Boris Grebenshikov realized dream

Legendary Russian rock musician Boris Grebenshikov and his group "Aquarium" on Monday night played in the famous Royal Albert Hall in London. The concert lasted nearly three hours. Sam, 53, Grebenshikov, who often wrote his own songs and performed in London, gave the journalists before the performance that the play at the Royal Albert Hall was his dream. On this page, in different years were famous classical musicians and modern rock star - Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Elton John, Sting, Paul McCartney and many others. Speech before filling more than half a hall for 5500 places can viewed as a success-filled speech before more than half the audience of 5,500 seats can be considered a success, as the Albert Hall is not always possible to the seats at concerts abroad fill musicians who are not widely known in the UK. Perhaps by the fact that the tickets for the concert were distributed free of charge and by appointment helped. Most of those who came to the concert were raznolikuyu Russian-speaking community in Britain, but in the hall and there were many British and people from other countries, according to RIA Novosti. Organizing a concert in London on taking a famous Indian philosopher, poet and composer Sri Chinmoy, the Grebenshikov met last year during a trip to Malaysia. It is fond of Eastern philosophy Grebenshikov quickly good relations with Sri Chinmoy and he received his spiritual name "Purushottam" which means "soul-bird in a heart-sky." Now it is not BG, and Boris "Purushottam" Grebenshikov has performed together with his musicians for the audience long songs "Ficus religious", "Three Sisters", "Last Exit", "The fastest plane" all (from the album "Navigator "1995 known), released" Adelaide "and" Silver of my Lord "(album" Equinox ", 1987) and a few new songs from the last year the album" Careless Russian tramp. " Program, although it was of songs from different years, has become a surprisingly organic and harmonious. The applause showed that they recognized the familiar songs from the first chord. The first part of the concert was a lyrical and serene. At some point, took place for quite a few songs in the darkness, and the actor, sitting in front of a burning candle, his glasses with red lenses. The second branch was much more energy, really rock 'n' roll spirit and drive, with constantly changing lighting moods and dedication of the musicians. Grebenshikov interrupted only once, when the guitar aside, took the microphone and walked to the edge of the stage, performing an ironic song "On the meaning of all things." Then all spectators for a surprise - it was the scene of a group of about 30 singers - men and women dressed in colorful saris and white shirts. They performed two songs written specifically in honor of BG. One of them was a repetition in different ways chanted the name Purushottam, and another - in English, with the refrain: "Boris, Boris Grebenshikov" with a characteristic emphasis on the "o" in the word "Boris" - caused an outbreak of laughter and applause from the audience. Came on the scene in the "encore" musician "Aquarium" and then played three songs, starting with the famous "Rock and Roll Is Dead" from the early 1980s. However Grebenshikov seems willing not to follow this line, and its sequel - "But I'm not," thanked the Londoners for the warm welcome and a promise to return to them.
