A bright bard with high poetic talent

Mikhail Feldman's songs sound easy and unconstrained, their intonations, accents on individual words resemble a conversation with loved ones, with whom he shares his thoughts, quite subtly jokes about life, those around him, and even about himself.

Igor Byalsky accurately noted that the songs of this bright and beloved by many Israeli bards are filled with high poetry. From above, he was given the rarest gift of an impeccable technique for composing smart, meaningful poems, which at the same time turn out to be humorous, and sometimes even sarcastic. Where did this person get such talent and how did the master of words and music begin his creative and human path?

How did it all start?

Mikhail Grigoryevich Feldman was born in the capital of the USSR Moscow in 1964. In this city he lived carefree for 26 years. At the age of eighteen, as a studentMoscow Automobile and Road Institute (MADI), began to compose poems, which then looked more like, by the poet-bard's own admission, parodies or imitations. Expressing his thoughts through a poetic word, the young author soon realized that it was best to convey them to the listener through songs with a guitar.

Performing his first works and at the same time accompanying himself on the instrument, Mikhail became the "soul of the company". This is how his bard songs were born, striking with irresistible humor and elegiac intonation.

In 1986, Mikhail Feldman graduated from MADI.

When the young author and performer began to express his vision of the world through songs, he did not even think about serious performances and a large audience of listeners. But it turned out differently.

Mikhail Feldman began performing on the big stage in Israel, where he emigrated in 1991. Since then, Michael has been living in this country, in the city of Beersheba. The country in which the Moscow road engineer arrived for permanent residence was favorable to him. Here he made new friends.

He fell in love with Israel with all his heart and even in one of his interviews said that he was ready to fight for this country. And these were not just words. The bard dedicated his frost-piercing song “The Number on the Globe” to Israel. At the festival "Bardyugi" she got into the top twenty. In Israel, Mikhail Feldman very soon gained considerable fame in bard circles. The first real concert was organized for Mikhail by Igor Guberman, it took place in 1998 in Jerusalem.
