Aleksandr Kaliyanov

The star of Russian chanson Alexander Kalyanov was born at the end of August 1947 in the Bryansk region, in the town of Unecha. His parents worked all their lives as teachers at the local city school N ° 2, from which Sasha himself graduated with a silver medal.

The father of the future singer Ivan Efimovich over the years of work rose to the post of director of his native educational institution. His work was awarded the highest pedagogical award - Honored Teacher of the Russian Federation. Alexander Kalyanov has an older sister.

From an early age, the boy had two hobbies: music and technology. He could not determine what he really wanted to devote his life to. He received his higher education at the Radio Engineering Institute of the city of Taganrog, after which he worked for seven years at a plant in Bryansk, which was engaged in the assembly of radio equipment.

Such work allowed him to engage in the invention of various devices for musical performers at his leisure. Alexander Kalyanov showed a real inventive talent. Domestic musicians have used his devices for many years in a row and were satisfied.

Alexander considers the "Electronics" mixing console to be his original and best invention, a special device for connecting a phonogram while singing live. Kalyanov invented it at the dawn of his sound engineering career, which he began after leaving the factory. The small and lightweight device was very easy to set up with just a few buttons. It allowed the singer's sounds to reach the desired pitch if the performer was out of tune or simply out of tune. "Electronics" made it possible to accurately reproduce the necessary sounds when needed, and it was inexpensive.

Columns can be considered another successful invention of the young Kulibin. Unlike its western counterparts, the Soviet version had small dimensions, low weight and powerful sound amplification.

At the end of the 70s, a promising sound engineer was invited to cooperate by one of the leading groups of that time, Six Young. The collective existed on the basis of the Elista Philharmonic, and for several years of its work it became an "alma mater" for many future Russian pop stars, such as Nikolai Rastorguev, Sergei Sarychev, Alexander Rosenbaum, Valery Kipelov, Tatiana Markova. The musical group toured the country a lot, and it needed its own competent specialists, which turned out to be Alexander Kalyanov.

On tour in Kazan, the group "Six Young" was noticed by Vladimir Vysotsky. He invited the young musicians to make a joint program. The updated line-up began to give several concerts a month as part of an all-Union tour. Each of these performances was accompanied by full houses, so that the musicians had to be guarded by special outfits of the mounted police. At this time, a strong friendship between the popular bard and the future singer of Russian chanson began.

In honor of his friend, a few years later, Alexander Kalyanov will directly take part in a concert dedicated to Vysotsky's anniversary. For the event, which took place in the Olimpiyskiy sports complex, Kalyanov recorded all cover versions of the songs of the great bard at his recording studio free of charge. Subsequently, these musical compositions were released as a separate disc, and the concert was shown on the central channels of Russia.

In addition to the "Six Young" team, Alexander Kalyanov tries himself in other musical groups: "Leisya, Song", "Red Poppies", "Carnival", "Phoenix". In the early 80s, Alla Pugacheva noticed the talented sound engineer and invites him to collaborate with her group “Recital”, which was created in 1980 on the basis of the former instrumental group of the Prima Donna “Rhythm”. The participants of "Recital" were later famous songwriters and producers, such as Yury Shakhnazarov, Igor Nikolaev, Ruslan Gorobets, Alexander Levshin, Pavel Zhagun.

It was on the basis of this group that, with the light hand of Alla Borisovna, Kalyanov created in 1984 a private recording studio "Ton" and became a sound producer for many Russian pop stars. In the same year, on the recommendation of Pugacheva and Nikolaev, Alexander begins his solo career. The songs that were included in the first album "Fresh Smell of Lindens" were the musical compositions of Igor Nikolaev: "Angel", "Be Healthy, Friend", "Naked Goddess". He composed them especially for his friend, who, according to the young composer, had an unusual timbre of voice.

