Vadim Ananyev folk. Terrible premonitions and miraculous rescues of the artists of the Alexandrov ensemble. A coincidence that saved a life

People's Artist Vadim Ananyev is the leading soloist of the Ensemble named after. Alexandrova has a surprisingly soft lyric tenor and a huge range. His special, magical performance of the famous "Kalinka" earned him the title "Mr. Kalinka", and Pope John Paul II teared up his performance at the Vatican. On the eve of the Ensemble's tour in Israel, Vadim Petrovich spoke about himself, the team and great art

Alexandrov, where he worked his way up from a choir artist to a leading soloist.

Vadim Ananyev's repertoire is enormous, his touring routes are endless, his fame knows no bounds. But behind all this is not only talent, but also daily colossal work.

Since childhood, I dreamed of being a singer and a military man, and my dream came true. I grew up listening to the songs of the Aleksandrovtsy, and when I was accepted into this legendary band, I was in seventh heaven. During my career I have sung to both presidents and kings. Performed "Kalinka" for John Paul II in the Vatican. After an exclusive concert, I was asked to approach the Pope and from his hands I received a silver medal. I remember the throne of John Paul II illuminated by a bright spotlight. It was very beautiful.

You have performed on all continents. How does the public react to the military ensemble?

The male choir acts magically: military, beautiful, all perfectly matched, with amazing voices. And the form has a hypnotizing effect. Sometimes there are situations when I perform with a civic orchestra, and when I go out to military uniform- what applause! I went out in a tailcoat, a tuxedo, and a suit, but this can’t compare with a jacket! For some reason, people are very inspired by the uniform; they perceive the art of a vocalist more emotionally.

Artists on tour often have funny incidents. Has anything funny happened to you or does this not happen in the Military Ensemble?

Why doesn't it happen? It happens... One of the first foreign trips was terrible funny incident. This was in the late 80s. We went as always with stew and a boiler. We saved travel allowances as best we could. And my roommate decided to boil water, put the mug on the table in the room, and a huge stain formed from the temperature. What to do? I really didn’t want to pay the fine in foreign currency! My colleague went to the market, got a saw somewhere and we sawed the table, packed it in some bags and carefully took it out of the hotel. The maid came in, looked around in bewilderment and asked - where is the table? We say - what table? There was no table here. She ran to the administrator. He asks, did anyone take the table out of such and such a room? The hotel administrator came and was surprised that there was no table in the room... So no one found out anything. And there was also funny story in Cuba. We were taken to the beach, a beautiful beach, sand, ocean, palm trees. And along this beach there walked an orchestra - a national one with guitars, a double bass, an accordion, all these... maracas... entertained the vacationers. I asked them - guys, do you know “Bessame mucho”? And right there I sang with them, and they accompanied me with pleasure. Everyone who was there came running!

Vadim Ananyev captivates the audience not only with the beauty of his timbre, but also with the sincerity of his performance. The Russian language is particularly popular with listeners. folk song"Kalinka", "Amapola" by the Spanish composer Lacalle, as well as "On a Sunny Meadow" and "Nightingales", "Roads", "Three Sisters".

An excerpt characterizing Ananyev, Vadim Petrovich

The rest of the infantry hurried across the bridge, forming a funnel at the entrance. Finally, all the carts passed, the crush became less, and the last battalion entered the bridge. Only the hussars of Denisov's squadron remained on the other side of the bridge against the enemy. The enemy, visible in the distance from the opposite mountain, from below, from the bridge, was not yet visible, since from the ravine along which the river flowed, the horizon ended at the opposite elevation no more than half a mile away. Ahead there was a desert, along which here and there groups of our traveling Cossacks were moving. Suddenly, on the opposite hill of the road, troops in blue hoods and artillery appeared. These were the French. The Cossack patrol trotted away downhill. All the officers and men of Denisov’s squadron, although they tried to talk about outsiders and look around, did not stop thinking only about what was there on the mountain, and constantly peered at the spots on the horizon, which they recognized as enemy troops. The weather cleared again in the afternoon, the sun set brightly over the Danube and the dark mountains surrounding it. It was quiet, and from that mountain the sounds of horns and screams of the enemy could occasionally be heard. There was no one between the squadron and the enemies, except for small patrols. An empty space, three hundred fathoms, separated them from him. The enemy stopped shooting, and the more clearly one felt that strict, menacing, impregnable and elusive line that separates the two enemy troops.

