Vladimir Atlantean

[Allena]

Last night on TV culture have shown the transfer of Vladimir Atlantov (who are older than 40, remember those). I envy those who are now close to a television: in 12.25 will be repeated.

Ladies and gentlemen Who has never heard the name - do not spare 40 minutes, listen to this amazing singer. Beautiful voice, culture, singing, downright Shalyapin diction (a rare event in our opera, by the way, pay attention: in a scene from "Carmen" at Atlantov understand every word, while Obraztsova - do not tell, if you do not know). In short, anyone who has the time and the TV all the time - pleasant listening!

Yes, perhaps. Frankly, except Chaliapin and Atlantov, no one else I could not remember with good diction.

20-25 years ago, shot a TV movie, where the Atlantean sings Neapolitan songs. How many years have passed, but I do remember very well. He was less than an hour yesterday, from the tiny pieces shown. Since then, as the Atlanteans left, in my opinion, this movie never showed.

He left 20 years ago in Vienna. So there and worked all these years, together with Milashkina (his wife, Tamara Milashkina, remember? Seems soprano). And why? It was all easy, and even now, he says hints. He worked at the Mariinsky Theater, and then he ordered Furtseva actually forced (!) Was transferred to the Bolshoi Theater. There, too, over 15 years of work "on it, put only one play -" Othello ". The play won the State Prize, and the leading man - nothing. As he said yesterday in Vienna, he played so many premieres, as here it would be enough for several lifetimes.
Yesterday, he delicately explained the reason for his departure that his proposals "ahead of time." I think the fact that the squeezed as they could, were not allowed to work in full force, possibly in the money. Although yesterday he showed his card from the "staff" at the Mariinsky - at the very beginning salary was 250 rubles - and really is (and he was surprised), in those days it was a lot of money, especially for a beginner.
When a man of such talent, it should work, but he was not given. Anyway, in the theater. Gergiev said yesterday that he and a small fraction have not used that could be done here in Russia. He has appeared in films, but it's "wrong". When he left (it is already, I remember), he immediately disappeared from everywhere, generally no longer remember. All films with his participation disappeared from the screen at once, and yet earlier film with Neapolitan songs were shown on the big holidays. In general, people disappeared from the cultural space - is worse than dead, dead, at least commemorate a kind word, and here - emptiness. Just as with the Vishnevskaya was.
