in general, we had completely different plans, but fate decreed otherwise. she, like an amazon , led the legendary enchantress ensemble, and now carefully preserves the experience and develops the musical traditions of the group. today my guest is the artistic director of the enchantress ensemble, polina bazyleva. polina, hello. hello. polina, it’s true that as a child you didn’t dream of becoming an actress. an actress, no, an artist, no. me at all.

and accordingly, little by little , little by little they somehow began to get involved in creativity, and my mother lived in the village when grandfather came up to me and said: “irink, here is an enrollment for a music school, what will you play?” "she spoke violins, daddy." she was always drawn to someone tall, sophisticated, and she wanted to play the violin, he said: what kind of instrument is the violin, here is the accordion, and so for several years she was not given to the violin, and accordingly, the gestalt with her mother was not closed. when i was a child, we were taught the violin

, that’s how i mean, yes, music school for years i played the violin, yes, when you realized that you want to sing much more than play violin, at the music school it was new year's eve, i had a beautiful pink dress and everything went to the point that i was presenting my dress, i had to protect it by playing the violin, but i thought, no, i want to sing, and i went out and sang under...

a folk vocal teacher appeared at the school, but how did your parents perceive your decision to enroll in a music school? i, to be honest, it’s somehow washed out in my memory, i don’t remember how it happened, how i ended up at the music school, well, apparently my parents didn’t resist, if not what remains in my memory is probably my performances at some competitions, at concerts, it was already so harmonious, everything was going towards this, something... i didn’t even have any other options, because i went to various competitions, international and in the russian ones, she took first place, became a laureate, well, first degree, and somehow it all went so harmoniously that in the music school there is folk vocals, and it’s no secret that hundreds graduate from music schools and music universities, or even thousands of students, but on the big stage not everyone gets in, this is how your musical career developed before...

cants, then i entered the university, i had to give up this business for a little while, as they say, yes, it was with the philharmonic that i began to study, namely vocals, folk vocals , when i graduated, i was sent to the mogilev music school, which is exactly where i came from, i was a teacher of voice training and a leader of a folk choir, then i got married, my husband, by the way, graduated from moscow...

mother - at that moment they were looking for vocalist they paid attention to me, when i moved to minsk, i began working as a soloist in a military orchestra, i worked there for 10 years until i entered the magistrate and went to work at the university,

so your admission to cherovnitsa, you called it by acquaintance , yes, by vlat, by pull, well , this is such a humorous definition, if there were no ability of talent. yes, naturally, yes, it was a casting, they invited me to the casting, i sang in belarusian, in russian, in english, that is they saw my versatility and hired me. heads, smelling the brews.

we introduce you to the architectural memories of belarus from different eras and centuries. here we are trotting the french baroque with saxon elements. these palaces themselves are unpainted, noble jumpers, byzantine architecture, which has passed its time with great joy, the truth has floated on the ancient, so called old-russian style, and all that is rightly remembered by the people 19 stagodzia, geta uzho tsalkam palette project. let's look at their history and basic facts. geta cartouche negledzyachy for changes in time, wars, roznyya perashkoda, zmog zahavats. heraldic plots softened such a cartouche was given as a business card by the sonnya ўyаўlenne who gaspadar chy this budynak pseudorussian style to such chynа dasya ў their metaty the theater as the center of the public month ў proudly said and the fact is that

the racial empire is serious and necessary here. gladzitsa ў prektse architecture of belarus on our tv channel. and i will tell everyone that i am leaving and will live with you, if you want to be silent, call this is my phone, wait, something happened, no, nothing, my head was spinning, we decided

to get married, what do you know, and we will have a child, watch the series desire on the belarus2 tv channel. the enchantress is an ensemble with a rich history, which is, well, perhaps twice as old as you, how your older comrades received you into the team is wonderful, and i love it very much.

i want to be here as part of the team, i had to adapt, this was the most difficult moment, but due to the fact that they were older than me, and my respect for them, my such a fighting character, all this helped me cope with this task, because if i had been psychologically weaker, perhaps i would not have succeeded, because it was very difficult, i needed to restore a large layer of music. yes, this is the singing layer of the repertoire, plus adjusting specifically to

the vocals, because in cheravnitsy we have such a feature, there is a little bit like that, well , a little bit, well, it’s not suppressed, but there is such a feeling, yes, and to me it was necessary to drive oneself into these certain frameworks of a sleepy collective, which for so many years they had been friends all over them, this period when the ensemble broke up and you just entered some kind of professional. after all, you didn’t even have the opportunity to see them live, throughout our childhood we lived as grandmothers near nizhny novgorod, and accordingly, russian music was playing somewhere on the radio, yes, although soviet, radio lighthouse, yes, radio lighthouse, just like that , i didn’t have an ear for this enchanting music, when they called me and invited me to the casting, i only went because i respected my mother, our friend...

so polina, let’s clarify, right now in modern enchantresses also have their own requirements, of course, as before, so now, yes, we are interested in video, well, since we are a group that goes on television, somewhere on some big stages, we are interested in video, professional vocal qualities , the professional qualities of our instrumentalists, our saxophonists, but that’s it...

we need a person, a person, yeah, but this is a very difficult question, creating an ensemble, because it’s no secret that generational changes, even in such a well-known ensemble, is a very difficult stage, especially for performers who leave, leave the ensemble, as happened with you , and the women’s ensemble, the women’s ensemble always has such a share, but next year we will have just the fiftieth anniversary of the ensemble. during this period there was a very high turnover, you could say

