When a talented person achieves success, those around them treat this fact with understanding. At the same time, no one really thinks about what trials he had to go through. Vladimir Vasilyevich Nazarov appeared on the all-Union stage like a meteor from dark space. Natural charm and colossal performance are the basis of all his achievements.
Childhood and youth
According to the tradition that has developed on Russian soil, parents give all their strength and opportunity to "put on the wing" of their children. In this sense, the fate of Vladimir Nazarov clearly fits into the usual matrix. In the biography of the future composer and director, it is noted that he was born on February 24, 1952 in an ordinary Soviet family. Parents lived in a small town in the south of the Dnipropetrovsk region. My father worked as a driver. The mother worked in a hospital. The boy was the second of three children. From an early age they prepared him for an independent life. They taught me to work and to be neat in everyday life.
At an early age, Vladimir was no different from his friends with whom he spent time on the street. However, as he grew up, he dressed like a dandy. And he still demonstrates examples of taste and elegance in clothing. Nazarov studied well at school. Having received a certificate of eight years of education, he entered a music school. After completing his studies with honors without much effort, he entered the Dnepropetrovsk music school. And everything would have ended well, but the student had a conflict with the director. Volodya was kicked out with a bang and immediately drafted into the army. He had to learn from his own experience that military service is not sugar.
After demobilization Nazarov and his comrade decided to "conquer" Moscow. For young people at all times it was commonplace. In this situation, Vladimir had a button accordion. By some miracle, he was lucky enough to get a job as an entertainer in a recreation center near Moscow. It was here that his professional career began and his personal life took shape. Soon, a young and observant accordion player noticed an interesting girl among the vacationers. And the next day he made her the most serious proposal. However, in those days, the girls were serious too - to the call of an unfamiliar, albeit attractive guy, Lida responded with a polite refusal.
Astrologers and psychologists are still wondering what kind of providence led Nazarov along the route of life. After a short period of time, the young registered their relationship with the registry office. The husband and wife rented a room, from the window of which one could see the capital's institute of culture. It was in this educational institution that Vladimir entered in the summer of 1974. The student Nazarov took up his studies with his usual energy and imagination. Already in his second year, he organized an original ensemble of folk instruments. The uniqueness of the musical group was that the guys played on old horns, zhaleikas, trinkets. The group began to be called - "Zhaleika".
Work days
In the course of their studies, even without a full specialized education, students received public recognition and critics. The real reason was that musical groups like Zhaleika simply did not exist in the Soviet Union. If, somewhere in the outback, pipes were still used at weddings and get-togethers, then there was nothing to talk about the professional level. Some psychologists assumed that Vladimir Nazarov, with his original work, awakened the deep genetic memory of the people. Moreover, the ensemble made a splash with their performances in France and other European countries.
To enhance the impression of the sound of the "nozzles", the musicians had stage costumes, similar to those worn by the serf artists of Count Sheremetyev. In 1978, Nazarov graduated from the Institute of Culture and devoted himself to creativity without a trace. A year later, the ensemble became a laureate of the All-Union Folk Music Competition in Leningrad. And then he went on a tour of Cuba. At that time, a youth festival of Latin American countries was being held in Havana. It should be especially noted that on all trips the performers searched for and found rare instruments, recorded melodies and songs. Unpretentious melodies after professional processing got a completely different sound.
"Zhaleika" was often invited to group concerts and joint performances. Cooperation with the famous Russian Song ensemble, led by Nadezhda Babkina, turned out to be very fruitful. And so, bit by bit, a repertoire was assembled, which no longer fit into the usual form. Taking into account the current situation, Vladimir Nazarov makes a decision to transform Zhaleika. In 1982 the Folklore Music Ensemble was formed. More than two hundred instruments have been collected in the new format. Accordingly, more extensive works and arrangements were required. The composition of the performers has also changed. The new program entitled "About Love in All Languages" is warmly received in different cities and countries.
Musical Theatre
If you look at the daily schedule of Vladimir Nazarov, you might be surprised - how does he manage to do everything? And where does his ideas and strength come from? In 1993 he graduated from GITIS and received the specialty of a director. After that, Nazarov began systematic preparation for the next stage of his work. A few years later, the Minister of Culture of the Russian Federation signed an order on the creation of the Musical Theater of National Art. Needless to say, who made the main contribution to this project.
It must be said that the official document of the Ministry of Culture only consolidated the new status of the collective. By this point, preparations had been going on for a long time. In the very first months, the audience was presented with the play "Russian Frescoes of the Twentieth Century". Then a large-scale festival of national art was held, to which representatives of all CIS countries were invited. This is a very important event, which served to preserve the common cultural space of the fraternal peoples.
