Brodsky composer biography

The composer Nicholas Brodsky himself all the time fled from someone: either from revolutionaries, then from the Nazis. Nikolai Bronstein was born in Odessa in the year. But in the year, his whole family fled to Budapest, fleeing the Romanian-Russian Revsovet. There the boy became Miklosh Brodsky. However, a year later, the shocks began there. Miklosh studied music in Rome, Vienna and Berlin.

Already in the year, his own Budapest Jazz Orchestra recorded several Hungarian hoolings in the arrangement of Efim Shahmaster. This was significant - before the Nazis came to power, the Chemaster team was one of the best in Berlin. In the year, Brodsky first came into contact with the film industry: he participated in writing music to the film "Big attraction". And then he became the composer in the film “Brave Sinner” based on the play “The Kazrada” - the German translation of the play by Valentin Kataev “The Sever”.

Next year, the composer created music for the film “Hitta Open a heart”, in which the incomparable and radiant Gitta Alpar played. She sang with a high coloral soprano "what could be more beautiful than your love." The film, voiced by the orchestra under the leadership of Belaya Dianos, began a victorious procession in cinemas. Three years later, Dayosh and Chemaster fled to Latin America, where they somehow continued his musical career.

In the year, the new house in the United States and Hitta Alpar, her husband, Arian, Gustav Frelich, who played with her in the very successful film, easily renounced her at the very first Nazi request. Pesennik poet Pavel German, who worked tightly with Shulzhenko, brought her the text to this music. Schulzhenko sang this song “Note” all her pop life. Brodsky easily repeated his success by recording music for the US-Hungarian-Austrian comedy "Peter", aka Peter, a girl from the gas station.

As in “Hitt”, the music of “Peter” - first of all, in an incredible helped actress of Franca Gal - incredibly helped his success in Europe. The film even got to the Moscow Film Festival of the year, earned the approval of the Generalissimo and received an honorary diploma there - "a film that combined an entertaining plot of a clearly constructed script with high acting." After - triumphantly went on rent.

Soviet girls cut down "under Peter." This tango soon saved Francesca Gal Life. In the year, her career in Hollywood stalled, and she - to her misfortune - returned to Budapest. In the coming years, all her large Jewish family died there. Miraculously withstanding all the hardships, the Soviet tanker saved her, who recognized in the exhausted, thin and dirty woman that very Francesca - according to the famous tango, which she sang.

In the year, Brodsky made an attempt to gain a foothold in England. In the year with his music, the British film “The Tunity of Guilt” was released. The next film - “Quiet Wedding” - was released in the UK in the year. The New York Times wrote about him: “But all their destructive rage did not leave visible traces in a quiet humor and an atmosphere of heart heat that permeate this story about a young couple on the eve of marriage.” The film of the same year - “Free Radio”, or “Voice in the Night” - spoke about the Austrian doctor who created the radio for resistance.

The press wrote that he "turned out to be exciting, very played and thinner than most of the propaganda thrillers of his time." Since years, Brodsky wrote music for five more British films. Then Hollywood insistently requested him. Brodsky was involved in the musical “Favorite of the New Orleans” - and immediately his song performed by Mario Lanz “Be my love” was nominated for the Oscar.

She headed all the charts of the country for 34 weeks. The circulation of the gramplast amounted to ten million copies. Lanza was even tired of the song and stopped its performance. Then there were no less successful projects - songs to his music for the film “Rich, Young and Dear” and the musical about singer Ruth Etting “Love Me or Leave Me” were also nominated for Oscar.

The melodrama "Serenade" with his participation as a composer failed at the box office. The painting "Let's be happy" was the last for Brodsky. A year later, he died in the Hollywood clinic. He was only 53 years old. Contemporaries knew: in order to turn his ideas into finished compositions, Brodsky needed the help of arrangers - Roy Douglas, Misha Spolyansky and others.

Colleagues called him "almost illiterate." But the melodies, invented by the former Jewish boy Nicky from Odessa, sound in 55 Hungarian, Austrian, English, Polish, American films - they are singing, and they are remembered to this day. Maria Yakubovich.
