the stankina studio gathered the whole color of soviet music the hall for 800 seats was filled with reverence the audience looked with reverence at alexandra pakhmutova nikolai dobronravov arno babadzhanyan, who were sitting just in the center of the hall among the audience, the well-known hosts anna shilova and igor kirillov, beloved by all, appeared on the stage dear comrades television festival song 71 is declared open on the side of the stage for the first time a shield with the logo song 71 was installed and for the first time the call signs of the competition sounded, which was to last for 40 years and live until now, the stage has been decorated for the new year's concert traditionally shown on television.

laureate of the all-union competition soloist of all-union radio and television lev leshchenko laureate of all-union and international competitions honored artist of the chechen-ingush ussr iosif kobzon laureate of international competitions people's artist of the azerbaijani ussr muslim magomayev in the competition muslim magomayev was not such a popular hit in the seventy-first year. although i got into the competition on the letters of radio listeners. 30.000 letters and postcards from you lovers of the song it does not seem that magomayev counted on first place in a trendy plaid jacket. for some reason, he looked more modest than the others, and he performed penultimately at number 11 with a song by the composer arnobadzhanyan based on the

verses of robert rozhdestvensky wedding. mr. the success of any song depends not only on the composer and poet. and, of course, from the performer muslim magomayev, one can call the author of every song that he took his repertoire to music , he played the piano superbly and, unlike

many. he studied at the music school at the conservatory. and i'm at the music school, too, about the conservatory somewhere in the eighth grade. he left school and moved to a music school, because he was eager to sing. and we all already knew that some boy, very thin, sings all the time. this is how i remember now. i was 15 years old, and he was 13. and when he moved to the school, he draws attention to the fact that a vocalist can't combine himself to accompany himself. song and rehearse and not depend on anyone, but such rehearsals, as it seemed to him, there were not enough tapes recorded at arnobodzhanyan's house. he listened to it many times in order to hear himself from the outside, to correct something, to find the right intonation, new shades, such home

recordings were for magomayev, as it were, a test of the pen. before entering the stage, there was such a small tape recorder comet, then a primer. he loved it when he wrote it down. that is, he himself sat down to play the piano. yes, he himself, so the microphone drank himself, accompanied himself and was very open enough, the man was so emotional, very my childish memories. i didn't understand then. and who is muslim magomayev, as he understands today? well , i understood that this is very unearthly, therefore, my childhood memories seem to be the warmest, and at the house of my grandfather and grandmother, they were close friends and sometimes saw him there. at his house , i will continue to call muslim's son-in-law in

society. naturally, magomedovich and i are with him because , well, it will sound somehow strange if i call my uncle, although i think he liked it, they honestly say that muslim magomayev did not like his wedding song, in nature they were closer romances are lyrical songs with deep content from love drama. today. they would be called pretentious, but the sincerity of which magomayev filled any of his songs excluded superficial paphos, he was forced to experience every emotion with every word, even if the song was not among his favorites. i discussed with him several times his favorites. i think that such songs as a melody, such songs as the sea is muslim magomedovich's favorite song, a song that begins with a low couplet, the sea has returned to everything that he is told, which usually sits

play rael and such a percussive killer chorus. about the sea, the sea, such a very beautiful song and he himself is the author of the music, but it all depends on the period, because it is impossible to identify in a lifetime that this is my favorite song that i performed. that is, i think that it always changed with him, i could easily imagine on the spot, the hero, the face that he sang, he was not married, he did not even know the woman who became the love of his life tamara sinyavsky. they will marry in 3 years in the seventy-fourth and live together for 35 years. bye death will not separate. their bride. magomayeva was a soloist of the bolshoi theater, she was recognized as the best olga in the opera eugene onegin, she dedicated

love. he loved, but she is selfless, and she said that she put her career on the altar of muslim. listen, it seemed to me so for mohammed. it was the second brother. the first love for a classmate with the romantic name afelia did not last long with her daughter marina muslim magometovich. he managed to maintain warm good relations and a cheerful song about a wild happy wedding. still loved it life ordered that this song accompanied its first performer throughout his entire creative career, chanted the wedding and magomayev performed it more attention, some other songs turned out. it's not difficult to like the letters of radio listeners were the first stage in the selection of songs for years, the final decision was made by the jury members,