“My colleagues and friends flew there - a choir, about 50 people, a group of accordion and balalaika players. They were supposed to give one concert and return. I don’t know what to say yet, I hope for the best. But I myself didn’t fly family circumstances“My son, the third child in the family, was recently born, so I stayed at home to help my wife,” Komsomolskaya Pravda quotes Ananyev as saying.

“I approached the leader of the ensemble and asked to stay. In addition, there was supposed to be a performance tomorrow, so they decided to leave me and other soloists Valery Gavva and Boris Dyakov. And the rest of the choir all flew away,” said Ananyev.

He said he might have gone to Syria with other artists if it had been a series of performances rather than a small, hour-long concert that was planned at a military base.

"The usual program, 15 works, lasts an hour. One concert. If there were several concerts, I would not ask for time off, this is my job. I was in Chechnya, in Yugoslavia. I asked for time off from artistic director, he understood me. Now I’m standing in front of you, but I should have been flying,” he said in an interview with RT.

On the eve of his arrival in Kirov, Vadim Ananyev gave an exclusive interview

On February 4, the leading soloist of the Academic Song and Dance Ensemble of the Russian Army named after Alexandrov will perform at the Vyatka Philharmonic. But this concert might not have happened if Vadim Ananyev had boarded that plane that crashed near Sochi on the morning of December 25th. The singer miraculously survived - thanks to his wife and son, he did not fly with the choir to the performance. The tragedy that shocked the whole country left an indelible mark on Vadim’s soul, since his colleagues, many of whom he had worked with for 30 years, could not be brought back... In a conversation with a correspondent of the publication “The Source of Your City,” the singer shared his experiences and talked about plans for the future and introduced him in absentia to his large family.

Vadim Petrovich, what will you perform for the Kirov residents?
- The concert will feature mainly Soviet and folk songs, romances, as well as Neapolitan songs. I will perform something from the operetta, a little, fragmentarily. I’ve never been to Kirov before, this is my first time coming to see you, so if I have time, I’m thinking of going for a walk around the city. Unless, of course, it's cold. How is the weather there?

On February 4 they promise about minus 8...
- Fine. Let's hope it doesn't drop below minus 10, then we'll be able to go for a walk. If it's cold, I'll stay at the hotel.

Will you sing the songs you perform in the Alexandrov Ensemble?
- Yes, definitely. IN this moment Some songs have not been performed by the ensemble for ten years, but they are in the repertoire. Let’s say the song “Oh, you rye.” We have a very extensive repertoire, I perform the songs that I like best - “On a Sunny Meadow”, “Smuglyanka” and others.

Tell us, how are things going in the ensemble now?
- At the moment there is a competition for free places. Mostly people come to audition for the choir. The competition commission consists of 9 people, this famous people in Moscow, leaders creative teams. They conduct auditions from 11 am to 6 pm every day. I think they should recruit 30 people. It is possible that they will recruit more. I know that they have already hired 8 ballet dancers, and I think they will recruit another 10 people, and in principle the group will be able to work. But in order to restore the repertoire that the choir sang, to restore the dances that the ballet danced, it will take a lot of time. There will be no touring for now. The tour is planned to begin in May - we will fly to the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

I can’t help but ask you about the tragedy that occurred on December 25th. It was literally a miracle that you didn't end up on board that plane. Tell us why you stayed at home?
- I had a son not long ago, and in our family, besides him, there are two more small children. My wife very persistently asked me not to go on this trip. She was tired with three small children and needed my help. It happens that artists take time off for family reasons. I was allowed to stay with my family - I came to the general, and he released me from this trip. Some of the guys also miraculously survived - some had an expired passport, some got sick, some had a sick child. We are all human, and there are times when we need to stay home. And just like that, I was lucky... But for 30 years, do you know how many times I have flown on airplanes? And to Chechnya, and to Yugoslavia, to hot spots, and everything was fine... But the guys died here, in Russia... This is a great grief...

