“ January 9, wedding day with her husband and as a gift - a joint trip to a magical event. It really was and was - magical - "The magic of music. The magic of the word." And it took place in a pleasant and familiar place - Moscow State Conservatory. Tchaikovsky. It is very important to note that this performance happens 2 times a year - in winter and summer. And I'm not surprised that the hall was full. When we went to the concert performance, we did not know what to expect. This format was a little familiar to me, but not to my husband. So, 3 actors and a group of musicians - Alexey Aigi, his Ensemble “4'33” and organist Konstantin Volostnov - “SAMI” got together and created something incredible. It was awesome 2 hours. When you don’t need glasses, because all that you just need to listen and enjoy it. 3 heroes, 3 different poets with different characters, different ways of life. Different music, different moods, different eras. And even the organ sounded limited in those verses, the life position that every hero told about Separately, I want to express my admiration for the music and its performance. It was so “mine”, so in harmony with my emotions and my perception of everything that was happening, just a complete delight!

“ Yesterday I was lucky to get to the play "The Magic of Music, The Magic of the Word". This is the third production of this theater that I watched, and it seemed to me the most musical. The organ created a special atmosphere (thanks to the brilliant organist Konstantin Volostnov)! There was a sense of Christmas miracle in the hall. By the way, out of habit, I almost left for MMMD, I saw in time that the performance was at the Conservatory)) Again, three wonderful readers: Sergey Chonishvili, Daniil Strakhov and Sergey Shnyrev. And again Sergey Chonishvili is not enough for me, he is my absolute love in this trio, although Strakhov leaves all the flowers after the performance) Read more classics, Brodsky, Mandelstam, Red, Pasternak, although Sergei Chonishvili and Daniil Strakhov also read verses of their own composition. The music of Alexei Aigi this time was more melodic, and the performance itself was dedicated to love. I was also pleased with the atmosphere in the hall: all the seats were occupied, almost no one got into the phone during the performance, but the standing ovations were absolutely deserved. Well and a special highlight of the performance is added by the dance improvisations of Sergey Chonishvili, this time too they were) The performance is beautiful! Definitely recommend for viewing.

“ The final Christmas performance and at the same time the most striking, musical, emotional for me was the performance-concert “The Magic of Music The Magic of Word” on the stage of the Great Hall of the Moscow State Conservatory named after P.I. Tchaikovsky @sami_theatre Three actors (Sergei Chonishvili, Daniil Strakhov and Sergei Shnyrev) read poetry by great poets of the 20th century: Brodsky, Pasternak, Mandelstam, Blok and others. They read it so soulfully that sometimes words mesmerized me, and Alexey Aigi’s music, the organ and ensemble “4`33``” plunged into the beautiful world of poetry. Many lines were easily recognizable, and some I heard for the first time. I was touched by a poem read by Daniel Strakhov: “In Russia they part forever. In Russia, cities are so far apart that I shudder, whispering “goodbye”. “I touch my hand by chance her hands ...”

“ Creepy poems, music that can be listened to endlessly. Three heroes, each with its own story. Music, on the one hand, combines words and verses, and on the other, is an equally equivalent hero of everything that happens. Heroes, plots, emotions change, and you realize that you do not have time to grab everything, digest it, think it over and really want to repeat. Magic succeeded)

