Zara Dolukhanova, a well-known singer died [5 DEC 2007] at the age of 90, in Moscow. The years of her creative activities are closely related with the Soviet Communist years.

Zara Dolukhanova was born in 1918, in Moscow. Elena Makaryan, her mother, was a musician, and Aghasi Makaryan, her father, played the flute in amateur symphonic orchestras. The singer’s soft and fascinating voice was heard in European, Asian, American and other concert halls. Dolukhanova was a laureate of the Soviet Socialist Countries state prize and Lenin prize. She was awarded Honored Actress title in 1952 and Armenian Civil Actress title in 1955.
One of just two surviving pages from a Mozart manuscript has been sold at an auction in London for £110,900. The folio, from the composer's draft for the Sinfonia Concertante, has set a new record for a single page of his work, which has stood since 1998. The item was purchased from Sotheby's by dealers based in London who were bidding on behalf of a private client. The violin, viola and orchestral work was composed in 1779, securing Mozart's standing as a great composer aged 23.
