Sarnico. - He was carrying a battered suitcase, a few francs in his pocket and a faded poster Marseille: "Poet, Yves Montand, man-dynamite." Montan shy away from the German gendarmes, amused Parisians his Marseilles accent and, with difficulty suppressing a shiver at the knees, rides the subway , which leads him to fear. He willy-nilly a lot of rolling around in Paris: he is tried nearly all the cabaret - "Beaulieu," "Folies-Belleville", "Bobino" ... Finally comes the turn of "Moulin Rouge" (for the young singer is already a success) - then Montand meets Edith Piaf.

Similarly, there is a lot of the audience complained about the singers, the only difference that the Italian vocal virtuosos sometimes do not want to sing, and French - can not sing. A couple of expensive Italian nightingales, Signor Mario and Signor Grisi were, however, is always at his post in the hall Vantadur and trills its takes us to the very blossoming spring, while in Paris raging cold, snow and wind that raged piano concerts, debates in the Chambers Deputies and polkomaniya. Yes, it′s happy, charming, nightingales, an Italian opera - always singing grove, where I am saved, when the winter depression otumanit me, when life′s cold for me to become unbearable. There, in a semi-pleasant corner of the box, get warm again excellent, melodic charms turn hard reality in poetry, longing lost in floral arabesques, and the heart will once again be smiling. What a pleasure, when Mario sings, and in the sight of Grisi amorous nightingale sounds are recorded, though the visible echoes. What a joy when Grisi sang, and her voice opens melodically gentle look and a happy smile, Mario! A lovely couple! The Persian poet, who called the nightingale rozoyu among birds, and the rose - a nightingale among the flowers, there would be quite confused and bewildered in the comparisons, because both he and she, Mario and Grisi, shine, not only singing, but also beauty.

And then after this quiet, like light candles in the country house, the songs heard hammered accompaniment. Pete Seeger straightens his shoulders and begins to sing a song International Brigade fought in Spain in 1937-1938. This is followed by a song about Hiroshima, written by Siger on word Turkish poet Nazim Hikmet, and then abruptly, disturbing sound song about today. |
Jose Carreras "Since that time, Carreras began steadily gaining momentum Star - notes A. Yaroslavtseva. - He had himself can choose the role, setting, and partners. With such a load and not very healthy lifestyle to the young, eager to scenes of glory and the singer is very difficult to avoid the risk of ruining his voice. Repertoire Carreras grows, it includes almost all the parts of the lyric tenor, a great number of Neapolitan, Spanish and American songs, ballads, ballads. Add to this another operetta and popular songs. So many beautiful voices erased, lost its shine, natural beauty and elasticity due to improper selection of repertoire and neglect your singing apparatus - to take at least a sad example of greatest genius of Giuseppe Di Stefano, the singer, whom Carreras, for years regarded as his ideal and a model to follow. |

And in the power and magnificence of her voice, she sings again: "Respectable people sit around table. Sad people wander the streets. And I′m going to follow them, I look at their faces, listen to their words. At night, it does no good, but it′s my life ...
