As a live recording company "Melody"

Recording Company "Melody" - the same brand of loud the USSR as "Soviet Champagne". But in recent years, saying that the incumbent record is moribund. It turned out that this is not the case. Founded Yeltsin gave the Queen Studio Company 23rd April 1964. As a joint stock company for production, storage and distribution of sound recordings A problem was posed as follows: combined into one system all the recording studio, factory records. The era of total control over everything and everyone spawned other state monopoly. Audio flocked here from all parts of the country, and was known in a short time stamp "Melody", you have records with her label in every Soviet family. My greatest pride was impressive archive radio broadcasts. And all of these size laminar almost collapsed after the Soviet Union. Began a period of ten years, of which the company's employees prefer to forget. The biggest blow to the established system caused their own leaders, the decision in 1993 to sign a contract with a major record company BMG. Western colleagues were most interested in our classical heritage, which came immediately for a song in the West. Great efforts have succeeded to break the contract until 2003. Under these circumstances, chain stores "Melodies" is not required, and they were allowed to privatize. Had a hand in the history of the brand and the legendary Soviet Boris Yeltsin. Russia's first president made a sweeping gesture - Britain's Queen Elizabeth II gave at the Resurrection Catholic Cathedral Lane Capital, a unique studio of "Melody" is housed. - Apparently, Boris did not know the true "price of the issue," even as a generous gift to the state bill. Well, here is the Church of England. For our company, leaving 200 meter area and identified a small passage for the employee, but each time we are faced with different obstacles. Their pastor, we can not bear it - daluetsya "interlocutor" deputy. General Director of "Melody" Karina Abrahamyan. Restorer working day lasts four hours, however, was the most valuable saved the "Ringtones". It is a rich archive: more than 60,000 unique records - sound domestic and world history of art of the twentieth century. All records are stored on the tapes, which is eventually deteriorate. Restoration work on their only four people. This is not only the CEO, but the real reconstruction. In a month, on average, about 20 can digitize source - it all depends on the degree of preservation of the film. - Change of director and restorer takes only four hours. Longer just a human ear is not able to perceive the nuances of sound. Work hard, but creative - shared Soviet pop star daughter Valeria Obodzinsky, named after the father of Valeria. - I'm here to restore writing dream father brought. Daughter of the famous reader in the Soviet era Dmitry Zhuravlev (he was a teacher of actors Oleg Tabakov, Valentine Gaft Filozov Albert, and many others) are also very pleased that the recording of her father reprinted. They were willing to not only stop royalty-appeal legal heirs, but even offered to pay extra, "if only my father's voice rang out again." But such cases are unfortunately rare. Often heirs who do not want to say not in the record, to redeem him, and demand a high fee for permission to reprint. - We can not do much. Our drives are 150-200 rubles, and only a hundred pirated copies. If we pay high fees, the disc will rise in price, and people will buy the pirates - said Karen Abrahamyan. Former office "Melodies" on Tverskaya street in a building of the XIX century, long overdue renovation. Last year, heavily flooded areas. Instead of patching the building next decided thorough and company moved to Karamyshevskaya water do. First, the move from the center of Moscow is very upset people, but then "melodic" appreciate the advantages of the new place of residence. Finally, before the archive is stored separately from the main building, near the metro station "Kiev". Often had to travel from one place to another. Well, on the first floor houses the archive and jobs for the directors of the Restoration, and the second - the administrative unit. The unexpected movement occurs only when the "Melody" resumed activities and explained in the Russian market as a serious competitor ever to today's labels. To the company's management heard rumors that many recording studios are affected sales reborn brand. Most Popular stories that many accustomed from childhood and are buying for their children and grandchildren. Re-release of the old fairy tales - this is a unique opportunity to hear again the many talented artists who are no longer alive. Vitsin other, Papa Nova, and Rumyanova Last fall, have the "Music" decided to publish the stories of Michael Zoshchenko Sergei Jurassic performed. - When the director to have to work, it became clear that the film has not survived. It's not so bad - if you can take professional skill with vinyl. And so we get this record, and there is a 12-Shostakovich Symphony - remembers with horror Abrahamyan. - We had a shock, we did not understand how this happened and what to do next. Jurassic recalled that she was a copy of the Leningrad Recording Studio. There was found, they sent us, and the disc is left. We assume that this was a robbery. Vinyl clog courts is well known that the story moves in a circle. Getting rid guide "Melodies" old records, you wear them on a cart to the neighboring bins. Then our lives actively introduced CDs and vinyl, it seemed to disappear forever. Absorbs most of the garbage Union Recording Studio. Only thanks ZhEKam, stirred so clogged territory a small part of what collectors are willing to pay a lot of money left. Today the company is releasing vinyl dream again and look for foreign partners, as published in Russia no more plants capable of plates. Incidentally Andrei Makarevich: first official album released unofficially - Several times we have been to "Melody" put their drives, but we are regularly wound. After Gorbachev, Perestroika began as they all run around, and began to publish what was previously forbidden. At one point, they called me and said that the stores sold our record, "Good luck", followed by "Melody" was published. It turned out that they. Precisely this record of our shows, what we wrote in underground studios and published, also not with us That's how we see the first official records.