“ How do you feel about poetry? I can listen, but I will not say that I like it very much, of the modern authors I know almost no one. But at the musical-drama project “The Magic of Music The Magic of Words” from SAM and Theater, she did not hesitate, because she had previously watched their “Onegin” and was impressed, director Natalia Semenova knows how to create attractive performances. Three actors played the roles of three nameless heroes, each living in his own world, but at the same time growing up, at the same time meeting the seasons. The actors took the stage one by one or all together, recited in silence or to the sound of music. The verses performed by Sergey Shnyrev were about the sublime, about the intangible, and the video sequence on the screen complemented these sensations. Daniel Strakhov conveyed the image of a rebel and a lifejacker, and his attire emphasized every word. Sergey Chonishvili hooked on erotic poems, his sensual voice stirred blood a little bit hoarsely, but just in a new way and with humor, he conveyed familiar lines - it is just necessary to hear! And in general, reading independently is one thing, but listening to the verses of Blok, Brodsky, Ryzhy and others with expressive and correctly delivered speech is a completely different thing. In all the performances of SAMiTeatr, music appears as a separate hero, this time it seemed to me that music is a hero, she is a woman, with a mood change peculiar to her, abrupt changes from whisper to scream, she will begin to speak without stopping and abruptly cut herself off. Alexey Aigi and his ensemble “4'33" ”play this role delightfully, new and familiar music falls in love with him, and every spectator in the hall appreciated the flow of energy from the band. The organ of 1899 fit perfectly into the general outline of the production of 1899 - this is one of the most significant organo-construction monuments of Europe, the last organ in lifetime of outstanding Aristide Kawaye-Coll, so loud, he is like the Universe in which all the heroes live, only “Toccata from the Gothic suite” by L. Boelman transformed the audience into pawns and carried it deep into cosmo The voice of the Universe was led by the famous organist Konstantin Volostnov. The performance was held at the Moscow State Conservatory named after PI Tchaikovsky in a stunningly beautiful large hall that you can watch for hours. Comfortable chairs, good seats and excellent acoustics. Only twice a year There is an opportunity to see this project, the next performance on January 9th.

“ All evening I tried not to miss something: the meaning of the poems, the music that intertwined with the text, the sounds of the organ and the video sequence. I understood that I did not understand anything, but I caught every word and note. For a minute it was impossible to relax, but everything that happens, I was impressed. Once it was fashionable to arrange literary evenings ... I like this tradition, these evenings are expensive, we need more of this! • When different verses sound from the stage - from lyrics to passion. And after you want to take a list, heard, poets and go to the library for a pile of books. • When you catch every word, because this is where the truth is born. And I want to recite poems again - this is some kind of forgotten art now. • When three famous and talented artists read poems - what, by the way, I bought it =) Elegant and strict Sergey Shnyrev. Cheerful and romantic Daniel Strakhov. Kolky Sergey Chonishvili with a velvety voice. In general, it seemed that they themselves caught the buzz from what was happening, and this was transmitted to the entire hall - and there were no summary places! And then we all lived in a single rhythm. • When a stream of poetry spills on you for two whole hours, and the music smoothly flows from the works of Alexei Aigi to the organ classics of Bach and Frank. Music is what connected the whole story, and I do not know what you expect more poetry or music. • When the explosive music of the ensemble "4'33" "turns into a dramatic performance. • When a violinist can play a complex composition and at the same time bounce up a meter. Unusual drive and sincere involvement in the process. • When the unhurried sounds of the organ performed by Konstantin Volostnov and the colored spots with which the organ is whimsically illuminated by the game, act fascinatingly. • When videotape pictures add emotional olives to this cocktail ... About the project “The Magic of Music. The magic of the word ”, directed by Natalia Semenova, can be told for a very long time, but it’s better to experience it yourself - a magnificent synthesis of music and musicians, poems and readers, light and color. Unfortunately, the performance is only a couple of times a year, but I plan to go again exactly =)

