so i believe if you really have a strategy of well thought all if you have a strong team of people you can be very successful in this market you know the japanese animation has become really popular with the children and especially on the cartoon market do you think maybe there's a chance to japanese anime it will actually squeeze out the traditional cartoon which as i should have been bergen in chips for years and. when t.v. . everybody said all the theater will die all of the scene it will so i think that is very different types of entertainment that people would like and definitely the japanese animation is very very important part of that kids love disney movies kid loves old movies and emitted movies so i don't think it will influence strongly yes that's one of the very interesting and important. information which will a live together with all the other types of animation.

a peep out of the scene show. the music has made hardly keeping it scattered for centuries but listen i think it's so far in the. trying to think of the box and bring modern ideas into its hard water is that why not give them something. instead of a shuffling the power of the one song is a musician who was in a rush and. jack straw man old arsenal. became part of the guinness book of records for playing too close a good time to start a pass or please welcome life a spotlight six inches. please. please.

please consider russia's best guitarist. composing and playing with the country's best artists started a solo korea to find spirit. his relationship with the classical canon and emphasizes the creativity of rearranging committed to the guinness book of records nine years ago after playing. flight of the bumblebee at technically challenging composition popular with rock musicians today the guitarist whose hands have been insured for half a million u.s. dollars joins us to discuss why classical music remains a benchmark for modern composition and before months. welcome to our program let me start with history i first met you in the one nine hundred eighty s. . a very popular jazz rock musician playing in one of russia's best jazz

rock bands you're even invited to the status quo if i'm not mistaken the band which was extremely popular at the time why did you reject the career of a world class rock star and choose classical music instead. well you know there's a russian. man can be useful if he's home and in another thing is that perhaps here they need me more here you mean in russia. or in classical music. classical music and russian i felt that mastered everything yet i was studying at the mosque in university of culture and i graduated with honors i'm proud of the fact that i'm one of the few more. who called you green classical music let me ask you eric clapton mark knopfler the beatles and many others they didn't have any musical education at all is it really necessary for a guitar player just helps it helps so it's not

a must well if you want to achieve something in classical music you needed like in my case it helped me a lot later you've always been a rock musician are you a rock musician now or are you not any longer i'm a musician in the broad sense of the word but still again i'll divide music but just playing a piece by mozart yes it was. sorted and then beat home but it was rock music well yes so that means iraq musician well would you see. home in a more rock musicians considering their express you force and what kind of people they were for instance big hall and had long hair and long love dancing through the night playing billiards and was partying the same way the rock stars do today you couldn't do any of them smoke yes it was johann sebastian bach oh he smoked he was one of the first people to use a cigarette holder see that's the benefit of studying classical music you get to read a lot of bug great composers and now i can share this information at my concerts i

tell people about their lives and what kind of people they were. and one of the interviews he said that you're a co-author with beethoven bach and many other composers are you sure that those great composers need a co-author do you think they really need your interpretation. you know yes they do because you know one sebastian bach was discovered actual in the nineteenth century and in the nineteenth century it was considered good taste much like johnny marr chalo least in other composers played their own pieces together with those by bach many interpreters these were exciting something of their own to them musicians edit their own canon says musical pieces of their own that's why i decided that it would be progress in the twentieth century as well as bob was well ahead of his time he was a very advanced person so if you lived in the twentieth century he would compose music for such a powerful instrument says electrical guitar that's eighty percent of the truth and

the other twenty percent is that it's my tribute to classical music you know i was initially in there in the mountains in a castle they told me my son and cast a horoscope for me and they told me that i was responsible for maintaining harmony so i feel good when i feel that i must do is successful at it yes we don't have enough of this kind of music on t.v. and on there were radio and people like. that's why i played it in my concerts and i feel very good it seems to be so good that it becomes going teachers soon all others also feel that in people change at the end of the concert something changes in their eyes with all today's problems music works miracles and its impact on people is boundless so let's take a closer look now at the phenomenon of mixing classics and rock and a report by spotlights yulian that jimi that. mccartney's yesterday and eleanor rigby are believed to be inspired by deval these music later the beatles would record some of this songs with the compliment of

a symphony orchestra. in one nine hundred seventy one emerson lake and palmer rock the world with an interpretation of mussorgsky's because at an exhibition in the eighty's using fragments of question good music and rock songs became somewhat of a routine practice with guitarists liking ramones tin making rock arrangements of whole classical pieces the complicated scores of cultures from the past are a challenge which more than artists i'm willing to face a guitarist steve vai before going in his fifth priest in one nine hundred eighty six movie crossroads this not just to rock musicians who are influenced by classical music unless i'm a made her professional debut as a traditional violinist but later turned to electronic interpretations of the classics and full classically trained cellists of the finnish apocalyptica band achieved worldwide fame in the ninety's for they arrange ments of metallica's songs