who sat right there in the ostankino studio most of them. radio stations, and not coincidentally, radio in the sixties and seventies was the main source of information in the age of all-consuming television was just beginning, and all apartments were equipped with radio stations. radio was a window into the world of culture. when i came in the sixty-seventh year, you know, i captured my thoughts. on along the corridor you could also meet you kozlovsky sergey yakovlevich david sharply came to serve his notes. these are the people. walked our walls. you understand how the editor should have behaved, accordingly there were requirements for the editor, when you come you go through a very strict thorny course, then you are enrolled and they say, that's all for you music library of 18 million titles, the largest

music library in the world was to work as a music editor. the rights were required, as a rule, a conservative education, the editor on the radio was the main person who determined the country's musical and song policy to the flow, letters from radio listeners were used to. actually, it was the only interactive bridge available to people in the middle of the last century. the requirements of our editors were yes, and what do you think is lunar that you think it is worthy that everyone knew the reach of the audience, it was possible to assess how one hundred percent of the radio was constantly turned on in factory canteens and in parks under the radio, they did morning exercises and industrial gymnastics. happy. at work. the children listened to their grandmother's fairy tales and radio plays. and, of course, all without exception. they were waiting for their favorite songs, collective applications were considered first of all once a week

and imposed a little bit. do you know it? we gave a little summary of a popular classic there, and then the responses were asked to perform these compositions, and therefore we succeeded such a relationship with our audience can by no means be said that they will not understand. nothing. we must respect the audience of stupid people, there is no stupid editor in the world. there is a record number of letters to editors, the radio received when the song of the year contest was announced, however, it became known as such since 2001. and then the name looked simpler song 71 song 72 and so on at the first festival the longest letter in the history of music broadcasting came. under it were 150 signatures. you look at what letter was sent to us from the city of salavat

captions here, but the winner of the festival was not this song professional radio olympus did not listen to the voice of the people, but decided otherwise after the final count of votes, the song won by people's artist of the soviet union arno babajanyan robert christmas wedding was on and she was tired and the length of the song, which was first performed by muslim magomayev immediately became magomayev’s, they were very rarely performed from the stage by other artists, an inimitable timbre and a special inner non -poser temperament on the verge of high heat did not released the song from the first artist, especially if it was written specifically for him. yes, he,

of course, counted on his performing abilities, the manner of performing the wedding song and writing other songs in the community. the composer gave the christmas melody of the future song to listen to his friend, the poet, and patiently waited for him to write poetry, and it was always a perfect match even when rozhdestvensky dictated poetry over the phone. they asked me to record this melody on a tape recorder, that is, my father played the piano, i recorded it on a cassette and gave robert ivanovich and here he is at home. i thought, i thought, i composed, and then either i came myself or i could call on the phone to dictate. uh, there the poems of the composer and the poet developed quickly, disappearing,

despite the completely dissimilar characters and the difference in age, it is believed that 10 years is already a different generation. arno babajanen was 11 years older than robert rozhdestvensky; in general, he was a very democratic person. he had no age difference in his early 60s. uh, robert came in generally always came with his wife. uh, dad had a melody and he suggested this melody to robert ivanovich and that's how it was born for the first time, as it were, began. the popularity of the song he accurately chose a focus group to test his music he tested on housekeepers. i remember we had, uh, a housekeeper. ei here, she was a very musical person. and that's when dad played music. now, if she didn’t like it, then this song is sure, so she was a success like this, for example, take your time with the song, it was like that with the rays,

the city of the earth, 20 years old, the composer babadzhanyan and the poet. rozhdestvensky wrote songs together and almost all of them became hits, as soon as the song hit the radio air, literally the next day, applications began to come in for its re-performance. it seems to me that magomayev, he outgrew all his songs anyway, so that he would not sing. and it became such a magomayev hit. i even remember, here's an interesting case, it was 10 years ago atlantic city america creative igor krutoy who wrote two songs a-a for muslimmagomedovich for this concerts in atlantic city magomayev did exception. he agreed to sing muslim magomayev was one of those rare artists who know and feel their world and the world of the stage. so they absolutely understand when to leave magomayev once