“ The musical-dramatic project "The Magic of Music is the magic of the word" is a performance in which verses, music and light projection are combined. Three actors (Sergey Chonishvili, Daniil Strakhov and Sergey Shnyrev) will read poems. “But,” you say, “poetry is something from the epoch of Mayakovsky and his yellow blouse. Well, or Block. In the extreme case - from the time of the Sixties, who collected full halls in the Polytechnic. But now, when a huge number of texts are posted online, when hundreds of commercials and audio books can be found there ... Has this kind of presentation not become outdated? ”Has not become outdated. Nothing will replace the contact of the reader and the viewer. In addition, hand on heart, in our age of speed, poetry is not a necessity. And if someone is wrong, they still mostly know the author of the golden and silver age of Russian poetry or the same people of the sixties: Rozhdestvensky Drunin, Tushnov, Yevtushenko. Actually, I have about the same situation. So, of the dozens of poems that sounded from the stage on July 9, I knew two. Mandelstam and Brodsky. All other poems became discoveries, especially since some of them were clearly written already in our, 21st century. Do you know a lot of modern poets? And they are. In general, as they say, the lines of A. Blok, V. Bryusov, V. Gumilyov, O. Mandelstam, S. Cherny, D. Samoilov, I. Brodsky, B. Kenzheev and V. Gandelsman are heard from the scene. B. Ryzhy, S. Gandlevsky, A. Kushner, D. Samoilov and A. Tarkovsky. All this magnificence is accompanied by pictures projected on the screen and music played by the composer and violinist Alexei Aygi by his Ensemble “4'33". ”This is a very unusual music. Jazz? No, although the trumpet and piano exist. Violin concerto? No, although there is a violin. Chorale? Not too, although there is an organ on the stage. This is something very peculiar, a whirlwind and calm, fire and ice. Minuses. Daniil Strakhov’s pants. No, I'm not joking. Imagine: three men go on stage. - smart, dandy, in black pairs, white shirts. And one - in bomzhevatymi pants and the devil a uniform bluzone. The last one is Fears. Yes, I am up to date with modern trends in fashion. But it looks like two gentlemen returning from a high-society reception have met by chance on the street with a vagabond.

“ This summer I decided to attend events that I had postponed for a long time. One of them is the project “The Magic of Music, Magic of the Word” by the SAMI Theater: a bizarre fusion of music, light, poems of famous poets of the 20th century, and video effects. Suffice it to say that Daniil Strakhov, Sergey Chonishvili and Sergey Shnyrev acted as readers, and Alexey Aigi with his 4'33 '' ensemble and organist Konstantin Volostnov were in charge of musical accompaniment - this is the best guarantee of a high-class spectacle. For the concert (I will call the event a concert), poems were chosen by poets such as A. Blok, N. Gumilev, S. Cherny, I. Brodsky, and B. Kenzheeva, V. Gandelsman, B. Ryzhy and others who are little known to me. Strakhov, Chonishvili and Shnyrev go out one after another, follow each other ... Despite the variety of subjects and works, one can trace the main "line" of each of the characters. So, the hero of Daniel Strakhov - rather lyrical. He is young, talented, a little reckless, but kind and understanding. Sergey Chonishvili is more “adult”: his hero is more reflexive, reflects on the fate of the 20th century poet and the person as a whole. The hero of Sergey Shnyrev is like between them: he is passionate, denying stereotypes, ranging from love for the Motherland to emigration, between faith and disbelief. You can also highlight the main themes of the poems, they gracefully replace one another: this is the life of a creative person, and memories of childhood, and the hymn of youth, and poems about women, and, of course, about faith and God. It is noteworthy that the authorship of the poems is not indicated, and Daniel and Sergey read, including his own poems. Is the author really important? After all, the main thing is the idea and thought of the poet. And, of course, it is impossible not to say about MUSIC. Aleksey Aigi and his ensemble, as always, is at its height — sometimes slow and painful, sometimes expressive, but always expressive — the music draws words into the maelstrom and helps create a truly magical atmosphere. Thanks to the concert, I discovered not one interesting poem that I would like to re-read and think about, and received a lot of pleasant impressions.

“ When my wife offered to go to the play "The Magic of Music. The Magic of the Word," I was skeptical. "Poems to music? Yes, and in the conservatory! Well, I do not know." Unusual format, and to poetry, I am almost indifferent. He agreed only because of Aleksey Aigi, he had long wanted to see and hear the ensemble “4'33”. ” It’s probably good that I didn’t expect anything from this evening, the more pleasant and unexpected was the acquaintance with the poetry of the 20th century, with popular theater and cinema actors Sergey Chonishvili, Daniil Strakhov and Sergey Shnyrev. It’s hard to single out one person, but nevertheless I really liked the performance of Sergey Chonishvili that evening, especially the poems of his own composition. A talented person is talented in everything! And his poems are ironic, but very deep. Alexey Aigi was amazed at the performance, the drive, the most powerful energy, while the music does not conflict with the verses, but rather complements and reveals the images created by the actors. It was also nice to hear organ music. Due to the mixture of genres and styles, an image of timeless action was born. Indeed, what's the difference in which century this or that work is written, if the problems do not change over the centuries. If a person still looks up to the sky and asks: "Who am I? To be or not to be? Why am I born?" You can talk for a long time about the poetry of Prigov, S. Cherny, Pasternak, Brodsky, Alexander Kushner, Boris Ryzhy, Arseny Tarkovsky, and others, but you can see and hear yourself, and it is definitely worth it!

