Instrumental music biography

Alexander Skryabin. The life and work of the Skryabin family belonged to the Moscow noble intelligentsia.

Parents did not happen, however, to play a noticeable role in the life and the education of their brilliant son, born on January 6. Mother soon died of tuberculosis, and father - a lawyer was a lot of time doing his business. Sasha’s musical hearing and memory struck others. From an early age, he was eager to easily reproduce the music he heard once, choosing it on the piano or other instruments that came to hand.

But the most beloved instrument of little Scriabin was the piano. Not yet knowing the notes, he could spend many hours behind him, to the point that he wiped the soles on the shoes with pedals. It’s all the more offensive that he could not be quite happy, since he constantly considered his work unreasonably during his lifetime. Anton Grigoryevich Rubinstein was born in the Podolsk province on November 28.

From the age of two- or three, until the age of eleven, the boy lived in Moscow Arthur Tateum. Life and work of Arthur Thatum was born in the year in Tolyido, Ohio in the family of a mechanic. Tatum had innate cataracts in both eyes. According to Rex Stuart, a series of operations somewhat restored the vision of one eye. Arthur could distinguish between colors, contours of objects. He made a lot of effort so as not to seem blind, but in fact he was.

There are several versions about how Tatum began playing the piano. The same Stewart writes that in three years he selected religious hymns by hearing. Be that as it may, he mastered the piano very early, because he had already played at parties by a teenager. Already at that time, Tateum had excellent equipment. Arturo Benedetti Michelandi. A man-handing of anyone from the notable musicians of the 20th century did not develop so many legends, so many incredible stories were not told.

Michelandzi received the titles “Man-Extend”, “Ball of Secrets”, “The most incomprehensible artist of our time”. Valery Gergiev. The man of the century. Part 1 inspiration ... This word applies to this person in everything. Performed by inspiration himself, he sincerely conveys this feeling and condition to others, inspiring with his art, creativity, activity, life.

I must admit that this ability is not given to many. This gift is special, rare. To serve art, not vanity, not committing a “feat”, but realizing that it is otherwise not capable of, not to yawn before the audience applause, but to receive them in response to a disinterested desire to give themselves completely, without a trace, affecting the public with your faith and love for music and, finally, convincing that it is in this that there is a meaning and reality at the same time - all this about Valery Gergieva.

Part 2. From the beginning of the 10ths, the idea of ​​V. Gergiev was embodied about the cooperation of the Kirov Theater with foreign opera scenes of the world. The maestro has repeatedly emphasized the importance of this topic. I always believed that if the world switches to a system of borrowing all the best from each other, then our theater should seriously think about the concentration of efforts so that international performances appear on our scene.

This is possible only in the case of attracting world -class stars.
