BG says goodbye to say, "Hello!"

It is believed that the traditional MAT concerts "aquarium" - a meeting of those who heard loved BG in the 70s and 80s. Concerts leading Grebenshikov employees a new and better songs and songs that have not been played since. 28th May Team not change the tradition and played a concert "for old friends." Nevertheless, club gigs, where BG can sometimes make simple to perform, and "theater" or "the Kremlin" concerts "Aquarium" - it is said, "are very different." A seating area Moscow Art Theatre. Bitter and specific audience its effect, and there is no way around it. It seems the song is about the same to be played, and the musicians play the same, and the energy is different. And you can not say that any more concerts, and those worse: they are just different. In fact, if we decide to meet with old friends, then the allusions, which relate to a period of 70 and 80, it was inevitable. Once we decide to meet up with old friends, then the allusions that relate to a period of 70 and 80, it was impossible to avoid Grebenshikov welcomes Hall phrase koan: "The day is hot and quiet today, but still!" - And musical composition rolled on rails. And the fact that a sound that night was, in fact, at least three: the new "Aquarium", the old "Aquarium" and another story - Celtic "Aquarium". The image of the legendary lost his beard and glittering crown Grebenshikov time is the game without the usual points when all at least until the early nineties. BG looked like this during the concert of "Russian Album". Another of the allusions to the old days of old friends. Friends have also matured over the years, down, took her place in life and came to the idol of the youth listen to, in comfortable chairs Auditorium. Polkontserta sits Grebenshikov, plays in the first half of the 2000th Song of the album "The Day After Tomorrow," "Beauty - a powerful force," "Folk Song of Palamos", "Fog on the Yangtze River", and the whole block of songs from their latest album "White Horse" - that the public gratitude, but is reserved. Laconically Grebenshikov this evening: "Many of the things I'd like to tell you, but I want to say much more than words. Here the music is very helpful" The only exceptions are the story of a recent song "Akuna Matata" on how confessed Boris, he received a letter, in which the author talks about how the song will help him to live: if careful to indicate remaining guests that it is time know honor, he puts this song, and everything is understood and leave immediately. . "That's the idea - says Grebenshikov - Not to say" goodbye ", it is impossible to say" hello "And after a pause:" ...! If you know what I mean! Musical Ring "General laughter. Further allusion to the eighties, the last question mark, nabivshim-year-old singer and the sound" "in the 86 years," Boris, what your, songs you want? "It should be said that the evening was full of a healthy self-irony of such moments. Why should only the sudden appearance on the scene of Andrei Tropillo, avid rock movement 80, write the first great album "Aquarium" in his studio, recites into the microphone: "Not a word, a man live, but by every word from the mouth of the BG. " Peculiar reminiscence of "national rock guru" who Grebenshikov already accepted, obviously tired. In numerous interviews that the Guru, he can not be just because the students imagine that not to accept someone explain Not word lives a man, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the BG passes when new songs with songs from the eighties, the room comes alive: "My Star", "tree", "Tea" (Grebenshikov, as in ancient times, plays himself on harmonica), perform "Jungle" (with a passionate African percussion solo Bowl) "Hurricane". People are asked to perform the old hits like "Train of water", but a pleasant surprise have discovered the possibility of yet another facet of the collective - Celtic - the rapid flowering, indicating that last the regular structure of the "Aquarium" in year, the Irish flutist Brian Finnegan connected. This was self-sufficient musician should be discussed separately. Brian received wide publicity and unspoken title of "outstanding flutists modern Celtic music," as the party of "Flook", which for 13 years and died in the past year. And while the music lovers, fans of Irish folk collective mourning, Finnegan Grebenshchikov and Co. joined in the past year as part of the project "International Aquarium" were recruited to a group of musicians from Ireland, India, Poland. Since Brian and tours with the "Aquarium" to enrich the sound of their flutes and add the track team Celtic flavor. His solos won, melodic echoes with multi "Aquarium" Igor Timofeev the hearts of the Russian fans and put them on Finnegan lay group touching the nickname "man-pipe." Now the program of concerts there and solo numbers from the repertoire of Brian "Flook" which, of course, brings with a new cellist Alexei Zilina, the concert band sound fresh approach and opens new opportunities for development. And in combination with atmospheric keys Boris Rubekin, magical guitar Igor Timofeev and stunning lighting solution concert numbers and everything worked alchemy other leading viewers to a new, deeper understanding of the role of music. The Apotheosis of the concert and the upper Grebenshchikovsky was purely self-irony, as the last song of the main program to sing the text, "God is light and in him is no darkness!" - Grebenshikov was on a dark stage in the fan-white headlights rushing at him and created a halo around performer, and repeated in the silence of this line twice. Those who do not remember the dialogue hero Stanislav Govorukhin Banananom the boy from the film "Assa" - Grebenshikov? Who is that? - God. Glow comes from him. God. Glow leaves him then retired musician, and after five minutes of applause, the audience was already warmed up are back with a stunning solo instrumental numbers Finnegan "Thee tunes", the end of which appeared on the stage and Grebenshikov. True, this did not dance Celtic motif, as he had done at other concerts tour: to select audience in the hall. A few more hits: "spectacle" of the new classic "Aquarium" with flute loud Finnegan and Timofeev, lyrical "Dubrovsky" the cello at Zilina, "Rhinestone" and tersely, as if the word "rock" is on the wall of Notre lady pulled in Hugo, "Falcon" with a big end, melodically reminiscent of the theme song from "Twin Peaks". Without words. Says it all in the music. "Burn and back!" Curtain. The audience applauds standing. Third and 4 June "Aquarium" is playing at the legendary Saint Petersburg Palace of Culture.