“ Alexey Aigi! He is awesome! And his ensemble “4'33 ''” 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 The energy of the musicians is crazy! Modern compositions are perfectly combined with high classics in a single concert, a bright interweaving of the ensemble and organ composition of the Conservatory👍👍👍 And when all this is perfected by the verses performed by Sergey Chonishvili, Sergey Shnyrev and Daniil Strakhova, MAGIC is born! “The magic of music. The magic of the word "Honestly, I do not like modern drama, poetry and in general most of modern art ... but люблю I love talented performers! And if a person reads with talent, let it be at least the instruction to the aircraft самол So on July 9, I got real pleasure! Sergey Chonishvili made me laugh when I read about the erotic side of being🙈 What a sarcastic, ironic, bold and easy it is. Sergei Shnyrev made me cry ... he became for me the discovery of the evening, I never knew his work anywhere ... And only with Daniel Strakhov, it wasn’t just me ... everything was clear, but not simple ‍♀️ About the video installation I keep silent only one question ... why? Many thanks to the community of SAMI. The next concert on January 9! Tickets are already on sale, do not miss!

“ It is finished! July 9, I got to the unusual performance "The Magic of Music. The Magic of the Word", and this title fully reflects the essence of what I saw and heard by me. Two hours in the Moscow Conservatory Sergey Chonishvili, Daniel Strakhov, Sergey Shnyrev read poems of poets of the 20-21 centuries. Once it was fashionable to organize literary evenings, the director Natalya Semenova and the actors of the SAM themselves proposed a new format of such evenings, in which music, word and video are interwoven. Even if you are a connoisseur of poetry, I am sure that you will not know all the verses. In addition, the author’s interpretation often draws a completely different image, puts accents differently and allows you to see completely different faces. The familiar poem by Sasha Cherny performed by S. Chonishvili sounded quite new. How Lezghin shash your camp, Mouth - a ruby red-hot! If I were the Turkish Sultan, I would have taken you for a wife ... Under the plane tree on a colorful carpet, We would play hide and seek. I would, bending down to the purple chador, Kissing your heels. Pearls would entwine you in the middle of a braid! Let people envy ... I would bring my heart to you On an enamel dish ... You looked down, are you silent? Are you scrubbing plaster? And why are you quietly like a mouse? At night you run to a Turk? He is a cursed Medina jackal! He is a devil! He is ignorant! The third day, I sharpen my dagger, On the fourth - Zarrezhu! I will shatter it into a small shashlik .... I will give spurs to Kabardin - And I will stretch a hood on my eyebrow, And I will shake you into the mountains. Alexey Aigi and the ensemble “4'33 ''” were responsible for the musical component of the play. I find it extremely difficult to resist the exclamations like: "Wow! Cool! Bomb!", But yes, it is! The performances of the ensemble "4'33 ''" are always a separate small show. and Alexey is a virtuoso and talented! Also in this performance organ works performed by Konstantin Volostnov sound. Music is a full member, and I do not know what you expect more poetry or music. Each actor with the help of poetry creates his hero. Sergey Chonishvili reads the verses of David Samoilov, Alexander Blok, Nikolai Gumelev, Sasha Cherny and his own poems. His hero is ironic, paradoxical reflecting on the world and about himself. The hero of Daniel Strakhov is young and romantic. He speaks in the words of the works of Boris Ryzhy, Alexander Kushner, Arseny Tarkovsky, Gennady Shpalikov. Shnyrev chose the poems of Brodsky, Bakhyt Kenzheev, Vladimir Gandelsman. I was very touched by a poem about Christmas. You can talk about this performance for a very long time, but better give yourself an evening and enjoy the poetry of music and the word. And I plan to go again in January.

