On Saturday, October 25, at the age of 67, an outstanding singer and composer Muslim Magomayev died in Moscow. Recently, Magomayev was seriously ill, he had heart problems. In a recent interview, answering the question - why did he stop performing? - Magomayev replied: "I said a long time ago that I was leaving. It is better to leave with dignity when you are remembered singing."

In Soviet times, he was one of the most popular pop singers, he really was the idol of millions - without any exaggeration. Fans adored him, and he reciprocated them. It is known that during his tour of the Union republics, Magomayev spoke to the public many times .. from hotel balconies; after all, his concerts were always held at constant full houses, and not a single hall could accommodate an entire city.

Muslim Magomayev was born on August 17, 1942 in Baku. He graduated from a music school in piano, then a music school, after - the Baku Conservatory in vocal class. For the first time Magomaev was noticed at the youth festival in Helsinki in 1962, where he became a laureate for performing songs "Buchenwald alarm" and "Do Russians Want Wars". In 1963, Magomayev literally conquered Moscow with his concerts. The success was resounding. He was fluent not only in pop, but also in opera material. In 1964, he left for a one-year internship at Milan's La Scala Opera House.

After Milan, he performed in the largest cities of the Soviet Union in the performances of Tosca and The Barber of Seville. In 1966 and 1969, Magomayev's tours were held with great success at the famous Olympia Theater in Paris. The singer participated in all major government concerts and festive programs on Soviet television. Secretary General of the Communist Party Leonid Brezhnev especially liked to listen to an Italian song performed by him "Bella, ciao". The voice of Magomayev is sung by the character Troubadour in the popular cartoon "In the footsteps of the Bremen town musicians" (1973) love serenade. In 1982, the singer played the main role in the feature film directed by Eldar Kuliev "Nizami".

Robert Rozhdestvensky, on whose verses Magomayev performed many songs, including "As long as I remember, I live", in 1980 he wrote: "I attended many concerts in which Muslim Magomayev sang, and there was never a case when the presenter had time to give the full name and surname of the artist. Usually, after the name "Muslim", such a standing ovation is heard that, despite on the most powerful speakers and all the efforts of the host, the name "Magomaev" is hopelessly drowning in an enthusiastic roar. They are used to it. As they are used to the fact that his name has long become a kind of landmark of our art. And also to the fact that any opera aria, any song he performs is always an expected miracle."

Muslim Magomayev's discography includes more than 45 records, as well as 15 CDs, including "Thank you" (1995), "Arias from operas and musicals. Neapolitan songs" (1996), "Soviet pop stars. Muslim Magomayev. The best "(2001)," Love is my song. Dreamland "(2001), and others.

On Saturday, the famous singer Iosif Kobzon told RIA Novosti: “The brightest page in the last half century has slammed shut. We didn’t have a more talented person. For those who knew him, they will be a reminder of the great talent of Muslim Magomayev, and for those who did not know him, they will be a revelation of his talent."

In turn, opera singer Paata Burchuladze, in an interview with the agency, noted: “Muslim Magomayev has always been the standard of love, friendship and a good relationship between people. I bowed to him, and the news of his death had a very strong effect on me ... This is a huge a loss for all of us. He was loved by all, whether they knew him personally or not."

On Saturday, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin expressed their condolences to the singer's family and friends. "Muslim Magomayev will forever remain in our memory as a real "star", as a symbol of an entire era. He generously gave his talent, his brilliant talent to people, and therefore he was sincerely loved. This is a great, irreparable loss for all of us, for our national culture, " - says the telegram of the Prime Minister, sent to the wife of the singer Tamara Sinyavskaya.

Last year, before his 65th birthday, in an interview with Novye Izvestiya, People's Artist of the USSR Magomayev said that he was not paid pensions either in Russia or in Azerbaijan: “I don’t have any pension in Russia. so long ago. I lived all my life in Moscow as a Bakuvian, married to a Muscovite Tamara Sinyavskaya. And I received Russian citizenship relatively recently. I even turned to Geidar Alievich about this (Heydar Aliyev, President of Azerbaijan in 1993-2000, - "Lenta.ru "). Since then, we have been receiving a certain bonus from Baku every month. This is not a pension, but a kind of gesture of the state for popularizing the republic and the people."