he made a decision and stopped performing, but love for music, love for the song and his profession, did not go away magomayev went to america to perform two new songs written especially for him a concert. and it’s impossible for a lot of people to get tickets, all the top artists and such a surprise, and muslim magomedovich participates and sings two songs, which krutoy specially wrote for him and this is also a long story, because naturally. it ’s not for yourself anymore, as if they just left him to sing and don’t touch atlantic city, a small city, but a concert hall. it is considered one of the most prestigious in america, at least, there is the world's largest organ at concerts of russian performers. the hall is always full magomayev comes on stage and you know, i

was also sitting in the hall, firstly, everyone stood up and there was an ovation for about three minutes, that is, everyone forgot about the concert the concert that someone performed this was such a drum applause he could not even start singing, because people met him, as if they had come to his solo concept, which everyone had been waiting for a very long time, these two songs did not have time. naturally, it was, uh, full of trucks. and after that, everyone was shouting wedding wedding, and it was apparently not a prepared number. he suddenly just sang it, eh . this song wedding today could celebrate its fortieth anniversary, but since this is a wedding song , it should not celebrate a birthday, but an anniversary weddings of 40 years is a ruby ​​wedding.

it would never occur to anyone to miss such a date, they celebrate both chintz and paper, leather and copper, and whatever kind of cook weddings for an anniversary, for example. so, when older people celebrate their golden wedding retirement, magomayev's wedding begins. so they chew and get younger, when this song sounds, they remember their young years of marriage in a person's life. wedding. she can say one of the brightest events. in general , weddings in our country began to solemnly celebrate not so long ago, paradoxically, but the fact before in the mid-fifties of the last century, the brothers in the soviet union were in police stations, there was nothing solemn about this, only in 1958, at the suggestion of the komsomol

members of the leningrad introduction of svetlana and with the support of the hormones of the party, the first wedding palace in the ussr was created. there are two rituals. in every culture since the homo minesweeper has become. basically two legs. this is a wedding, a funeral, the birth of a child - this is an intimate holiday. this is mainly mom, dad and immediate family members of the wedding funeral this the moment when the mouth is going when something is indicated in public life in public life, in the sixties the family, as a cell of society , occupied an important place, but the state was more interested in such attributes of family life as registration and alimony. there were also grandmothers who remembered how they got married before the revolution in compliance with all folk traditions. but this is in the village in the cities of tradition. there was no time to celebrate and there was nothing to celebrate in the early sixties , komsomol came into fashion. weddings, sixties,

very simple there is nothing, there is one bottle. wine, sometimes one bottle of vodka, these komsomol weddings, but everyone believes everyone believes that they will build normal ones with their own hands. here is a society with bright ideals with a human face that was so crooked. well, their predecessors to these photographs are many photographs called the mirror of history. wedding photos are a very special genre, you can study ego history from them, this term has appeared recently, it means a person’s description of the life of his family in the context of historical process, and family life. ideally, it starts with the wedding album of all family albums, because this is still important in the sixties. these are lives without a penny of money, when money does not matter, but this is life, and on the wave of a romantic illusion, the song wedding gave birth to

the seventy-first just on the wholesale of the sixties, but she walks without anything. this is a naked wedding. it takes them off. mostly friends with such a family camera. yes, here's an amateur device. well it's fun it's fun. it's unusual for love. it is attributed to some specific type of soviet song, it did not call for labor exploits , did not arouse patriotic feelings and did not make sad the unsophisticated love of the factory club, but there was life in it and there was the charm of talent. maybe this was what bribed the jury of the competition, song 71, the drive with which muslim magomayev performed this song, muslim magomayev's first solo concert

in moscow took place in 1963, long before the premiere of the song wedding in the tchaikovsky concert hall, he sang in the first and second parts classical works by mozart of russia tchaikovsky and rachmaninoff rumors about a young talented baritone quickly ascended in moscow for those who wanted to . the competition, of course, took first places everywhere, and then the famous festival of youth. and in helsinki, where he came from at the buchenvali alarm and