“ Creepy poems, music that can be listened to endlessly. Three heroes, each with its own story. Music, on the one hand, combines words and verses, and on the other, is an equally equivalent hero of everything that happens. Heroes, plots, emotions change, and you realize that you do not have time to grab everything, digest it, think it over and really want to repeat. Magic failed) Thank you!

“ The theater billboard in Moscow is vast and inexhaustible - you can go to the theater every day for a whole year without repeating yourself, and still there is still a lot left uncovered. But which of the watched performances can be remembered in a year? - The majority will be erased from memory completely, some names will cause only a shadow of memories, and only a few will leave an enduring aftertaste and a desire to see them more than once. The musical and dramatic project “The Magic of Music, the Magic of Words” by the SAM Theater is one of those few performances that do not let go for a long time, they are easily remembered and you want to watch them again and again, each time discovering something new, missed or not understood before, with this performance I want to share, bringing to him close friends. And it is not by chance that the word “magic” twice sounds in the title of the performance, this word, together with its synonyms magic, sorcery, fortunetelling, enchantment, witchcraft - absolutely exactly expresses what is happening on the stage. It would seem that something like this can be done by three readers, a small orchestra and an organ, but when great poetry is performed by talented actors, and musicians enchant and take listeners to magical worlds, then what can be called magic happens. Sergey Chonishvili, Daniil Strakhov and Sergey Shnyrev performed by the great Russian poetry of the twentieth century. There are many poems: Brodsky, Mandelstam, Auburn, Pasternak, Gumilyov, Blok, Samoilov, Kushner ... Each of the actors has his own theme, his own choice of works, his attitude to poetry and to life. Sergey Shnyrev thinker and philosopher, Daniil Strakhov dreamer and lyricist, Sergey Chonishvili macho with a taste of irony. But not only powerful waves of poetry roll on the hall, but also wonderful music - the organist Konstantin Volostnov gave us music from Bach to Frank, and Alexey Aigi and the Ensemble “4'33” ”enchant, shrouding the hall with cosmic sounds. Looking at violinist Alexei Aigi and listening to his music is a separate pleasure worthy of a huge concert. But during the performance there is something else to see - the action is accompanied by a witch’s visual sequence, somewhere accompanying the action, and somewhere going beyond the limit of reality. And all this wealth was collected, invented and staged by the director Natalya Semenova - there are women in Russian villages! It is a pity that the performance “The Magic of Music, the Magic of Words” of the SAM Theater is shown only twice a year, I could watch it every month.

“ The magic of music, the magic of the word is the rare case when the name accurately reflects the essence of what is happening. Frankly, I'm not a fan of classical music, and I love poems selectively. The names of Sergey Chonishvili and Daniil Strakhov attracted me to the conservatory. Well, the recommendation of a friend played a role. I still didn’t know any other performers. This is the actor Sergey Shnyrev, the organist Konstantin Volostnov and the composer and violinist Alexey Aigi with his ensemble of musicians "4`33``" The first minutes of the performance were given to me with difficulty. But then the music sounded. And a miracle happened. Here is the magic. I do not know how to explain with words what I felt. This amazing music of Alexey Aigi carried me away into some kind of fabulous distance, through the looking glass. Closing my eyes, I felt like Alice, who was being dragged into a parallel world by a stream of beautiful sounds. They literally fell on me from all sides, picked up a stormy circulation and carried in a fantastic world. At first I tried to look at the screen, but quickly refused it, a special high was to listen to music with my eyes closed. Alexey put so much energy into the performance, the bow was already torn. A very unusual style of performance, and most importantly, absolutely fascinating music. And this, of course, is not only his merit, but the rest of the musicians of the ensemble. I especially liked the composition, which one of the trumpeters had also worked with his voice! It was a real fly away, the hall at the end just burst into applause. Well, being involved in the performance, and began to listen to the verses with pleasure. Each of the performers has chosen authors who are closer to him. Those closest to me were those that Sergei Chonishvili was reading. In general, it seemed that he himself caught the buzz from what was happening, and even when the other performers performed. The organ sounded differently for me as soon as I surrendered to this fabulous stream. In the Great Hall of the Conservatory there are excellent acoustics, it seems that music does not sound from the stage, but around and inside you. In general, I really enjoyed this hike.

