Maria Maksakova: the charm of authenticity

Often talented man is to acquire its inherent ability to a certain kind of creative autonomy, dominant in the full range of his personal qualities, strong submission of his being. Then the other, is this ability as something independent, self-sufficient, regardless of their perceived almost involuntary. Accurate eye of an artist, musician, keen ear, or the originality of the definition in Bazhov, "with an eye and an ear hook with potholders," always ready, always vigilant: greedy and insatiable and they absorb impressions difficult for ordinary people and as if automatically transform the perceived phenomena of the world of art. Trembling hands and imperious conductor to dictate some strange magic single wave their will, hundreds of musicians will. Rend the air, so that harmonious sound of the orchestra Hear pianist hands lnuschie the keys and pleasant piano or perched in a rough seat above the keyboard, you can immerse yourself in dreamy hall happiness or disturb their natural power coming storm. Maria Maksakova singer's voice - it's a part of him, and at the same time - his instrument, transfer the natural and the only unique tool, not him by inheritance, but not bought in a salon or purchased at the auction, not as a rare violin from the "State Collection" and issued to him by God. And treated the gift of grace, when the going gets tough, the master of his master, he insists on his tireless service owners, labor and welfare, as self-restraint, and sometimes sacrifice. Determine his physical condition, his volatile moods not only the fate of the singer's career, but also everyday mood: when the singer "not in his voice," it probably means that he's "not in the spirit." But what feels for an elevator and lift the bracket still modest vocal gift when his voice is completely subject to his will, he is easy and natural to breathe suddenly in the virtuoso coloratura, as the delight of music lovers easy access to strong, rich , triumphant and brilliant "extras"! And the bigger the artist, the more his voice his full representative instantly recognizable among thousands of voices of a particular color, the. Peculiar to him by a single tone Finally, a voice can be like a finely-organized tool like a living thing be different: light, airy - and thick, as with metal, filled seductive, sensual - and coolly intellectual, gentle, soft-coated - and aggressive, sharp, piercing, naked expressive. Mary's voice Maksakova I would define as follows: This is a smart voice. He has an uncanny ability to change and made happy, depending on the nature of the work. In the first section, "Rondo Vittel" from the opera "La Clemenza di Tito" by Mozart, he radiates warmth and simplicity at first, the first replaced gloomy lowercase and then all progressive mental confusion. In solar Rossini arias, flexible over whimsical grace virtuosic cadenzas, he froths and sparkles authentic Italian brio. The "Ave Maria" by Schubert's voice in prayer meditation rises to heights nadzvezdnye and like all surrounding space fills its awesome concentration and immeasurable love. Hopelessness protest, humility, and it is a sad emptiness in other Schubert's masterpiece - "Gretchen at the Spinning Wheel". Dark, thick, spicy, passionate pokoryayusche contralto notes is a singer for his idiosyncratic Carmen. With disarming confidence, sincere and simple running Maksakova songs by Tchaikovsky and textbook "Tatyana's Letter Scene" from "Eugene Onegin". "The scene writing", in my opinion - one of the best performances of the singer. It can be seen very clearly that special quality of the national culture that defines Berdyaev as a "modesty creativity." This quality is evident in Glinka music, poetry and prose of Pushkin, Lermontov, Chekhov's stories and plays, paintings by Levitan, Stanislavsky Theatre. There is no place fanciful frills, one-sided bias, emotional extremes, gloss, pompous rhetoric, self-sufficient virtuosity, and above all - Author self-centered, artistic self important, self-satisfied admired their unique abilities. Quite the contrary - it is always ready to serve the art, and what about art: the humble pursuit of the original harmony of the external and internal, of "beauty without many colors", the desire for authentic expression. It is this desire and make the voice of Maria Maksakova so smart and fit, so flexible and malleable, it fills him with genuine charm - authentic charm. B. Borodin, Doctor of Arts, Professor