moscow already accepted him as a triumphant, and here all the blessings that showered on the young magomayev fell on him, he chose an internship at the famous la scala theater, vocal classes were conducted by the famous singer maestro jenna rubara enrico piazza, who at one time assisted the great arthur in dragging for classes, chose the opera barber of seville and his fig is recognized as one of the best in the world. and this aria has become the hallmark of the singer. after caressing muslim magomayev, he found himself at the crossroads of the opera or stage. everything was decided by the final concert in milan , all soviet interns performed their signature works. the mood was great even at the very

end of the concert. suddenly magomayev sang along the st. petersburg hall met the song of applause italian bravo bravissimo. determined the fate of muslim magomayev verse who passed from classical music. on the stage and saved. in himself the culture and the highest level of a classical performer. i think that this is one of the most important qualities that moved him, he never lowered this bar to the stage. magomayev moved. not only the classical staging of the voice and his manner of singing, but also the external attributes, he became a trendsetter for many soviet singers, but few

dared in those years to directly imitate magomayev. it was necessary to be able to wear a tuxedo bow tie and a scarlet cummerbund, a wide silk train, a draped tab on the soviet pop scene nobody allowed himself this for the first time with his elegant suit and unusual decoration instead of a tie. muslim magomayev amazed the audience in poland at the international festival. this is how magomayev created his own special stage image. he did not hide anything and was not shy about anything, if music can be compared with fashion, then it was a singer high music on the pop stage incorrectly says that he was, because here he remained an opera singer and continued, and he had a branch of the pop opera department to perform operas and even at his concerts, so e

, it’s not that he left abandoned or changed to something else. i think i just wanted both. and if you completely immerse yourself, as if in opera music. i think that then it was necessary, but to sacrifice spending, therefore, here he found the exact balance of the song performed by magomayev became, as they say, the genres of a special genre called the soviet song, which arises precisely then in the sixties and seventies of the last century, the soviet song is a genre of international song. and romance is everywhere sincere songwriting at the heart of it, you can come here to folk music-making and a little bit to urban romance, and those songs that were sustained. in terms of purity of musical taste. this became the soviet song the universality of these songs.

it also consisted in the fact that they could perform on stage in any hall, in front of any audience. they could be sung at home. it was possible to dance under them, even on the ice, the discoverer of this side of the soviet song was eighteen-year-old tatyana tarasova at the world universiade in italy. she went out on the ice with her partner georgy proskurin to the song do n’t hurry orno-babadzhana performed by muslim magomayev song. the wedding has not yet been written. and so, who knows, maybe the choice of skaters would fall on her, i'm happy. so, as it were, here i lived at that time, and that i had the pleasure of walking on his concert. see him live, that i had fun. listen to him on tv on the radio and now and always he created such pictures that i have always seen with his songs. he created whole works absolutely finished. and

it was very important for me to see in the song what the person wanted to say. this is the first time i saw it and consciously felt it and tried to follow and not spoil his performance. and it was empty and long. to spoil the performance of the song, the wedding turned out to be beyond the power of even time, at which she appeared, and it was a somewhat strange khrushchev’s time in our country, the thaw was already behind the first decade of brezhnev ’s rule, no one yet called stagnation, but the creative intelligentsia, the most sensitive to changes in the spiritual life of society, already caught signs of this. stagnation. time acquires. at this time, these angry, irritated

soviets appear. they appear precisely in very rare photographs of that time was so not festive years. we have people walking around. we have people laughing on trips. even from photographic film, life disappears . there are a lot of photographs of that time, but they fixed, basically, only two aspects of life, officialdom and production, if events, then the launch of the next turbine. if the portrait is a hero of labor, several photographers worked in the editorial office of each newspaper, who were supposed to capture the labor achievements of the people and the movements of imposing representatives of the authorities in the seventies - this is the time when life loses face altogether. that's so gray

then we begin to approach that there is a single social soviet people a. there sister is a specific person. nothing happens there a few hours after the official congratulations on the new year 1971 broadcast on television, people are not used to such congratulations yet. this was only the second time the tradition was addressed to the citizens. without five minutes, the new year was laid. in 1970 , the general secret, as the cpsu leonid ilyich brezhnev, he spoke about the eighth five-year plan, selfless work, new victories and achievements for the good of the motherland, these topics in new year's congratulations have also become a tradition. the song "wedding " was voiced contrary to the general mood of the seventy-

