem by the great Moldavian poet Mikhail Eminescu, has not
been used either by theatre or cinema for quite a long time because of its
boundlessness of thought and complexity. Philosophy and lyrics, a parable and
real facts, a multitude of themes interwoven with one another into a single
plot — all these comprise the body of the poem. Emi-nescu's personal ideas and
emotions expressed in it are so human in their nature, that they have become
eternal and universal.
