Alexander Gradski - "curiosities"

Last album Alexander Gradskiy out back in 2003. Therefore, for such a long time is one of the founders of the National Rock had plenty of time to work on new ideas and forms of music in the spirit of the time. CD. A.Gradsky and MTKMO 2011th Genre: Art song is strange that the cover of the publication of "curiosities" will be made in such a minimalist style: in gray album name is written in black letters. However, something sinister design brightens the white strips of paper glued to the back. Inscription that the disc "contains profanity and insults." Exaggerated with mats and a few swear words Alexander. Concentration of swear words in some tracks very off-scale. Alexander Gradski - "curiosities" Tracklist Gradsky Alexander - "curiosities": 1 song ("I took the liberty to write a song ...") 2 Love Song ("Somebody thought ...") 3 Song of the allegorical ( "I, I am not a hero of this country ...") 4 Galich ("The fact that the place was ...") 5 Sports (about the Olympics ...) 6 Drinking ("Warped destiny ...") in July 2000 year8 song like all of the songs ("It's still life goes on ...") ballad 9 of the "Charter" guard (1991) 10 Romance ("Where have you been - still waiting ..." 11) Song for you ("The State Land fascinated ...") 12 Russian poem (in St. Petersburg wants to shoot ...) As for the music, it made me glad rich orchestral arrangements and scope. Involved by recording were Symphony Orchestra, the National Academic Folk Orchestra of Russia, Children's Choir "Mandragora" and the chorus of the Red Academic Song and Dance Ensemble of the Russian Army Alexandrov. In addition to the symphony, and it is worth noting that the new songs of Alexander Gradskiy musically. Together with the work of Vertinsky and Galich One of the songs on the legendary bard, and is called - "Galich." And the song "Where you been you," said the best remembered of the texts Vertinsky. Symphonic scale emphasizes clarity, sincerity and depth of experience lyrical hero. However, not all songs are rich orchestral resources to the melody. Sound like "Ballad of the weary guard" would be much better. Under a simple guitar accompaniment The song "Warped destiny" that uses very strong resemblance to Michael Tariverdiev melodies, in the new arrangement sounds quite different from the soundtrack to the film "Irony of Fate". Of the tracks that have become the potential for big hits, divided into three launch titles -. "Chanson", "Love Song", "The Song of the allegorical" The song "2000" was already popular ten years ago, and in the track list, Alexander Gradsky seems out of place. Author's satirical talent is most evident in the composition of "Drinking Song" and "Sport". It is a pity that Alexander Gradsky presented to the public only symphonic versions of songs. Double-disc edition with two versions - acoustic guitar and studio with rich arrangements, it would be a wonderful gift for the fans. However, concerts Alexander fully compensate for all this.