“ I really like poetic evenings, I listen with great pleasure to both Pushkin and Brodsky, and modern poets. But the concert “The Magic of Music, the Magic of the Word” exceeded all my expectations. There were many poems that I either did not hear, or very rarely come across the Internet. I was amazed by the team of Alexey Aigi - the ensemble “4:33”, especially the solo parts of the cello and trumpet. I have never seen such an emotional game on the Conservatory scene. The final of the first part of the concert just won. I am very sorry that I did not buy the program, I can not imagine how to find what they were playing. The music was an excellent accompaniment to the verses sounding from the stage - both what was played in separate pieces and what sounded like a photon to the verses. The organ followed by Konstantin Volostnov sounded great too. Poems sounded from the scene different - from the lyrics to the passion. The actors are different in character - open and cheerful Yevgeny Strakhov, caustic and caustic Sergey Chonishvili and severe and strict Sergey Shnyrev. Yevgeny Strakhov performed poems by Boris Ryzhy, Alexander Kushner, Gennady Shpalikov. Very soft verses were chosen for the program. Sergey Shnyrev read poems of Joseph Brodsky, Bakhyt Kenzheev, Vladimir Gandelsman. The familiar lines of Brodsky sounded new. The brightest impression of the evening is the voice of Sergey Chonishvili, his manner of reading. And his dancers on the musical inserts - it was so soulful. But the choice of poems is the most provocative, especially “The Effect of Eroticism on Organisms”. In general, it was a wonderful evening, for me it is a great pleasure to plunge into the magical world of poetry and music.

“ Pasternak, Brodsky, Mandelstam, Samoilov - the names of the poets on hearing, even if you have not read the works of these authors. Lovers and connoisseurs of poetry can easily remember which of the famous poets belong to certain lines. Though not the most popular poems sounded in the summer July evening from the stage of the Moscow Tchaikovsky State Conservatory. But Boris Ryzhy, whose poems fell a little from the canvas of the even flow of familiar poetry, in the musical-poetic project “The Magic of Music is the magic of the word,” few people know. BORIS RED'S "ME DOESN'T ENOUGH TENDERNESS IN VERSES ..." I do not have enough tenderness in verses, but I want to get tenderness - as inevitability or as negligence. And I kiss you in a hurry, O stupid my muse! You, turning away, hide tears. And I roar from this pathetic prose, not hiding the face, not melting my heart. Boy, I'm stuck to your cheek. As old people, as angels, as children, we will live alone in the whole world. You sob, I rhyme "sob." Alexei Aigi’s violin mourned Ryzhy shrilly, gently whispered with Kushner, laughed with Prigov, missed Blok, recalled with Gumilyov. Which instrument makes you cry and empathize more than a violin ... Violinist Alexei Aigi, head of Ensemble 4'33 ", the audience applauded standing. a church. Forgetting that assessment requires at least one author’s works, and these connoisseurs probably do not know that "... in 1900 at the Paris World Exhibition he was recognized as one of the best organs of the world. "The audience, of course, deserves a separate story. I tell the whole story about the play with photos and videos in my blog.

