M and ryzhkov biography

M. Tsiolkovsky Suznov, awarded the Order of Merit to the Fatherland III degree, his game can be heard in more than fifty films. Born on August 30, father - Fedot Fedorovich G. Mother - Varvara Fedorovna G. Mikhail grew in a large family, was the youngest of the seven sons. He was still a child when his father took the eldest sons and left with them to build the Turksib railway. The father was repressed there.

Sent to the camps. Michael and his mother and brother Boris remained in Nizhny Novgorod. The family broke up. They lived very poorly. Varvara Fedorovna earned with washing. To help his mother, Mikhail took a sled in winter and drove baggage to the passengers from the station. In the city of Mikhail, they accepted into the pioneers and sent to the pioneer named after the revolutionary Anson, where the guys spent all day and came home only to spend the night.

The pioneer was fed well, military-patriotic education was delivered well here. There Mikhail learned to swim, run, acquired a good physical hardening. Here, children spent very interestingly in various circles: fine art, musical, carpentry, worked in the carpentry and printed workshops. There was even an amateur orchestra of folk instruments. In this orchestra, Mikhail learned to play almost all folk instruments, it was then that he first picked up a balalaika.

When Mikhail Rozhkov turned 16 and the time came to choose a profession, he firmly said to his teacher and head of the orchestra: I want to study at the musician and conductor. Mikhail went to Leningrad to enter the music school. At the entrance exams he strongly stated that he was playing on all instruments and he should certainly be accepted. He was given Domra - he played, gave the guitar - played.

The future of the world -famous maestro had an embarrassment - during a “demonstration of skill”, strings broke. However, the persistent and obviously talented young man was accepted for the preparatory course of the instructor department of the school. In the school, Mikhail Rozhkov, on the advice of comrades, began with a game on a four -stringed domra. And everything went well until I heard, in one of the classes, Pavel Necheporenko plays in Balalaik at that time also a student of the school, now - People's Artist of the USSR.

Mikhail was fascinated by the sound of the instrument in his hands, literally fell ill with a balalaika, and the next day he went to the head of the department, Alexander Alexandrovich Kholodilin, asking him to transfer him to the Balalaika class. Only a few months were left until the end of the school year, but Mikhail went to the meeting, and he went through the Balalaika class in the class of the year in these months.

Mikhail Rozhkov studied at the school at the age of five. In the third year of study, he began to perform in the orchestra. It was both earnings and great practice. But he did not become a soloist. There was a difficult process of forming a musician. Dombrovsky ordered Rozhkov to leave the orchestra, saying that he had a great prospect, and he will be the most famous balalai in Russia. In the year, M.

Rozhkov came to Moscow for the All -Union Competition of performers on folk instruments in order to listen to its participants. At the same time, a competition was held in the capital in a red -banned ensemble. Rozhkova was invited to appear, and as a result, by order of the People’s Commissar of Defense K. Voroshilov, he was determined in the central house of the Red Army in the balalahya Red Army Orchestra, where he worked for 7 years, first with a soloist-balalaika, then by the conductor of the orchestra.

As a military orchestra, the team often protruded right on the front line, before the start of the attack. What is a dugout, a trench, bullets, ruptures of bombs and shells by M. Rozhkov and his colleagues-musicians had to experience what is called “on their own skin”. For the rest of his life, Rozhkov remembered the village of Kokashilovo. Only the artists arrived there, as Messerschmitts began to circle over the village.

Shells began to break, the battle broke out. An extremely tense environment was created. Then the musicians put aside the instruments and, not paying attention to the whistle of bullets and bombing, began to take out the wounded from the battlefield. They were both orderly and connected. And when the roar of airplanes fell silent over the village, when the attacks were repelled and the wounded were placed on the huts, music sounded.

The concert began. For this battle, Mikhail Rozhkov and his comrades received their first combat awards - medals “For Military Merit”. After the assault, Rzhev received his first combat medal. But the largest and most expensive award was always the recognition and love of the work of the musician of the common people. In cruel frost, the war of the orchestra foamed for us in Koenigsberg.

The leaders of the ensemble were demobilized in the city by order of Marshal Bagramyan Mikhail Rozhkov accepted the command of the orchestra. Mikhail Rozhkov, along with Gennady Petrovich Bykov, created a duet of balalaks. They rehearsed, where they could - in the basements, in the attic, the duet M. Rozhkov and G. Bykov spoke on the most prestigious scenes of Moscow, recorded the record.

However, soon G. Bykov was arrested, the duet broke up.

At that time, Mikhail Rozhkov acutely felt that he still lacks skill, knowledge, musical horizons.Rozhkov was very lucky. He was engaged in the classroom with Alexander Sergeyevich Ilyukhin, who never suppressed the student’s creative freedom. Subsequently, M. Rozhkov even had a chance to teach in this educational institution. But combining teaching with performances was not easy. According to Mikhail Fedorovich himself: "The Minister of Culture Popov calls:" Comrade Rozhkov, tomorrow you have the British, the day after tomorrow the French, two days later the Germans.

" In short, receptions every day. And at the receptions, a gorgeous wine, caviar. Of course, you will touch a little. But I have a law. Until I play, nor. And I sometimes came to classes with students ... ”In my programs, M. Rozhkov included Russian folk songs, classics, works of modern composers, processing popular Soviet songs - all this allowed him to show the possibilities of balalaika with maximum fullness.

At the same time, each performance was certainly accompanied then, as well as now, and now, an interesting and fascinating story about the history of the instrument. Once, M. Rozhkova heard L. Utesov, was delighted, called him "the genius of the balalaika." Utesov was the first to support the musician after the war in the Muscovite. Thanks to him, Rozhkov got into the country's pop elite, in the best concerts at the best venues.

The creative search continued. Michael tried to connect the balalaika into a duet with various tools and came to the conclusion that the ideal combination is a balalaika and a guitar. A large role in M. Rozhkov in this period was played by a meeting with the wonderful guitarist Georgy Ivanovich Singyev. After the death of G. Schoev for 6 years, Mikhail Rozhkov toured with the pianist Svetlana Sorokina.

Then a decade and a half reached the guitarist - Yuri Chernov. Without performances by M. Rozhkov, none of the main concerts in Moscow was inconceivable in those years. Concerts in those years were built strictly according to the genres: an artistic word, a physical education-arcrobatic or circus number, choreography, vocals, instrument, pop number and cinema. The instrumental genre was represented, as a rule, Alexander Tsfasman - Royal in the first branch and Mikhail Rozhkov - Balalaika in the second department.

Pinochet, an indispensable participant in the concerts was Mikhail Rozhkov.