, some were there for a month, some were there for a year, some were in the team for 5 years, the female share is as follows : we get married, we give birth to children, some have a jealous spouse , because we have fans, but it’s no secret, we have fans who come up after concerts, who write to us, ask for autographs , send... this kind of life test , not everyone, because well, someone leaves for their husband and maybe someone starts their solo career, but this also happens, but this also happens, so when they say that the enchantress is a retro ensemble, doesn’t that offend you? no , it doesn’t offend, now, by the way, our fans and

our listeners, they are divided, because sometimes they say: oh, we want those enchantresses who... were still at the peak of popularity, and some say: no, we want already here are the young black girls, serve them us, and therefore we can no longer consider that we are a retro team, and i want to note that at that time the blacks were ultra-modern, ultra fashionable, these are long tails, these are short skirts, these are, uh, tights, leggings are bright, purple, green, well, imagine in in the soviet union such girls, yes... jeans, denim shorts and now we, since we have such an upgrade of the team, naturally, we have to keep this brand, our girls are young, they already want this, now we are making arrangements already meets modern demands, yeah, that’s why we don’t

we are offended, we have songs for such listeners and for such listeners, this is the theater.

this, you know, we sang, here are drafts, here we have new ones, we have our new songs, they should, i have such a request to the arrangers, to have a little bit of a style, that’s it, that is, some kind of melody, yes, yes, polina, you are not only a soloist, but also the artistic director of the enchantress ensemble, how difficult it is to lead a women’s group, to be honest, it’s difficult,

difficult, but because we have bright personalities gathered in our team. when you are a leader and lead leaders, this is the difficulty, but how could you determine your style of leadership, about the women's team, i have a very, in fact, i have a tough character, but outwardly i am so friendly, kind, but when it comes to business, everything is very specific and clear for me, i

don’t like it when a person says one thing and does another, does your integrity... in professional matters accept, agree with you? there are points that we of course discuss, but to command there must be one, because if you listen to everyone, nothing will work, we have already been through this, so one must command and one must make decisions. polina, in our conversation we touched upon the fact that the women’s team has its own peculiarity, a frequent change of composition. what do you think? naturally, we are getting very used to these changes, to some people , because we don’t have that, we don’t have that, you know, here’s the team, that’s it, we went home after the concert, for us the team is our family, it’s our friendship.

do you have time to implement them as a leader? i realized my solo ambitions when i was a soloist of the mogilev philharmonic, when i was a soloist of a military orchestra,

i closed this niche, i completely exhausted it, now i calmly work in a team and i like it when girls express themselves. hurry up, hurry up, i'm still free, hurry up. hurry up, i’m waiting for a call today , hurry up, hurry up, beauty doesn’t last forever, hurry up , i can’t make an appointment, in addition to the fact that you go, you lead the enchantress ensemble, you are also a mother of two children, yes, how difficult it is combining family and sym is difficult. it’s difficult to combine, because children want a lot of communication with their mother, they want to hug, they want

to share emotions, when the schedule is very busy, naturally we don’t get this communication, but on the other hand, look, i gave my daughter to the saxophone, she’s like me - she asked a question, she said: mommy, what do i need to do to get into your group, i say, first of all, you must sing well and... play a wind instrument competitively, so the decision was made to give her saxophone, and recently she had this, you know, moment, she didn’t want to go to music school, and i just took her to a rehearsal, to our rehearsal, where high-quality saxophonists, our girls, play, they are so charismatic, the individuals themselves are charismatic, that after the rehearsal, i see, she began to take out a saxophone, began practice on it, and we sent our son to the guitar. he himself chose, i want to say, to play the electric guitar, that is, they are such creative rehearsals, polina, you just mentioned that in the eleventh year you came to the enchantresses, and somewhere during

this period you became a mother, yes, well i'm somewhere no, a little later i became a mother, but i wanted to know, you never went on maternity leave, no, i didn’t go on maternity leave, well, in terms of there... we still went on stage, did some filming, that is, you didn’t refuse any touring or rehearsal schedules, no, you traveled long distances, too, yes, yes, who helped you during this period, my parents , my mother-in-law, my husband helped me, of course, yes, yes, of course, he also got it, oh, i was very lucky with my husband, and he is a man, a former... military man, he knows how to cook everything, clean, take care of the children, he is a real rock, a real mountain, and i am never scared when i go somewhere, my children

are always examined, fed, warmed, palina, your husband, by training, a military conductor, children, us too have you already found out that you are studying music school, maybe create some kind of musical ensemble, a family one? at family holidays we have this ensemble, it already exists, yes, it exists, it tours normally, but what is the repertoire of this ensemble, oh, varied, varied, but as usual holidays are held in your ensemble, you manage to somehow get together off stage, yes , we used to have this more often, and we generally always spent every holiday together, now our girls are very popular musicians, everyone, it’s difficult for us... somehow let ’s take a moment, even after the new year holidays we can only get together to celebrate the new year itself, next year

the enchantresses will be 50 years old. yes, well, tell me a little secret, what awaits your fans? now we are writing songs, recording some, some songs, we we’re recording a new arrangement , we’re doing a rearrangement, yes, with new beats, the concept of the concert is still not completely clear to me, the name of the program is still spinning, while it’s spinning, spinning, spinning, spinning, for young girls we need a video sequence, new pictures, and of course we are now..

.do what you like, yes , realize your dreams, your desires, please yourself, make yourself happy, these, this is the meaning of life, saturate, fill your life, and naturally, family, family, children , parents, this is our main our main natural such, yes, an attitude, procreation. this is the meaning of life. polina, i want you to have as much creativity and love in your life in the new year as possible, in your family, at work, in every moment of your life. thank you very much, thank you. this was the meaning of polina bazaleva’s life.