In 1966 and 1969, Muslim Magomayev's tour of the famous Olympia theater in Paris was a great success. The director of Olympia, Bruno Coquatrices, wanted to get Magomayev for another year and offered him a contract, promising to make him an international star. The singer seriously considered such an opportunity, but the Ministry of Culture of the USSR refused, citing the fact that Magomayev should perform at government concerts.

In 1969, at the festival in Sopot, Magomayev received the 1st prize, and at Cannes, the Golden Record.

In 1973, at the age of 31, he was awarded the title of People's Artist of the USSR. From 1975 to 1989, Magomayev was the artistic director of the Azerbaijan State Variety Symphony Orchestra, which he created, with which he toured extensively in the USSR.

In the 60s and 70s, Magomayev's popularity in the USSR was limitless: stadiums of many thousands, endless tours throughout the Soviet Union, constant appearances on television. Records with his songs came out in huge circulation. To this day, he remains an idol for many generations of people in the post-Soviet space.

Magomayev's concert repertoire includes more than 600 works (Russian romances, classical, pop and Neapolitan songs); he starred in the films: "Nizami", "Muslim Magomayev Sings" and "Moscow in Notes". Muslim Magomayev is the author of more than 20 songs, music for films. He is also the author and presenter of a TV series about the life and work of the American singer Mario Lanza; wrote a book about this singer.

Muslim Magometovich (Mohammed ogly) Magomayev (Azerb. Müslüm Məhəmməd oğlu Maqomayev). Born on August 17, 1942 in Baku - died on October 25, 2008 in Moscow. Soviet, Azerbaijani and Russian opera and pop singer (baritone), composer. People's Artist of the USSR (1973).

Father - Magomet Magomayev, artist, son of the famous Azerbaijani composer, founder of Azerbaijani classical music Muslim Magomayev (now the musical philharmonic society in Baku bears his name). Father's mother (Baghdagul-Jamal) was a Tatar.

Mother - Aishet Akhmedovna (stage name - Kinzhalova), dramatic actress. Her father was a Turk, and her mother had Adyghe and Russian roots.

Muslim Magomayev considered himself an Azerbaijani. He said: "Azerbaijan is my father, Russia is my mother."

Muslim Magomayev hardly remembered his father - he died at the front near Berlin, three days before the end of the war.

Mother, having lost her husband, chose a theatrical career and went to Vyshny Volochek, then to Murmansk, where she worked in the Murmansk Regional Drama Theater and remarried. On the mother's side, Muslim has a brother, Yuri, and a sister, Tatyana.

Muslim grew up in the family of his uncle Jamal Muslimovich Magomayev.

The singer said about his childhood: “The post-war fate of my mother turned out so that she found another family. I can’t blame her for anything. She is a dramatic actress, she always wandered around the cities of Russia, never working for a long time in any theater.

My father's brother Jamaletdin Magomaev and his wife Maria Ivanovna became real parents for me. They were smart people and amazingly read a lot. Orders in our family were strictly observed. Uncle was a convinced communist, honest and incorruptible. At a time when my tutor held high government positions, an unworthy nephew was asked at school from time to time not to wear a pioneer tie. This did not upset me: the tie seemed to me, first of all, an uncomfortable thing, it choked me and all the time strove to get into the inkwell with its ends.

Despite the fact that my uncle was a high-ranking person, I was not spoiled. I had toys, normal conditions for studying and playing music, but no frills. I remember when I started begging my aunt for money, she refused: "When you grow up, you will earn money yourself, then you will understand how the money comes."

He studied at the music school at the Baku Conservatory (now the secondary special music school named after Bulbul) in piano and composition.

The talented student was noticed by the professor of the conservatory cellist Vladimir Anshelevich, who began to give him lessons. Anshelevich did not set the voice, but showed how to fillet it. The experience gained in the classes with the cellist professor came in handy later when Magomayev began working on the part of Figaro in The Barber of Seville.

Since the school did not have a vocal department, Muslim was admitted to the Asaf Zeynalli Baku Music College in 1956, studied with the teacher Alexander Milovanov and his long-term accompanist Tamara Kretingen, which he graduated in 1959.

His first performance took place in Baku, in the House of Culture of Baku Sailors, where fifteen-year-old Muslim went in secret from his family. The family was against Muslim's early performances because of the risk of losing his voice. However, Muslim himself decided that his voice had already been formed and that he was not in danger of losing his voice.

