Alexander Gradskiy opera "The Master and Margarita" was published

In an unfinished theater Alexander Gradskiy held private hear opera "The Master and Margarita", active in the Gradsky for almost 30 years. He played on the composition of the stars - unprecedented. Many of whom were involved in the shooting took this huge canvas. A accepted - only 57 actors in the roles, most of which - the recognized star. Try some list: Nikolai Fomenko (cows), Lolita (Hella), Joseph Kobzon (Caiaphas), Vladimir Matorin (Aphranius), Maxim Kucherenko (Secretary of Pilate), Alexei Petrenko (Council Layer), Love Kazarnovskaya (wife Hog) Andrei Makarevich (Juice Bartender), Alexander Kutikov (Controller), Eugene Margulis (as Torgsin), Valery Zolotukhin (Barefoot), Alexander Rosenbaum (Stravinsky), Tatiana Antsiferova (Nurse), Vladimir Zeldin (Ahriman), Maxim Leonids (Lavrovich) Alex Courtney (Latunsky), Elena Kamburova (Lapshennikova), Oleg Tabakov (Sempleyarov), Lyudmila Kasatkina (wife Sempleyarova), Larissa Golubkina (a relative), Grigory Leps (drivers), Soso Pavliashvili (Man in Variety), Bujnov (Head of CID), Leonid Yarmolnik (Guardian), Gennady Khazanov (buyer) and many others. But still sings and chorus ensemble. Alexandrov, and a children's choir "Mandragora" gusset. Release all the main role, but Alexander took Gradsky itself. He leads the Master Yeshua, Voland and even cat Behemoth. Libretto justifies this step because the protagonist holds when acting in different roles. In opera, there is no dramatic fragments. The text, which takes place from direct quotations from Bulgakov's novel "was or was not" verse Paul Grushko and Zongo Gradsky be recited or sung recitative. We should be the musical part. Computer assembly and orchestration done Dmitry Ryabtsev. Symphony Orchestra played pieces p / u Vladimir Simkin. As the guest stars were Jivan Gasparyan, Igor Butman, recognition Yusupov, etc. The presentation began with a demonstration of Alexander Gradsky freshly printed album, "Just yesterday," says the author, who came from the press. The album of the show in the audience applause happened. - For the first time I see this book, there is applause - not missed the irony Andrei Makarevich comment. Gradski was brief and modest: - We have a great list of artists. I will not thank everyone. I want to make it easier -. Thanks to all Everything worked out of friendship reasons, the very rare in our time. Ask all participants to get up! Each participating selflessly in the recording of the opera artists Gradsky handed a copy. Pretty hard - in the box was a clumsy book with libretto and 4 CD. If in the space of the opera are included, and the projection of the text libretto brought very quickly realized that it desperately needed to hear the opera, with a libretto by his eyes. Design and Decoration has Andrei Makarevich and his wife Natalia. Signed material was powerful, but very uneven. Own melody and intonation is Alexander Gradskiy lost under the pressure of heavy Posted by foreign tunes. It is no exaggeration to say that the author of the music in this opera, much less than the quotes and rap neavtorskoy familiar music. Generous borrowing music of Mussorgsky, Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev, Soloviev Gray, Rossini, Handel, Verdi, Kalman, Steiner, Offenbach, Strauss, are Pokrass continuous flow. This is not the "Gypsy" and other folk and folk substance almost like the famous musical "Chicago" and you mention "Cabaret". Quotes so much that listening turns immediately Puzzle: Where Gradsky took this song, but then where? Perhaps this mystery did not honor the work of a 30-year experience. If Gradsky finds the strength to compose their own music, add up really good luck. Several Zongo in the opera as lyrical monologues Wizards is probably present in the golden fund of songs Gradskiy. They are ready for a concert performance. The song "Call to Azazello" - incredibly happy champion. In general, the opera "The Master and Margarita" is an artifact of life on his own. Due to the abundance of secondary characters who speak a few sentences and disappear forever, in this form are not brought to the theater. Even the presentation of the records could not even reach half of the participants stellar record. Alexander Gradsky set out to bring your singing prose texts to Bulgakov. The most complex task. Unambiguous success because it not have been. In an ironic heat on those lines, for example, Ivan Homeless ". About the hegemon Pontius on mental repair me" The abundance of jargon, the Bulgakov cram sing for text colorful life hero a listen sloppy. Gradski deliberately favor of poetic komikovaniya, farce in the spirit of early Shostakovich. But mostly comic effect is not constructive - for example, with the melody of "The Internationale," the obituary Berlioz MASSOLIT on behalf of members. The choir under the direction of ... Master - "Moscow Special your favorite activity": Or tune "Moscow in May" ("Morning colors delicate flowers ..."), to mock anthem vodka. Particular difficulties listening libretto without sight. Gradskiy singing strong and beautiful, but it's so much that no libretto is not understood by the person who sings now Maestro - Master, Woland, Yeshua? Even more so, according to the text of Bulgakov, the libretto constantly changing scene and the main characters. If they have a Gradsky also flawless singing in terms of intonation, -. Artificially turns to read on the libretto, to understand, to hear where and with whom the action Moreover, it is impossible to do without reading the notes - in audio with no signs of significant events: took Margaret, Margarita shoot all and miss everything turned Behemoth eats some shad ... Star employee record gives generously to creative shoots soil. Kobzon-Caiaphas sings staccato sentences, it is not immediately obvious (which is already happening), but perfect. Lolita Gella leprosy, so it is very happy to see this Gell on stage. Fomenko-crust usually unrecognizable most of his remarks, and the sound is more like Atamansha "Bremen Town Musicians". Rosenbaum, Stravinsky shows real operatic voice and looks very dignified, also near the big bass Motorin Aphranius immediately when all the quail. But Makarevich bartender rustles her sad song sturgeon of the second freshness is so authentic that it's time to remember the restaurant business. Leps driver had no time to open up to the end in his brief monologue, but Zolotukhin, Barefoot - created in his element, and it immediately a three-dimensional background of his character. Oleg Tabakov speed entertainer quite recognizable, and it works very becoming. Satan before the ball sounds crazy beautiful saxophone solo Butman. And he mixed the ball to the melodies Khachaturian, "Chicago", Verdi, and then stumbled on the themes of Strauss. However, there Gradsky mocks himself: "So much Verdi was safe until his death that he wrote it." Arrangements of "Master and Margarita" deserves mention. Oh, ingenuity and sophistication - not bland author. Most of the instrumental soundtrack is pretty cheesy chanson bilobate bit, which sometimes overlap and orchestra, and Butman, and everything else. Jivan Gasparyan the duduk Piercing also manages all lined up on the same ruthless restaurant pritopa-prihlop. Expected from work for a period of 30 years was, of course, far more musicality. Not always clear choice of artists. Say, not a great creative successes in fulfilling the role of Margarita Elena Minin become - washed-related lyrical heroine without character. But it could only be discovered in the process. However Voland, singing tenor - is unfounded nonsense. Pilate is also a young man with a high voice that is dissonant with old nevyrezannym text of his age. Instead, if the opera? Time will tell. Obviously, we are facing a massive epic, which includes many discoveries and achievements. Undisputed masterpiece, it is also to be unlikely. However, this is not the fate of all, without exception, tried to approach the text by Mikhail Bulgakov "Master and Margarita"? .. Vadim Ponomarev, "News of show business"