The album immediately became popular among music lovers, and the name of Alexander Kalyanov entered the ranks of Soviet pop performers. Since then, Kalyanov calls Alla Pugacheva and Igor Nikolaev his parents in the art of performing.

With the musicians of the Recital group, Kalyanov recorded several more albums until he began his solo career in 1992. Until the beginning of the 90s, the singer's records were released, such as "Old Cafe", "Taganka", "Museum of Love". Alexander Kalyanov's debut on television was his performance of the song "Old Cafe" in 1988 at the "Christmas Meetings" by Pugacheva. After this song, the whole country recognized and fell in love with the musician. The composition "Old Cafe" itself came to Kalyanov from a little-known author Vyacheslav Gorbatov.

Despite the fact that many of Alexander Kalyanov's musician friends did not believe in her at the time, this song still remains a hit. The "Old Cafe" is not only not consumed by listeners, but is also included in the repertoire of many restaurant singers, which testifies to the people's love for it. In the same year, a video was created for this song, in which all the friends and colleagues of the musician took part: Alla Pugacheva, Igor Nikolaev, Vladimir Presnyakov Sr. This video was filmed on an amateur video camera by the music editor of "Morning Mail" Marta Mogilevskaya.

Another famous song of the initial singing period of Kalyanov is the musical composition "Taganka". It was composed by Pavel Zhagun, who at that time worked as a trumpet player in the Recital collective. After leaving the Pugacheva group, Pavel changed his occupation and became the director of the "Moral Code".

Kalyanov records all his collections at his studio. The singer himself has never composed songs, he performs with the works of other authors. Among the composers with whom Kalyanov worked, the most famous were I. Nikolaev, R. Gorobets, A. Morozov, V. Presnyakov Sr., I. Krutoy.

In addition to famous composers, Kalyanov is taken to perform works by unknown authors who themselves find him at concerts. This is how the song "Kukushechka" appeared, which was presented to the singer by his less famous colleague from Yekaterinburg, acting under the pseudonym Papa Raj.

In addition to his singing career, Alexander Kalyanov is actively involved in sound engineering. More than 50 performers and about 20 musical groups have recorded their discs at the Ton studio. Singers such as Andrei Makarevich, Boris Moiseev, Valery Syutkin, Valery Leontiev, Vladimir Kuzmin, Diana Gurtskaya, Irina Allegrova and others collaborated with Kalyanov. Also, the famous performer of the chanson has worked with the musical groups "A Studio", "Moral Code", "White Eagle", "Bravo", "Nepara".

The creative biography of the singer in the dashing 90s flourished due to the increased popularity of the genre of Russian chanson. The artist at this time records a lot, regularly tours the country. Some of the popular songs of this period are considered "The Prodigal Son", "Wife, Wife ...", "Beyond the Cordon", "Night Patrol", "Lyubka the One-Man", "I and Vasya".

The artist is invited to the cinema, in 1997 he took part in the filming of the film "The Newest Adventures of Buratino", in which he played the old man Carlo.

In the 2000s, the already formed artist received a number of awards from the country's leading music awards. Many times Alexander Kalyanov becomes a laureate of the Chanson of the Year. He was celebrated in 2002, 2010 and 2011 for the musical compositions "Old Cafe", "Come back, friends" and "Beautiful woman".

The singer was recognized as a Cavalier of the Public National Academy Prize, which recognizes the merits of Russian citizens. In 2012, Alexander Kalyanov received the status of the Legend of the Russian Chanson, performing in the project of the same name, which took place in the capital of the Middle Urals.

Currently, the artist is still actively touring, performing at group concerts. In 2016, Alexander Kalyanov's anniversary program "Old Cafe" was published, which included the most famous musical compositions of the past.

Alexander Kalyanov has been happily married for a long time. He has been living with his wife Alexandra for over 30 years.

Sasha followed in his father's footsteps, he became a sound engineer and worked for a long time at the "Ton-studio". In addition to Sasha's son, the Kalyanovs have no more children.