while some say mixing genres is good but it popularizes classics others believe the old masterpieces are only degraded and oversimplified the interest of modernization still classics is a new and likely to subside in the age when music prevails and computer technologies make it possible almost for everyone to feel themselves. poses to be sticky didn't. go to. mr marshall victor i have your quote here here's what you said do you know what saved me the fact that i was born in a union and i never thought whether it's profitable or not to be a musician and my happiness never depended on the fact whether i had a million dollars or not while young musicians today often can't cope with this burden and if quote it sounds nice but what do you think saved ritchie blackmore

and mark knopfler saying and jimmy page what saved them because they weren't born in the soviet union. well i don't know because i have never lived there i was born in a different place but then in a g.d. everybody was idealistic at the time in the music forbidden here was very sweet we want to do very much and even though we didn't have it on t.v. and on the radio people were copying records and passing them to one another everybody knew black musicians much more than young people not a day. for midnight fruit is sweet but that's not the main reason of course the thing you step that music was very dear to me it contains great wisdom accumulated by humanity that's why forty two the old maintaining carmi i wanted to play what do you think it's amazing that you're a person who came from the underground but it's not only in the soviet union but

also in the west and around the world that the underground produces more pieces then official music why is it the case that something that's forbidden results in greater artistic works than the music which is open which is being supported and developed. it's no secret that when music is professional in artist depends greatly on the producers who have already decided what he's or her would be like and don't . some sidestep from it people get used to seeing a rock guitarist in points but what if i want to try and play the acoustic guitar but if i want to play banjo or celtic or i can do it here in the underground well i can say that i am in the underground now but i'm a happy person because i can go beyond the boundaries of the sword that style i just can't limit myself to want style to do that well you said producers decide they're a thing in professional music you sounded sad like a man who knows that firsthand are you in a similar situation now to some extent so do you have less freedom today as comes

to the days when you played jazz rock and nightclubs in the dead of the night no i'm absolutely free at my concerts it's my concerts i can play anything i want but to appear on television as a musician i need to fit in the program for example in russia instrumental music often appears in comedy shows and naturally this has to be something simpler something funny of course sometimes in the air my concerts but that doesn't happen very often only late at night that they're the guinness book of world records calls here the fastest guitar player in the world. and the flight of the bumblebee by. the speed of twenty notes a second true. but according to what she said that was just for fun. but what's difficult for you then the most difficult thing is to perform at a concert that changes people and lasts for two hours and to hold people's attention we play schubert beat harmonies for really use you're saying that the

most difficult thing is to hold people's attention as this mean that you're playing your music for people who don't want to listen to it because they have to force them to sell me any of them know their little book music are all over the weekend when i performed in italy for example one person came up to me and said you know we talents are musical people but my wife knows next to nothing about music but she well. once you listen to the bush you're working miracles and i thought to myself if i can do it in the rush or in a bloody boss talking some are in moscow and people understand it and listen with tears in their eyes this means i'm not that bad at it after all he says guitarist and compose a. spotlight will be back shortly abdulla take a break and we'll continue in less than a minute little talk and play music stay with.

i.

just. wish it would be so much brighter. moon and sun from steve. who's fleeced on top teeth dot com. welcome back to spotlight i'm going of in just to remind you that my guest in the studio today is the victor guitarist very sure i was ok and composer and my personal friend victor welcome back to all come back to the show. that when you

started talking about your current interests to suit you i know that today you're interested. in celtic music it's amazing that when we were young generation of those rock musicians tended to turn to indian music george harrison john mcloughlin many many others today's rock musicians then tears into ritchie blackmore ritchie blackmore and many others who play celtic music what brought it to celtic music. well you know stairway to heaven by led zeppelin was influenced by celtic ballots following those ballots originate from there yes that is so i realize that to be able to play this music really well you know celtic music simply bought a ticket to arlen and flew there i came back with two bags of discs and musical instruments in then i started studying it you know there are a lot of young people in russia who not only imitate their lyrics by wearing kilts

there are still two clubs where they dance and learn about celtic used tree it was very interesting for me to learn about caroline and european harpers we have boards in russia but the board of transition actually originates from europe. in our rich harper's were considered the best among european musicians before their music was superseded by church music and be home and so i realised i didn't know anything about celtic music and i thought it would help me to learn about it then again i felt like we didn't have enough of that type of music in russia so i decided to play the music i felt will happen and the celtic culture is quite popular in russia isn't it the same patrick's day as though with the national holiday here of course a lot of people say that celtic music is very reminiscent of ethnic russian songs do you think that's true i think that's my point it's a lot like the russian ethnic songs of all the singing is korsakoff simplified

russian ethnic music in the nineteenth century by releasing a collection of the two hundred most popular ethnic. he simplified down the old music that still leaves on in russia in the r. hunger screeching for example he's passed on from generation to generation that music sounds a lot like the celtic tunes of old in orthodox priest once showed me an old russian church the head is celtic cross may have something to do with the viking reign in russia or something else but where were the influence might come from the spear celtic music sounds a lot like oriental music too there is also a legend that says if it landed sever existed and plants in music was similar to celtic music because the celtic tones system was given to the druids by giants the children of atlanteans but it's hard to check with religion is true but the story is beautiful if it is true that will explain why everybody loves celtic music so much i keep hearing stories about you you're