In 1961, Magomayev made his debut in the professional Song and Dance Ensemble of the Baku Military District. In 1962, Magomayev became a laureate of the World Festival of Youth and Students in Helsinki for his performance of the song "Buchenwald Alarm".

All-Union fame came after his performance in the Kremlin Palace of Congresses at the final concert of the Azerbaijani Art Festival in 1962.

The first solo concert of Muslim Magomayev took place on November 10, 1963 in the Concert Hall. Tchaikovsky.

In 1963, Magomayev became a soloist with the Azerbaijan Opera and Ballet Theater named after. Akhundov, continues to perform on the concert stage.

In 1964-1965 he trained at the Milan theater "La Scala" (Italy).

In the 1960s, he performed in the largest cities of the Soviet Union in the performances of Tosca and The Barber of Seville (Maria Bieshu was among the partners). He did not accept the offer to join the troupe of the Bolshoi Theater, not wanting to limit himself to opera performances.

In 1966 and 1969, Muslim Magomayev's tour of the famous Olympia theater in Paris was a great success. The director of Olympia, Bruno Coquatrix, offered Magomayev a contract for a year, promising to make him an international star. The singer seriously considered such an opportunity, but the Ministry of Culture of the USSR refused, citing the fact that Magomayev should perform at government concerts.

In the late 1960s, having learned that the Rostov Philharmonic was experiencing financial difficulties, and the Song and Dance Ensemble of the Don Cossacks did not have decent costumes for the planned tour in Moscow, Magomayev agreed to help by performing in Rostov-on-Don at a crowded local stadium, accommodating 45 thousand people. It was planned that Magomayev would perform in only one department, but he spent more than two hours on stage. For this performance, he was paid 606 rubles, instead of 202 rubles, which were then laid down by law for speaking in one department. The administrators assured him that such a rate was quite legal and approved by the Ministry of Culture, but this turned out not to be the case. This speech became the reason for initiating a criminal case through the OBHSS.

When this was reported to Magomayev, who spoke at the Paris Olympia, the emigrant circles offered him to stay, but Magomayev chose to return to the USSR, because he could not imagine life away from his homeland and understood that emigration could put his relatives in a difficult situation in the USSR.

Although the proceedings did not reveal any fault of Magomayev, who signed for the money received in the official statement, nevertheless, the USSR Ministry of Culture forbade Magomayev to perform on tour outside of Azerbaijan. Using his free time, Magomayev passed all the exams and graduated from the Baku Conservatory in the singing class of Shovket Mammadova only in 1968. The disgrace of Magomayev ended after the chairman of the KGB of the USSR personally called Ekaterina Furtseva and demanded that Magomayev perform at a concert on the occasion of the anniversary of the KGB, saying that everything was clean with Magomayev through the KGB.

What do you think of Muslim Magomayev? We are waiting for your comments.

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

Tours of the Soviet star in France, East Germany, Finland, Poland and Bulgaria brought millions of profits to the country. He was applauded at the famous Olympia in Paris and invited to stay in the prosperous West, but Magomayev did not succumb to temptation and returned to his homeland.

In 1997, a minor planet in the solar system was given the name 4980 Magomaev, paying tribute to the earth's star.

Childhood and youth

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 Kinzhalova. 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 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 a better education.

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

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

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

The boy's successes at 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 the highest scores, but in physics, chemistry and mathematics, according to Magomayev, he "turned off the brain."

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

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

Music

The creative biography of the artist began in his hometown in the House of Culture of Baku sailors. The Magomayev family was afraid for his voice and forbade Muslim to perform in full force, but the 15-year-old young man went on stage secretly from his family, breaking 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 1963, the first solo concert of the singer was held in the concert hall named after him. In Baku, Magomayev became a soloist with the Azerbaijan Opera and Ballet Theater named after Akhundov. In 1964, the vocalist went on an internship at the La Scala theater in Milan for 2 years.

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 be limited to the opera.

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

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

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

In Sopot in 1969, Muslim Magomayev won the first prize at the International Festival, in Cannes the International Festival of Recording and Music Publications awarded him the Golden Disc for millions of records. At 31, the singer becomes not only the People's Artist of the Azerbaijan SSR, but also the People's Artist of the USSR.

