Muslim Magomayev

The unique voice of Muslim Magomayev - a clear and clear baritone - is recognized from the first sounds by listeners of the older and middle generation, who were born and lived in the USSR. An opera and pop star, composer, People's Artist of the USSR delighted with creativity in the 60s, 70s and 80s. Many thousands of stadiums gathered for his concerts, and the records were released in millions of copies. The repertoire of Muslim Magomayev included 600 works, including arias, romances, pop hits.

Muslim Magomayev was born on August 17, 1942 in Baku. Father Magomet Magomayev died at the front, 15 days before the Great Victory. Before the war, Magomet Muslimovich worked as a theater artist. Muslim Magomayev's mother Aishet is a dramatic actress who took the pseudonym Kinzhalov. Turkish, Adyghe and Russian blood flowed in her veins. Muslim considered himself an Azerbaijani and Russia a mother. The grandfather of the future artist is the Azerbaijani composer Abdul-Muslim Magomayev, the founder of national classical music.

After the war, Muslim Magomayev and his mother went to Vyshny Volochek, where the actress Kinzhalova was thrown by her creative destiny. For a year the boy studied at a music school and became friends with his classmates, infecting the children with the idea of ​​creating a puppet theater. Muslim made puppets for performances himself. But Aishet sent her son to Baku, where, in her opinion, a musically gifted boy would receive the best education.

In Baku, Muslim Magomayev grew up in the family of his uncle Jamal Muslimovich. Mother from Vyshny Volochek moved to Murmansk, where she worked at a local drama theater. Aishet got married a second time and Muslim had a brother Yuri and a sister Tatyana.

In his hometown, the guy plunged into music. Muslim Magomayev spent hours listening to the "trophy" records of Enrico Caruso, Mattia Battistini and Titta Ruffo.

The family of the famous Azerbaijani singer Bulbul lived next door to his uncle, and Muslim listened to the star singing in the morning. Magomayev made friends with Bulbul's son Polad.

The boy's successes in the music school at the Baku Conservatory, where his uncle took him, turned out to be half-hearted: in piano, solfeggio and choir lessons, Muslim was given top marks, but in physics, chemistry and mathematics, according to Magomayev, his brain turned off.

Cellist and professor Vladimir Anshelevich noticed a talented student and took him under his wing. The mentor showed the young vocalist how to thin his voice. Soon the experience gained helped Muslim Magomayev in his work on the part of Figaro in the opera The Barber of Seville.

At the Baku Music College, the singer improved his vocals. Alexander Milovanov and accompanist Tamara Kretingen, who devoted her free time to the student, became his mentors. Magomayev was awarded the diploma in 1959.

Young students of the Baku Musical College sighed about the vociferous handsome Muslim Magomayev, but he gave preference to the young and charming Ophelia. The hasty marriage turned out to be a mistake: the couple parted after a year of marriage. Even the little daughter Marina did not save the young family.

In 1972, Muslim's romance with singer Tamara Sinyavskaya began. They met and fell in love in Baku, during the decade of Russian art. Tamara was a married woman, but the bonds of marriage turned out to be a weak obstacle for the outbreak of feelings. The love of Magomayev and Sinyavskaya endured the test of separation: after Tamara's one-year internship in Italy, the couple met and never parted.

In November 1974, Muslim Magomayev married the singer: the couple planned a modest celebration, but relatives and friends gave them a banquet in a metropolitan restaurant.

The couple's personal life turned out to be like a roller coaster: Magomayev and Sinyavskaya are two bright stars with strong characters, it was not easy for the spouses to yield to each other. But love cemented the marriage forever and after violent quarrels and short partings, the lovers wrote a new page of the relationship.

The last years of the singer's life were spent next to his beloved woman. Muslim Magomayev and Tamara Sinyavskaya often rested in Baku, barbecues were fried on the Caspian coast. In the spring and summer, the couple lived in a dacha near Moscow, where they grew a picturesque garden and equipped an alpine hill. Muslim Magometovich painted, composed arrangements and music.

Daughter Marina inherited her father's musical gift: the girl graduated from a music school in the piano class, but chose another profession not related to music and vocals. Marina maintained a warm relationship with her father until the last days of her life. She lives in America with her husband Alexander Kozlovsky (the son of Gennady Kozlovsky, who wrote poetry for Magomayev's song "Blue Eternity"). Marina gave Allen's grandson to her father during her lifetime.

The creative biography of the artist began in his hometown in the House of Culture of Baku sailors. The Magomayev family feared for his voice and forbade Muslim to perform at full strength, but the 15-year-old boy went on stage secretly from his family, getting the first applause. He managed to avoid a teenage voice mutation.

In 1961, Muslim Magomayev made his professional debut in the Song and Dance Ensemble of the Baku Military District. A year later, he sang the song "Buchenwald Alarm" and his talent was noted at the World Youth Festival in Helsinki. In the same year, in the Kremlin Palace of Congresses, the vocalist won all-Union fame by performing at the festival of Azerbaijani art.

In the mid-60s, Muslim Magomayev toured the cities of the Soviet Union with musical performances "The Barber of Seville" and "Tosca". A talented vocalist is invited to perform on the stage of the Bolshoi Theater, but Magomayev does not want to limit himself to the framework of the opera.

In the mid-60s, the singer toured Paris. The director of the famous "Olympia" Bruno Kokatrix, admired by Magomayev's talent, offered the singer a contract for a year. They predicted world fame for him, and Muslim Magomayev thought about the proposal. But everything was decided by the USSR Ministry of Culture: an Azerbaijani vocalist is indispensable at government concerts.

In Paris, the artist learned that a criminal case was opened against him in his homeland. To help the Don Cossack Song and Dance Ensemble, in the late 1960s, the singer performed in Rostov-on-Don at a 45,000-seat stadium. Instead of one planned department, Magomayev spent more than two hours on stage. He was paid a triple salary, assuring that there was no violation of the law and that the rate was approved by the Ministry of Culture. The singer was informed about the criminal prosecution under the OBKhSS during a concert at Olympia. Not wanting to expose his family to the blow, Muslim Magomayev did not succumb to the persuasion of the emigrants and returned to the USSR.

As a result of the court proceedings, Muslim Magomayev was banned from performing outside Azerbaijan. The singer took advantage of the free time that appeared and graduated from the Baku Conservatory in singing. The disgrace ended after the call of the chairman of the KGB of the USSR Yuri Andropov to the Minister of Culture Yekaterina Furtseva: Magomayev was invited to the anniversary concert of the department.

The fate of some songs performed by Magomayev turned out to be difficult. Shlyager "The best city of the Earth" to the words of Leonid Derbenev and music by Arno Babadzhanyan was broadcast on the radio for a month, but Nikita Khrushchev saw in the song "a pernicious spirit of the West" and with the words "Twist about Moscow? Deny! " gave instructions to remove the hit from the air. The song was "rehabilitated" soon after Khrushchev was removed from the post of First Secretary of the Central Committee.