a legendary person and not only in russia i've heard among other things that you have several dozen guitars if not several hundred not several hundreds more like several dozen i've heard that the world's leading guitar makers consider it an honor to send you a guitar for your birthday each here is not true well they didn't do it when i just started out but after i had made certain achievements and started happening and they made it does especially for you it's very nice of them is it true that one of the guitar makers that fender is a russian and that he's making it does for you yes it's true a russian guitar maker by the name. does work at fender and then one of his guitars has a prison for earth day during my concert at the it's beautiful and very expensive we have the guitar right here in us to play it at concerts it's called indorsement many guitar companies coppery it with musicians must be profitable since our market is quite big and companies want popular musicians to play their instruments as the same as rockets and tennis players yes i think they're considered as when we were

younger some of our idols like jimmy page and so on played gibson guitars. others played fender when we were following god it was important to us what guitar brands our favorite musicians preferred to know you're playing gibsons fender's that you've been as does this mean you have no principles i have principles but i'm not a narrow i really can't be pigeonholed when i play a piece that i want to sound fed into see like for example against pollen is using jeeps and guitar when i need to refine sounds the group can glass to home. caleb or mark knopfler i use a fender stratocaster besides that i have a soul to corner that i bought in germany i go there to buy acoustic instruments because i play the classical guitar to both a metal and nylon strings i even have a pedal steel guitar any ukulele i play this one by certain songs on a ukulele i did that at my kremlin concerts with

a famous ballerina all of these instruments are there like beans to me that i used to paint a lot of different beautiful pictures so your answer to the question of what's better fender or gibson who leave was your answer is everything good for you your name and peace loving man seriously no guitar is a simple instrument as great but it is simple do you think it's possible to make a perfectly good car one that you would be able to take with you on tour instead of the five you carry around now is such a guitar possible to make or do they have to be different have you ever thought about it you know they have to be different and that's the thing guitar has not played so there is no instrument that you can pick up and just start playing everyone wants a guitar like that but it doesn't exist guitar is an extension of the guitar player the secret is that you have to murray to the instrument and fully yourself as much

as you play the guitar the strings when you put them on through fingers become an extension of your hand that's how you. gained it huge power to influence the audience but you depends on the guitarists personality his culture he thinks he's in a purity to his knowledge and many other personal qualities even his physical condition all of these things affect stage presence and whether the musician is able to perform well on stage. that wait a minute to say that all great musicians well you said just the guitarists of this kind that loam uses since. all these people who have lots of fans. even to say that they're all people of all standards they're all good people he's just dedicated to music. you know many ways yes they're all outstanding people there is no doubt about that. there are no bad people among them.

when a person like that comes on stage is negative charisma will make him a fun to watch but only for certain times there are people like that of course but the general rule is that when i'm pure person performance she's the one someone who doesn't like what they do you or doesn't like people perform their performance does not turn out very well people don't notice that but it's true i believe the genius and villainy are incompatible i'm not the first person to say that there is a certain steerer type regarding rock star behavior rock stars drink and to but they do it in order to give all they have to music they want to serve music and serve their audience they destroy themselves during that so we can condemn musicians or taking drugs. so you are justifying them but it is a fad that drugs help make music they help you be more creative to go to another

dimension so you don't condemn drugs and rock music this has already happened that's how a lot. musical styles are more invented look at jimi hendrix and psychedelic music . of course i can condemn those people to do because russia and the whole world are promoting healthy lifestyle. you know when you grew up your realize and did mean to say that musicians have already taken what they could from the drugs is a thing in the past now you hear some relief so musicians changes the grow up and they grew to understand that if they keep on taking drugs who are smoking you know there is a great football team in russia called star cool a lot of musicians play for that team and i'm very happy that i started playing football that was twelve years ago i quit smoking and kicked all my bad habits the lot of people come to our concerts also we organize charity games giving the money

to sick children i know that you know only in other countries have similar projects by you realize that i was at the next stage that stage was in the past the music stayed and now i have to stay fit if i want to give concerts and reach out to people with my music and i'm not the only one like that russia this insurance company that insured your hands for half a million dollars to play football it's a true story but i did that a long time ago you know last century i was defers to russian musician i believe to have his hands insured for half a million dollars but that was only for a year and the contract was actually quite elaborate i was not allowed to engage in mountain climbing and gliding or other dangerous sports you can save your fingers into the tricity sockets yes that would avoid the contract price to best buy c.d.'s i say about it on that thank you very much for being with us it was a great pleasure thank you just

a reminder that my guest today was guitarist and composer. thank you. thanks. with us in the spotlight and just a reminder that you've been watching spotlight on r.t. . a famous russian musician composer and guitar hero two i was out was with us on this show will be about her. art take care of.
