Muslim Magomayev. Biography

The cause of the singer's death, as it was later said in all the newspapers and news, is coronary heart disease. He died in 2008, on October 25, and 4 days later he was buried in Baku, on the Alley of Honor. Magomayev's grave is located next to the grave of his grandfather, also a great artist, conductor and composer.

Muslim's father was an artist, and his mother was a dramatic actress. As you can see, the whole family was very creative, so it is not at all surprising that the biography of Muslim Magomayev is entirely connected with the stage.

He was born on 1942-17-08 in the city of Baku. His maternal grandmother was half Russian. Speaking about his nationality, Magomayev claimed that Azerbaijan is his "father" and Russia is his "mother". And this is true: he loved both countries equally.

The biography of Muslim Magomayev is very curious, although his path to fame cannot be called thorny. But it was not without difficulties. His father died at the front, and after the war his mother left her son in the care of his uncle. Muslim went to school at the conservatory. There, the boy's talent was noticed by a teacher in the cello class. V. Ts. Anshelevich began to give Magomayev vocal lessons. And when he was 15 years old, secretly from his family, the debut performance of the novice artist took place in the Baku House of Culture.

After the 10th grade, he entered the music school. While still 20 years old, he became famous. Muslim Magomayev spoke at the Kremlin Palace of Congresses, and after that he was known to absolutely the entire Soviet Union. His voice conquered everyone: both ordinary listeners, and professional musicians, and party leaders, and leaders of the country.

The biography of Muslim Magomayev was very successful. A year later, he performed at the Moscow Conservatory. There was a real crowd! Magomayev skillfully combined in his performances the performance of both classical works (Mozart, Hegel, Bach) and pop songs.

In those years, the artist actively toured throughout the Soviet Union. He received recognition not only from us, but also in Cannes (the Golden Record award), and in France (Olympia), and in the USA, and in Poland.

At the age of 31, Magomayev became a People's Artist of the USSR. He took part in all the Blue Lights. Both Khrushchev and Brezhnev liked his work, andAndropov. Popular love did not fade even in the 90s, when, after the collapse of the USSR, newly minted "stars" began to appear. However, when he was 56 years old, he decided to stop performing, although his voice was still very strong and clear.

The artist spent the last years of his life in Moscow with his wife (famous opera singer) Tamara Sinyavskaya. In addition to singing, Magomayev was very fond of painting, writing various essays, and playing the piano. He was excellent at everything, but what did not concern vocal performance, he called exclusively his “hobby”.

This is the biography of Muslim Magomayev, the great Russian and Azerbaijani artist.