first year of the song's appearance. magomaeva - what is it? is it like a rocket, is it like a salute? well, already begun to drag on, duckweed, fading and sour labor. you know water. this is such an energy exhaust, and this song she, to some extent, pushed the rebirth of the wedding ritual. it happens it happens. so one song she re-collects something that in social life is gone. tenth weddings broke out of the humble family environment. they began to be celebrated in cafes and even in canteens at the place of work of the bride or groom in the registry office, they drove a car who is richer on the volga, more often on moskvich with ribbons and an obligatory toy bear on the bumper, dolls began to be attached much later after the obligatory visit to the

monument to lenin or the mass graves of the fallen warriors, the young received symbolic keys. from family happiness, they ate trees in the alley of the newlyweds or read fidelity's dinner, all this, depending on the imagination of the local registry office and council of people's deputies. friends. they brought a radio with them. music accompanied the young, as far as the batteries lasted, one of the most popular wedding years. it was new at the time because we mostly had lyrical songs. and then there were twists and rhythms, there was sheik and other dance rhythms, and babajanyan felt that today's youth is required, the last song of arno badjanyan is called nocturne, he wrote this sad melody when he was already sick and not young. this song has remained like a requiem which

the composer wrote to himself babadzhanyan did not call, as usual magomayev, to invite him to listen to new music, in relations with the singer the composer did not have the same trust and creative understanding for several years magomayev did not sing badzhane songs home. i want to play, well, a melody, while they have it. because he began to work more in the shed, then it began with his son . give him your songs. yes, for him he specially began to write for many years, he heads the fund in memory of his father. he lives in the center of moscow in his father's apartment, where he kept the paintings arnobadzhan’s brushes and all the old furnishings, the singer and film actor arabodzhanyan often recalls the concerts that he once gave with his father. uh, we

performed a lot together with him. there, at his creative evenings, then there were such programs, comrade cinema. and so my dad and i went. i performed his songs and songs from films where i acted in general, it was very good to perform with him in ours, when he sat down at the piano and accompanied it as if there was a whole orchestra behind you. uh, for magomayev, the cooling of relations is still bob janyan was not an easy test. he grew up in a family that belonged to the creative. to the elite of azerbaijan, one grandfather muslim was the founder of classical azerbaijani music, the other stood at the origins of the azerbaijani drama theater, strict upbringing and natural tact did not allow magomayev to treat elders without traditional reverence. magomayev were impeccable, not a single person can be found

who could say. it's dishonest, he did not help, he did not give. mutual money was rudely scolded by no one at best, he stepped aside. and more then he didn’t communicate, one of the wisdoms of the east says time loves no one and hates no one. it takes everyone away after the death of arno bob jan, the verses for the song nocturne were written by robert rozhdestvensky and muslim magomayev sang this song , this is incredible in terms of dramaticism, lyricism, dramatic expression, such an interpretation that muslim gave. i think it will also only belong to muslim, it was not only a requiem of couples but babadzhanyan it was a requiem for the magnificent creative triumph of babadzhanen rozhdestvensky magomeyev always.

with all the inimitable voice and charm, muslim magomayev never had the exclusive right to perform any song, the same wedding was sung by yuri gulyaev iosif kobzon renat ibragimov and many other performers and vocal and instrumental ensembles. by the way, this song turned out to be almost the only one on the theme of the wedding. wow congratulatory there is a song. until what happy birthday to you, for example, happy birthday, i don’t even know, i have never heard. well, maybe there are some peoples that are little known, somewhere people sing with traditions, there are such, but they are not

so popular so famous. no, these are not hits in the literal sense, in two words , they also turned out to be a kind of hits, the groom, who was very serious and a dazzling young bride. and the fact that the song was sung on behalf of a single casual observer gave it a romantic touch, even in the eyes of the groom's skeptical friends. well, also in the third , picking will go about what he walked. i am completely unmarried and regretted that i am not a groom too really the romance of the wedding hung wedding the veil, casually mentioned in the song, has become an obligatory attribute of the bride's attire; it could be bought in a special wedding salon, but these headdresses are beauty and sophistication. they often bought a veil, how fabric and houses were altered, using old grandmothers, flowers or beads, approximately the same

