Alexander F. Sklyar played a solo performance Song Vertinsky

The other day when the 120th Anniversary of the birth of Alexander Vertinsky. Alexander F. Sklar, the last nine years, devoting much creativity balladeer of his time, could not miss this date in the middle of Meyerhold new solo program "Sarasate Concert" show consisting of songs Vertinsky. The action was not even as a concert, but a musical one-man show, and the Sklar was like a shining light dramatic monozhanra Alexander Filippenko. Music direction we have for a long time is a very entertaining and very simplified segment of popular culture (if, of course, opera and jazz). Perhaps only since Alexander Vertinsky. What Sklar Meyerhold Center made - is probably the only thing that modern music can fill their own serious art. Alexander Yusupov otodvinuvshy, to second place his work with the band "Va-Bank", sat down in the library, where he autobiographical books, articles, reviews contemporaries to read letters - everything connected with Vertinsky. Words such as "Jump" and "rethink" that works Sklar talks about his project, something that is not of his colleagues on the stage today. A program really makes driving and comprehend. It turned out to be deeper and more complex than previous experiments with Sklar Vertinsky (before he performed his songs along with Irina Bahusheusk or Gleb Samoilov of "Agatha Christie"). Alexander F. Sklyar Meyerhold Center, probably not very suitable for musical performances - with green paint bare brick walls, no private technical structures, some speakers and mainly painted it is not "musical" speakers. But since Sklar determined not only a singer but also a dramatic actor, as creativity Vertinsky and his life was, as they say, "not for everyone" show, because in the end, the program "Sarasate Concert", an experiment can be described as a result this site all looked gloomy organically. Sklar accompanist pianist (Sergei Burhan), the. Joined periodically violin "Romantic Quartet" and double bass Alexander Yusupov just picked up about 20 songs maestro, among them well-known ("Brazilian cruiser", "Yellow Angel") and rare (for example, a cycle Vertinsky "Seasons" composed "watercolor Chinese" from the song, "smoke without fire" and "Spanish Suite"). Sklar tried different poses, by a different mood, the soloist in the truest sense of the word - for example, effectively "add" two, depicting the hero of the "Black Dwarf", and perhaps the "light" of the selected tracks - "Song of the my wife "- so energetically performed passionately and powerfully that other heroes of the local theater scene and might envy. It was obvious that he's doing much hard the concert was for himself, and that capture the true happiness of every creative person, and even more advanced musicians. This is the capital moved aesthetically audience. Alexander Yusupov, very democratic and open in one's life is no secret that the most important "vertinovedom" Land of spodvig including the fact that much be in line with the fate of the crooner and his way of life. And the fate of the crooner was curious - he wrote songs about his wife, he loved his daughters out, but there were also some love. Sklar and very organic, the capacity of the public Vertinsky songs from his private letters from the cities, which combined to his wife, a girlfriend, a passing fan. Letters from Kiev, where he was born in Vladivostok, Omsk, where he spoke. The songs - especially feelings, ideals, and attitudes. The letters - nuances: hard cars, lack of food in restaurants and stores, the endless winter and desolation around, fatigue and depression. Surprising that Vertinsky somehow not bring the Soviet singer named, although the highlight of his career came in the Stalin years. He was also anti-Soviet. He managed to get out of the time, at a time when it was impossible. Maybe that's why he sing and listen Moscow XXI century continued. Text - "Novye Izvestia", photo - Svetlana Maltsev, NEWSmusic.ru