“ None of the actors, neither Sergey Chonishvili, nor Daniel Strakhov, nor Sergey Shnyrev even tried to convince the audience that all this could be written by him. That is, they do not play the role of poets. They simply fill with sound and pronounce ingenious words and lines written by others. The lines of Gumilyov, Blok, Mandelstam, Pasternak, Brodsky, Samoilov, Kushner, Ryzhy, Prigov and others. But they are pronounced as if each of them is the author. Sincerely, sincerely, carefully. Thus, only people who know their price very well can relate to words. And yes. This word! It `s Magic! The magic of the living word! And this effect is easy to explain, because in this unusual project, each of the actors chooses what he will read. The most resonant, close and aching. Moreover, from concert to concert texts can change, as well as the internal state of each of the actors. Today is closer one, and tomorrow something else. And this is life! Our feelings and emotions change. Our inner self is constantly transforming. And if suddenly your own “waves” coincided in frequency with the state of at least one of the actors, then the “magic of the word” will cover you with your head. And each text will knock at the temples and ache in the hypochondrium. However, the poetry of the Silver Age leaves few people indifferent, regardless of the emotional state. How to remain indifferent, for example, to these lines: I was lucky to be a Russian poet. I had the honor of touching victories. I had the grief of being born in the twentieth, In the cursed year and in the capital cursed. (c) David Samoilov What thick skin should one have in order not to feel what these lines are about and what depth is in them? Hall felt. And froze. And so all the first part and sat. Stunned and silent, unable to even applaud. Because the words sounded for silence. About fate, about the motherland, about life. It was possible to inhale and relax only when the words came to be replaced by music. The explosive music of Alexei Aigi and the group “4:33”. Or unhurried sounds of the organ performed by Konstantin Volostnov. The colored spots with which the organ was whimsically highlighted during the game acted psychedelic. As a result, unimaginable emotional swings were thrown back and forth, so that at some point I even suddenly wanted everything to end abruptly! Here it is right this second! Another pair of chords played by the violin, and so a sharp break! Because "the kettle has already boiled." And then there was the second branch. About love. Every, every word about love. To the woman, life, God. In Russia, parting forever. Put another piece of ice in the cold verse. ... And the trains go downhill, ... And the planes, reaching as far as the stars, burn in them. (from) Boris Ryzhiy Oh, how passionate and sincere it was! Poems, poems. The actors replaced each other, but the poems remained. And love remained. It hung like a cloud above the stage, above the hall, above all of us. And music, music. I listened to Sergei Chonishvili’s voice with my eyes closed, for Yes! There is also a video series! On a huge screen. And helps to catch the "wave". And in the final, huge thanks! To all. To these people who gave us a wonderful evening, to the authors, whose verses sounded, to the universe, to the universe, to God! To all. For everything, for everything. During the muddy dawn. For the bread. For the salt. The warmth of homeland. For thanking you all, for not hearing a word. (c) Boris Red But you still hear!

“ My husband and I were at the Conservatory at an amazing concert-performance "The Magic of Music The Magic of the Word". What to say? First of all, I would like to thank the creators of this event by name: Director: Natalia Semenova Masters words: Sergey Chonishvili Daniil Strakhov Sergey Shnyrev Music Masters: Alexey Aigi and group 4.33 (these guys are gods!) Konstantin Volostnov, who created a fantastic atmosphere playing the organ. These people managed to create something unique and truly magical, combining into one whole the music of the highest level and energy, the works of poets of the 20th century performed by great professionals and artistic and light installations. Music is beyond praise, captures and entails from the first moments. It disturbs, hurts, stirs, heals ... The intensity of emotions in the hall is mad. Looking at Alexei Aigi is a separate pleasure, and his group breathes with one breath, lives on the stage as a single organism! Subtle strokes, wide strokes create the image of the actors of the past century, which is woven from destinies and poems. And their voices! Sometimes I caught myself being fascinated by the fact that the music of the voice is no less than the music of Aigi. The timbre of Daniil Strakhov's bitter chocolate, the wise winter wind in Sergey Chonishvili's voice ... The first act as if by a razor blade, at the limit. Answers to questions give rise to new questions. Existential loneliness, the search for self, god, country, love ... Feeling of understatement and impending drama. The second part is about love. Different. Passionate. Tired Sincere to the pain. Love for a woman, country, god ... Words of gratitude. The look of the Father from heaven. Here, yes. This performance is like a look of God in the soul and a look of the soul in heaven. Handsomely! Thank you