Tell us how you found out about the tragedy?
- My wife woke me up early in the morning, I was still sleeping then. They called from the Alexandrov Ensemble and reported that the plane had disappeared from the radar... I was simply killed by this news, it was very difficult for me for several days after that, I couldn’t find the words. I worked with some of the guys for 30 years, we had a very friendly group of soloists, we were family friends, we went to visit each other, our children communicated with each other... And now the children are left without fathers... I take them very close to This is grief in my heart and I share it with the families of the dead guys.

Our fellow countryman and your colleague Alexey Skachkov, who stayed at home due to illness, said that before the flight he had bad feelings. Have you had anything similar?
- Yes, I know Alexei, of course. We studied with him at the same time from the same teacher. You know, before every flight there is some kind of excitement - transport, planes. And it doesn’t matter whether it’s a military plane or a civilian airline, there is still excitement. There were cases when the landing gear did not come out, and there were problems with the steering wheels. When I was in Italy at the invitation of the Pope, and then flew from Rome to Moscow, kerosene poured out of the wing of the plane during takeoff. Of course, the problem was eliminated, everything turned out well. But you know, anything happened. Probably, pilots don’t fly as much as I have flown over these 30 years... I fly several dozen hours a month. Let's say Moscow-Sakhalin, back and forth - it's already 18 hours. You fly, you fly, but what to do, our life is like this, if you don’t fly, move around, then you’ll sit at home...

You have given concerts for kings, and for presidents, and for the Pope... Do you have any ritual before going on stage?
- Read the prayer, cross yourself and go. That's the whole ritual. You still need to tune in. Before going on stage, I don’t talk to anyone, I prepare mentally, I sing songs inside myself, I remember all the nuances, sometimes even the words - after all, I have to sing in Chinese, Korean, German, Italian, Czech, Slovak . There are many challenges, depending on what country you are in.

Abroad they call you “Mr. Kalinka.” How do you feel about this nickname?
- This was not invented by me, of course, but by the foreign public. She may not remember your last name, but she will remember the fact that you perform “Kalinka”. Before me there were other Mr. Kalinka - Belyaev, Vinogradov and others. So, this nickname is passed down from generation to generation.

Vadim Petrovich, I propose to talk again about the Kirov residents. You served in the army with our fellow countryman Oleg, who, in fact, organizes your arrival in Kirov...
- Yes, but we started contacting Oleg not so long ago, and now we call each other every evening. We have something to remember - we served together in Belarus in the missile forces for two years.

Tell us about your family. You are a father of many children, you have four children...
- Yes, yes, my wife Elena and I - the large family, and we even have benefits (Laughs.) Every morning I get up at 7 am and take my son Alexander, he is 5 years old, to kindergarten. And before going to work, I drop my daughter Anna off at school. She is now in 4th grade. Do you understand what the situation is? The wife is with the baby, and the baby is sleeping. In order for the wife to take her son to kindergarten, the baby needs to be woken up, dressed and wrapped, and placed in a stroller. And then if you take your daughter to school, then also only with the baby. There are certain difficulties, so I undoubtedly help her in everything. And my children are diversified. The eldest, Vladislav, he is now 27 years old, graduated from the Moscow Aviation Institute, and at the same time studied dancing. He is one of famous dancers in Moscow - the direction of tectonics, or electro-dance, which came from France. Vladislav has repeatedly won prizes at festivals and is a world champion in this dance. Now this is exactly what he is doing. Our Anya is fond of cross-country skating, I take her to the Ice Palace, and Sasha goes to judo. Well, Yuri is still just a baby, he recently turned 7 months old (Smiles.)

All free time dedicate it to your family?
- Yes! I'm a homebody, I love being with kids. My children are very active and love to move. It’s winter now, and not far from our house, 5 minutes by car, there are the Krylatsky Hills, where you can go tubing, sledding, and snowscooting. We go there often. I love being with my family!
