Russian tenor Michael Kotlyar - not just the owner of a unique taste, but also the unique style of the modern dandy. For a long time managed to work in France and the United States, Michael purely Russian, demanding to keep soul and so much to touch the soul vocal style. We met with the song James Bond, about his vision of contemporary pop, really masculine style and of course, to learn plans for the future. Michael Kotlyar - She played in different parts of the world, when he lived and worked in France. What's different level of musical culture and perception of singing as an art in different countries? - In my view, Europe is now dominant in the culture. Europe - The Mecca of the bourgeois in the best sense of the word. Now to appreciate this bourgeois culture and try to many Americans. The subtle perception of classical music and performance tenors, I think the French, followed by the Italians. Are do simplification, but Americans in general, and the ground like pop stars, the products very high quality - in American culture, the most important trend. American singers are literally living in a studio. You understand that the fans can not be forced to love you, be without any effort. Pop music has been built in the U.S. to a whole different level than ours. Every American musical product - hard work of a whole team of professionals, and not a one-time financial investment and massive advertising attack as it is, unfortunately, often the case in modern Russia. But the age of the Russian pop-night short-lived. And not the fault of incompetent producers or fickleness of the public. If a singer is really worth something, it is always like, anywhere. - And what about the place, opera and classical music in general, occupy in today's Russia? - Russia has traditionally had a very high level of craftsmanship of classical music. I think Russia has a long and consistently ranks first in the performance abilities. Our country has created many real gems of world culture. However, in modern conditions, even this talent is extremely difficult to find a place in the sun because of its art and creativity. Opera will now be forced into a format that the first year studies. And this is mainly due to the fact that it is very expensive to do a show. Many of our first-class actors just do not have the financial means. Now to find an investor and philanthropist, very difficult, and many producers are interested in short-term rewards, and are therefore available to support projects aimed at a mass audience. Therefore, performance art in Russia is not profitable, it is not necessary, we have included no expertise in the price. - Why are so many people now want to "stars", known to be a singer? Why is the universal yearning for popularity in modern society? - Why does a person who wants to be popular, complex and ambiguous. Some are by the opportunity to meet their aspirations to rise above the crowd, easy fame get dressed "phony." However, with age and experience life in a different perspective on the popularity and fame. I need an audience, because to be useful and I want to help others. This very useful and more artist-by-night stars. When I need to feel her when I hear and read rave reviews of the fans, I know how lucky I am in this life. Singing - is terribly hard work, but it was him - my element. - Could you describe your creative plans? - I am currently working on an album, "In the same breath," which, I believe, that fits closely to my current state of mind. I realized that the eclectic - it's not for me. I do not want to be sprayed on the little things, so I decided fully on my musical elements - classical tenor repertoire gems. For me at the moment over a period of his own music, which I was very glad for some time. My creative vision again fully recognized classics. Great music of the greatest composers to sing always fun. Now I feel a real flowering of creative ideas and a strong wave of creative energy, as I am sure that the tenor, like a fine wine'm due in 50 years. Now I feel a real flowering of creative ideas and a strong wave of creative energy, as I am sure that the tenor, like a good wine matures in 50 years am - Classical for you - it's a lifestyle In everyday life you prefer this style, such as clothing? - Yes, you can in the clothes I prefer a classic men's style, in a casual atmosphere make classic casual. For me the most important details are a good designer, attention to detail accessories. I've always been close, high fashion. At different times, I was the person, the collection of Yves Saint Laurent, Kiton talked a lot and worked with Pierre Cardin, Jean-Paul Gaultier. I close my French and Italian designers. Now I collect some accessories like cufflinks, unusual straps, chest scarves. Partial to a good shoe. I'm sure one another in every human art and creativity fashion. Executive style can not exist in isolation from his work. Style, as well as music - is an understanding, a sense of peace. - What do you do to always be in shape? - Runs in the morning, riding, martial arts - for me it is the bare minimum to stay in shape. Singing - it's a huge labor. Tenors fill huge energy costs through increased supply. However, leads a surplus, including catering to distortions.'s Natural balance and harmony So I try to exercise moderation in diet and compensate culinary moments of weakness stick increased physical exercise. Now I can be wrung out 70 times per minute at all times and in every situation, and recently a bet wring out 100 times per minute. - Do you often attend various social events? - Now social events have ceased to be interesting for me. The real joy for me - spending time with family and friends. Over time, find that the true value of this minute, because of the free time I did not so much. So why should I spend it with a few friends or people? Not to me, and not with the family
