"Melody"

http://www.staroeradio.ru/audio/13033

Children's radio theater owes a lot to Rosa Ioffe, who worked as a director of artistic radio broadcasting from the 1930s to the 1960s. She formed a palette of sounds (everything had to be invented: how to convey rustling sounds, the sounds of rain and fire, hurricane and thunderstorm, car and airplane), determined the role of music in productions and gathered the best theater actors. In “Ole-Lukoya,” for example, the main roles are played by actresses Maria Babanova and Valentina Sperantova, and the atmosphere of the fairy tale is set by the music of Edvard Grieg.

Alexey Tolstoy. "The Golden Key, or the Adventures of Pinocchio"

The role is played by Nikolai Litvinov. Directed by Rosa Ioffe. 1949

"Melody"

http://www.staroeradio.ru/audio/3578

Rosa Ioffe figured out how to achieve a fabulous sound by changing the speed of voice recording on tape, and how to combine voices using tape overlays. Her famous radio show “The Golden Key, or the Adventures of Pinocchio” was played by only one actor - Nikolai Litvinov: he spoke like Karabas, Pinocchio and Papa Carlo and even sang in chorus.

Joffe's "Kashtanka" is one of the best incarnations of Chekhov's story on radio. For the staging, we managed to assemble a star cast of theater artists: the author’s text, for example, is read by Vasily Kachalov. And there is a separate post about how Rosa Ioffe worked with the voice of dogs.

Selma Lagerlöf. "Nils's Wonderful Journey with the Wild Geese"

The roles are played by Arkady Raikin, Ekaterina Raikina, Oleg Tabakov. Directed by Liya Velednitskaya. 1975

"Melody"

http://www.staroeradio.ru/audio/1762

Taking a swing at Schwartz’s “Cinderella” after the success of the film with Yanina Zheimo, Alexei Konsovsky, Erast Garin and Faina Ranevskaya was a great courage, but Liya Velednitskaya assembled an equally stellar cast for the production: Arkady Raikin as the King, Ekaterina Raikina as Cinderella, prince - Oleg Tabakov, fairy - Maria Babanova, sisters - Nina Doroshina and Galina Novozhilova. It turned out great.