Since 1975, Muslim Magomayev led the created pop-symphony orchestra for 14 years. He toured with musicians until 1989 in the USSR and foreign countries. Magomayev managed to popularize modern Western trends, which in those years did not approve of the top party leadership of the USSR. In the performance of the singer in the Soviet Union for the first time sounded the hit of the group "The Beatles" Yesterday.

Songs performed by Muslim Magometovich on verses occupy a special place in the work of the star. The compositions "Wedding", "The Best City of the Earth", "Ferris Wheel", "Illuminated by the Sun", "Nocturne" are so bright and expressive that they were remembered by the listeners "on the fly".

Magomayev's hit "Beauty Queen" was inspired by Babajanyan by the Yerevan beauty contest held in the 60s. The song was in the lead according to the results of the "Best Song of 1965" contest.

Poems for the poignant song "Blue Eternity" were written to the singer by a friend, Gennady Kozlovsky from Baku, who moved to Moscow in 1971, and since 1979, at the suggestion of Magomayev, worked as the director of the Variety Symphony Orchestra of Azerbaijan.

The fate of some songs performed by Magomayev was not easy. The hit "The Best City on Earth" to the words and music of Arno Babajanyan was broadcast on the radio for a month, but he saw in the song "the pernicious trend of the West" and with the words "Twist about Moscow? Forbid! instructed to remove the hit from the air. The song was "rehabilitated" shortly after Khrushchev's removal from the post of First Secretary of the Central Committee.

In 2013, at the celebration of the 866th anniversary of the capital, Magomayev's hit became the leitmotif of the celebration.

The song "We Can't Live Without Each Other" to the words performed by Muslim Magomayev is still a hit today. The same can be said about the hits of the 70s "Snow is falling" and "Ray of the golden sun." The last composition sounds in the sequel to the animated film "The Bremen Town Musicians", where it is presented as a Troubadour's serenade.

The peak of Muslim Magomayev's musical career falls on the 60s and 70s. The singer collected stadiums in the cities of the USSR, he was received with admiration by the concert and opera stages of the world.

In 1998, Muslim Magomayev stopped performing on stage. He said that each talent has its own time, which cannot be stepped over. The artist devoted the last decade to painting, lived in Moscow, communicated with fans through a website.

For decades, the artist was friends with the President of Azerbaijan, Heydar Aliyev. After the death of a friend in 2003, Muslim Magomayev withdrew. A sick heart and lungs bothered the star more and more often. But according to his wife Tamara Sinyavskaya, Muslim Magometovich smoked three packs of cigarettes a day. The singer quarreled with the Minister of Culture of Azerbaijan, Polad Bulbul-ogly, and criticized his policy in the cultural sphere of the country. In 2005, Magomayev accepted Russian citizenship, but considered himself an Azerbaijani and was a member of the leadership of an all-Russian public organization that united the Azerbaijani diaspora of the Russian Federation.

In 2007, Magomayev wrote the last song "Farewell, Baku!" to verses.

Personal life

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

In 1972, Muslim began an affair with a singer. They met and fell in love in Baku, at 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 withstood the test of separation: after Tamara's one-year internship in Italy, the couple met and never parted.

In November 1974, Muslim Magomayev married a 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 spouses to give in to each other. But love cemented the marriage forever, and after violent quarrels and short partings, the lovers wrote a new page in their 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, barbecued on the Caspian coast. In spring and summer, the couple lived in a dacha near Moscow, where they grew a picturesque garden and equipped an alpine hill. Muslim Magometovich drew, composed arrangements and music.

Daughter Marina inherited her father's musical gift: the girl graduated from a music school in piano, 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. With her husband Alexander Kozlovsky (the son of Gennady Kozlovsky, who wrote the lyrics for Magomayev's song Blue Eternity), she lives in America. Marina gave Allen's grandson to her father during her lifetime.

Death

At the age of 60, Magomayev left the stage: his illness worsened. The soloist could not lead the same way of life, perform on stage and tour.

On October 25, 2008, Muslim Magometovich Magomayev died, he died in the arms of his wife Tamara Sinyavskaya. The cause of death of the great singer was coronary heart disease and atherosclerosis.

The farewell ceremony for the great artist took place in the Concert Hall named after him in the capital. Magomayev's ashes were delivered to his native Baku and buried on the Alley of Honor, where the famous grandfather Abdul-Muslim Magomayev rests.
