Kanchely biography

People's Artist of the USSR Wolf The originality of the music of G. Kancheli, to whom the above lines are devoted to the marginal openness of the style with its strict selectivity, national soil with the universal human significance of artistic ideas, the violent life of emotions with the lifting of their expression, simplicity with depth, and accessibility with exciting novelty. Such a combination seems to be paradoxical only with a verbal retelling, but the very formation of music by the Georgian author is always organic, soldered by alive, song -song intonation.

This is an artistic reflection of the modern world in its complex disharmony. I am grateful to fate for our communication continues. Gia Kancheli. About the future and the past. Maybe this is not striking and is not clearly heard. If the new art is truly valuable, then, of course, the layers of already past eras can be found in it. In life, as if everything changes, but, unfortunately, nothing changes.

Cruelty remains in the same robe. The only thing, in connection with the development of modern technologies, it becomes more sophisticated. And good, it seems to me, does not change. It’s just that good does not have the power that is endowed with cruelty. But, despite this, it is always able to somehow confront her. "Gia Kancheli was born and raised in Tbilisi, in the family of a doctor.

The midwife of Grandmiased that Gia would be happy and composer because of the unusual form of ears and beautiful hands. At the end of the Second World War, my father, the head of the military hospital, was transferred to Kharkov, so that I studied his family there for several months. I graduated from the school at one time to the university at the geological faculty, because you did not pass the entrance exams to the music school, which you have not been characterized by pluses and minuses.

I passed the reception exam to the conservatory. Therefore, I am grateful for the fact that at the entrance exam I was a low assessment, thanks to which I had to forget about music for some time. But it was impossible to forget her. In those days, I was fond of jazz, this hobby continues now, although in this area I work very rarely, only if I need a theater or cinema.

”I graduated from the University of Tbilisi's geological faculty. In the evening in the tent, lying from fatigue, I urgently compiled a list of professions that did not require walking and knowledge of mathematics. The music was suitable for all the parameters to me, being students of the conservative, began to understand, began to understand, That, in addition to Shostakovich, whom we thoroughly studied, and the late Prokofiev, there is still a whole world of music, which we had no idea about it during the “thaw”, this information began to go to Moscow, in Leningrad, and only then it settled in Transcaucasia: in the conservatory of Baku, Yerevan, Tbilini worked.

He sent me on one kilometer tape tape all the work of Anton Weberne. And it was a discovery for me. At the same time, I listened to Pierre Boulez, who had an absolutely opposite effect on me - I really did not like this music. So gradually this “thaw” began to give some positive sprouts, but this hope disappeared very quickly, because then the so-called years of stagnation followed.

I will not tell you about everything that I had to endure at that time, but probably the sadness that exists in my music is connected with this. Although I have to write joyful music in the cinema and the theater, because the authors of performances or films want it. "She was married to the director of the opera Theater Boris Grigoryevich Ponomarenko. And so he helped us with the rooms at the Intourist Hotel, and then the director of the Odessa Opera Theater helped with the hotel in his city.

We sailed from Odessa, from where we sailed to Batumi, from where They returned to Tbilisi after almost 40 years, this waltz appeared on a disk with my movie - and theatrical music the only one that I came out in Georgia - they sing it there. The strange coincidence took place: the poem of our great poet Galaxation Tabidze completely led to my melody. "A class of instrumentation classes taught at the Tbilisi Conservatory from the year.

From the year he was the head of the musical part of the theater named after the 7th Symphony Gia Kancheli. Music for dramatic performances, in Rustaveli,; new Gorky in Leningrad,; new Gorky in Leningrad,; "Caucasian Circle" Music to the films, in Caudes, "Mimino" Robert Robertovich Sturua.In this Sturua Theater, along with his permanent co-authors-the artist George Alexi-Meshishvili and the composer Giya Kancheli, carried out a number of outstanding productions that received a recognition far beyond Georgia, including B.

Caucasian Cretaceous Konstantin Ivanovich Maharadze, the famous Soviet and Georgian sports commentator, actor, actor, actor, actor The theater and cinema of the composer was connected by close friendship. In the opera “Music for the Living”, the choir of boys sings in a long -dead Sumerian language. I did not want the listeners to strain themselves and try to make out what the children were singing about the plot, it did not matter.

Now everyone is concentrated exclusively on music. "For example, at my request, he introduced the choir of boys who sing in the extinct Sumerian language. Sturua came up with an opera in the opera. During the First World War, the La Scala Theater went to a military hospital. On the stage there is such a melodrama in Italian, which is tragically interrupted - a bomb enters the hospital and those He survived, finish this opera.

" Music for films. Another question is, it turns out or not. Life turned out so that I was less busy with household issues that, as it were, did not exist for me - my spouse fenced me to Valentine, everyone calls the musical name of Lulia. And I am very grateful to fate. The only thing: I did not refuse to write music to bad films. In all, I have about TI, but I do not remember the name and content.

I knew that these tapes are one-day, but I wrote to earn money that made it possible for me to feel some kind of material independence. "And if you ask me to name me now, I can remember seven or eight. Work in the theater was remembered more, since most of my works for the scene are associated with Robert Sturua. And they were so bright and interesting, that even now, many of them are no longer, many of them are no longer.

Remember. " Once I wrote the work "Bright Sorrow." Dzhansug Kahidze played this thing in the Great Hall of the Leningrad Philharmonic. This essay is written for Kurt Mazur, who just in the middle of the x was the chief conductor of the Leipzig Orchestra Gevandhaus. Recently in Brussels there was one of these memorial concerts. It was a concert advertising composed of the works of Kshishtof Penderetsky, Dmitry Shostakovich and my work “Bright Sorrow”.

Georgy Nikolaevich Danelia. Soviet, Georgian, Russian actor, film director and screenwriter. Friendship - from the end of the 10ths. Danelia about the music for Kin-dza-dza in Kin-dza-dza there is a number-the music of aliens. The culture on the planet where our heroes got in full decline, even speech came to the two words: ku and kyu. And the music performed by the aliens by the UEF and Bi Leonov and Yakovlev should be very primitive and very nasty - approximately like a razor on the glass.

Kanchely wrote a melody. I said that it was suitable, but we must simplify. Here and so a complete primitive. Gia with disgust played a simplified version of the piano. The next day they began to record music in the studio. They called only two musicians. The magnificent pianist Igor Nazukuk, I work with him all the time, was looking for unpleasant sounds in the synthesizer, and the violinist tried to play the violin poorly.

He suffered very much, listening to this cacophony. Too neutral. It should be worse, ”I said and took the violin.
