Phantom (April 29, 2003.)
Fragment of publication - Alexander Gradsky: "I remember too much!"
- Alexander, is it really true that in 2003 music lovers will hear your new - long-awaited! - disk "Khrestomatiya"?
- I was not in the studio for twelve years. That is, I went there to "clean" the concert recordings, and not to make new ones. All the rest of my CD-ROMs are remakes of what came out on vinyl records. The last original entry "Fruits from the Cemetery" dated the ninety-first year.
- What did the muse leave you for so long?
- And the FIG knows! Laziness ... I built a lot, devoted eleven years to the device of everyday life, began also for the construction of the theater.
- What then turned out to be stronger than laziness and pushed you to a new disk?
- Stupid story. I flew in an airplane to America. I talked to the fellow traveler. It turned out that Irina Volgin - a singer, naturally, Russian-speaking, lives in New York. She asked me to write her some songs - for the money. OK, let's try! I decided to write some simple things so that I could technically handle it. As a result I began to try to write, which I did not do for more than ten years. He started to compose, but simple songs do not compose (smiles). I showed Irina what happened, and she suddenly liked it, but did not embarrass the complexity.
- What kind of music is it, in which style?
- The task was to write music in a variety of ways to show the new singer from different sides. Seven completely different things happened. Something inspired by country music, something - my strange fantasy ... Irina was difficult to cope with all this. For almost a month I had to work with her, so that the girl could all technically sing it.
- So "Khrestomatiya" will be a disk of Volgina, not yours?
- Why? After working with Ira I had the thought: to sing the same things myself.
- But she also bought songs from you!
- We immediately had an arrangement that other singers could also sing them. Including the author. Otherwise, it would be a completely different money, if I sold everything on the vine. I received the minimum amount, which included a recording, an arrangement. I had another five or six ideas of my personal. As a result, her album will have seven of my things plus one other author, where I made the arrangement. And in my disk "Khrestomatiya" there will be twelve or thirteen things. Ira's record will soon be released in New York. My - later. If at first mine came out, I'm afraid its disks might not have sold out, but I want them to be bought because its album deserves it.
- Than Irina Volgin was so shocked by the maestro?
- Nothing. At first she just bought the works ... Ira is a good, pretty girl, a talented person. But most of all I'm grateful to her for making me work.
- Sorry, but this is not a love story ...
- None. Ira has a wonderful family, a wonderful husband, a charming daughter. And we just have a very good relationship.
Gradsky plans to conduct a presentation of the Khrestomatiya CD in September 2003, at the STUDIO club, at ul. Tverskaya, 10. Entrance is limited (Only by invitation personally from Gradsky).