victory there, a half-knocked groom with a suit, these photos. they turned out to be the most expressive time of the wedding ritual gradually. began to become an industry. photographers were on duty at each registry office, who worked semi-legally and offered their services for 3-5 rubles. color photographs of a dozen toastmasters, as a rule, were of his spoken relatives he was not paid. but waiters left weddings with full pockets of tips and for musicians. these were also bread days from the hall shouting out orders for songs. babadzhanyan 's wedding sounded throughout the entire festivities in the restaurant. it could sound dozens of times dozens of times and then not two decades. yes, like folk sand, it can eventually a little bit, for example, calm down in a year. it starts again

years - this is a general disorder of the financial economy of the country's economy. construction in progress and at the same time one of the inexplicable phenomena of soviet life was being formed. the stronger the weekdays, the brighter the holidays, the scarcer on the shelves, the richer on the wedding table, the more boring the party congresses. that’s why you want to dance at your wedding, it’s always very difficult to squeeze it into some kind of gray framework . if he suffers, then by 100%, but if he walks, then also by 100, and this song she was incredibly important, because she, this one, she gave a way out. this insane revelry of the russian character. she

was just talking about what was so lacking , and at every wedding at every wedding this song is played wedding and it is no longer sung by muslim magomayev , but it is sung by people who, in one way or another , earned money in a cafe, sing it themselves, because the music was beautiful, it immediately entered the head, the words were such that they did not have to be heard twice in order to remember, as they say, years have passed , everything has changed, muscovites with ridiculous toys limousines have changed on the bumper. wedding dresses began to be ordered in paris or london toastmaster , professional dancers work, supervise, a specially invited dj, and only two things remained unchanged - wedding photos and songs that have survived to this day. and it remained the same obligatory element of the

wedding ritual with you in autumn 2009. she me, by the way, was in muslim traditions. she was non-alcoholic, it was very interesting, a fun wedding and all the people, by the way, after the wedding, they say we didn't even notice that there was no alcohol, it became so interesting and fun better than with alcohol. only in our country no one screamed bitterly, there is no alcohol , which means it’s not bitter. and of course. i managed the wedding and sang my own wedding. the song wedding turned out to be out of fashion and out of time no one remembers what speeches were once made from the rostrum of party congresses and does not measure time by the amount of coal mined in the next five-year plan but everyone remembers their wedding, even if it was in the

seventies and looked like, like two drops of water on neighbor's wedding, because if we look at these photographs, the impression is that these doctors were stamped out, so a soviet person, but magomayev's songs at some point in the wedding launched happiness, launched this unbridled emotionality, which, well, that's all - to every person and the soviet person. i also always really wanted to experience there are things that, like fashionistas, go there from a coat hanger. they subside, then come back, but this song she didn't leave. this song magomayev she did not leave muslim magomayev is still called a role model, which contradicts the seemingly common truth. each time has its own heroes of such charismatic personalities, the scene knows a little, all the more pop for me in general, and i never

hide it in any way. muslim magomayev is my personal superhero, because i also sing and make music. if you want to be like someone, then, of course, only like him, like someone else, that is, this is it. if you want to be a boxer. do you want to be muhammad ali if you want to be singers, do you want to be muslim magomayev few? who knows that muslim magomayev's favorite singer was frank of the senator of his song with symbolic words from it known to the whole world. this is my path magomayev ended his creative career. remember the great muslim magomayev is dedicated to i will remain you in any case. i'm not trying in any way, how to be his double somehow or drink his song there,

that is, of course not. i am doing absolutely my other copyright, but music. well, in my heart i honestly admit, of course i'm pleased when someone says that i am something like her on stage and and this is a wedding and everything and everyone just fell and it was

do you have money no? no, my dear, it's not money. in my understanding, money starts after five zeros. yes hi.

i won't give you anything either people or technology in principle. what logic can there be in a country of absurdity? get out as you know. modernization with innovations your mother, in short, i sent him, understood?
