DDT chanson album "Beautiful Love"

Spring of 2007, presents the most popular amateur Petersburg team DDT another surprise. DDT is not tired, let to break stereotypes. The new album DDT "Beautiful Love", from "Navigator Records" represented proves that it is possible to create something new, to find modern and unexpectedly, even in familiar and traditional. We come back, it seems, to the origins of his work - the "Russian rock" in the usual sense - called Shevchuk companions, but challenging as a lover of "art song for electric guitar", and a whole genre as the "Russian chanson ". "We recorded the album in only those songs I used to sing with a guitar, acoustic, - says Yuri Shevchuk -. Generally, the songs around the campfire or in the kitchen to be sung - that's what the author Vysotsky Song now known as chanson And this is not a rock, of course -.. it's just songs that almost folks, this is an album where the music will be interesting, because the musical form is not "load", ie, not from the words distract My boys do not like the music, of course -. they play rock, jazz, so I had to suffer his torment with this bard songs ... In general, as a "Russian chanson DDT" "Beautiful Love" - a return to the concept of " chanson "in Russia, to its original meaning, which set this height, which was once the best representatives of French chanson schools: Serge Gainsbourg, Gilbert Beco, Charles Aznavour, etc. However, as true patriots, "ddteshniki" failed to achieve results, not by blindly copying Western models, but by. His songs truly national flavor, do not forget to take advantage of a variety of possibilities of modern technology "Luxurious sound of guitars, warm tones of acoustic, folk and jazz instruments with folk tunes. Lyrical, but the social, moreover, not without humor, the music, the familiar, the old, unreleased songs and new, little included in the public "- described the work of the youngest team member, guitarist Alex Fedichev. The album consists of 15 tracks, recorded in the studio of DDT in 2006. The final reduction drive was by Yuri Shevchuk and Igor Tikhomirov conducted in February this year - traditionally in Kiev, in the studio, "KRUZ». The two main themes of music, woven inextricably linked to the life and fate of the songwriter - it's a war and love. The title song of the album is sound, in the beginning, also says that this work is in no small part, a tribute to the man he said Shevchuk his teacher - the great poet and bard Bulat Okudzhava: Shalvovich "I Bulat personally met the 95-year, after I managed to get through January first Chechen war ... Fate brought us and I literally gasped Bulat Shalvovich - all day and all night and then told him about the nightmare I saw. He was so excited, so are people - just took everything to heart, these bad times. And then I have to learn to speak with him, he was just Mozdok injured. Generally faced two wars - the modern and the Great Patriotic War. The war was, of course, clean, there was a real, honest - we defend their homeland. Well, the other - is clearly fulfilled ... Two wars, but on the other, and these people died. What once said Velimir Khlebnikov, "when people die - they sing songs." "Beautiful Love" - the song is pretty old, this song is a story, song simile. I sang it then personally Okudzhava, and she kind of liked him ... "The dream of a wonderful love with two other songs infused written over two decades ago, but after a new meaning here -" Gospel "(formerly known as" Here I sit at the window ... ") and" Tell me how you like. "Only now the dream, love is not the young man," in fear Taverns "could under the wheel fell (" Autumn "), and the veteran," a pair of glasses, quiet, a poor veteran "who go through fire and water has to drink, now in Chechnya and in the country to the Afghan general of the FSB ("General FSB"). Yet, despite all the attempts to hit him over the years, manages the main character of songs, easily recognizable "Tatar face with the name hohlyatskoy Yes "to keep the main thing - his honest and conscientious soul. He can not forget the tragedy of the submarine "Kursk" and therefore compares to the real heroes, ask yourself and others open-ended question: "How many of us, the same age who have a hero, a schmuck is? " ("Captain Kolesnikov") And he says this is the song "War is" what went down earlier in the soundtrack to the movie "Gentlemen": "May we become drinkers moral cripples, / And yet, brother, not nits. but all the same person, "By the way, the album contains other songs from the film" Smoke "has been released on CD" disappeared "in a tight arrangement - you can hear the version that approximately the original," Cinematic "Execution. On why he thinks he is a "military" such an important issue, he said Shevchuk. "I'm bad to the war - I do not love her and never loved War - is the disgusting thing that could be in human relationships ..?. But on the other hand, I do not serve in the army and serve the army and often give concerts for our soldiers Why Yes, because these guys really drawstring That there is no foreign army, it should be a - well, that's . it now is full of difficult moments: not given much away, what our army itself, so to speak, not to catch up - well, as always, you know ... But I have great respect for the soldiers and saw the prodigies of valor and courage, I saw how the people revealed in the hot spots in the war. And it was often shocked at the incredible power of the mind. It seems that the common man seems - where does it come from? I'm surprised to be, perhaps, until the day I die. ! One of the amazing miracles in people, "It was the power of the mind and the true faith, the hero to overcome trials, overcome grief, loss experience and keep up with the honest and uncompromising man - that's the story song" God respects us ... "Most of the long-standing" war "songs presented on the album. However returning from the war hero still can not be taken calmly and all the" all-Russian lawlessness "that surrounds it.'s Growing lack of spirituality" and the party's leading lights "of Tver, cynicism and corruption" moneybags Rublyovka "in theft and debauchery, Glamour entangled" pours poison ", reaching all areas of our lives - all snappy in acute and current song mocks" Moscow "and" Gypsy Girl ". Involuntarily Parallels drawn (also visible in the" General of the FSB ") are the work of another great poet and bard. With regard to the memory of Vladimir Vysotsky, whose work has a significant role in the fate of the leader of DDT Shevchuk played with pain, says: "We somehow Vysotsky / Pro sang public houses and churches - / I want to see no time / current bad ...". All songs on the album clearly understand the fate and location of the main character -. Our contemporaries whose lives mutilated little different from the hundreds and thousands of other such fates, and perelopachennyh events of recent years Work only from the trend of the series (as in it the author says, not in his own name, but only compares himself to the main character in the song) - the song "Antonina", specifically for the film "Antonina herself" by Grigory Nikulin wrote. In the role of Arkady "daffy poet, if you come, sometimes he sits in a reality, and suddenly some features of the transition - and is already in the parallel worlds and begins to wander there some verses", played Yuri Shevchuk: "The film by a woman. quite beautiful woman at some point in life, about 50-60 years old, she had a dream - not sleep and woke up and realized - I realized that she lived her life fully, the Russian woman, a contemporary. of us, looked at her husband and realizes that she never loved him, looked at his children - they like it would be quite wrong, and in general -.. had lived someone else's life in every life, there may come a time when he to look back and assess the track will. I was interested in, and write a good song. "And yet, despite the tragedy and the little mood of many songs on the album, Yuri Shevchuk, gives us to understand that there is hope for the best not die, and wonderful dreams come true! It was that convince us of the song "Alive", "New Life" and "buried bayonets." - A very positive light, filled with spring optimism, vitality and joy "In contrast to the excellent winter / spring will find us soon" - calls "live" the author, with a slight sadness dedicate these words to all the "heroic people professions" for this happy moment to wait. This is the ability to see something sweet and tender in the real world, sometimes just obnoxious and annoying, unexpected fluctuations in the accusatory and acute political sarcasm to the very personal and intimate experience, touched the core, an unwavering commitment to the ideals of goodness and justice and the desire to bring love and light of charity - the specifics of the new work of DDT. "People" album "Beautiful Love" - now a phenomenon, not only musical and social and psychological problems, so that touch on the complex inner world of poets, musicians, artists, and just an ordinary man, Yuri Shevchuk.
