Sergei Lyubavin: “Family is too personal a world where I have closed access to outsiders. Sergei Lyubavin

Russian singer-songwriter, poet, composer and actor with a new one concert program“Save the last dance for me...” The artist will perform, accompanied by a symphony orchestra, on the stage of the Palace of the Republic on March 28.

The site's correspondent met with Sergei Lyubavin on the eve of March 8 and learned from the artist what a modern family should look like and how to make the woman he loves happy, and also asked him about new impressions in Minsk.

– I come to Minsk from noisy Moscow and feel as comfortable as in a European city. The traditional friendly attitude of the people complements and adorns the city. You go to breakfast in a hotel or restaurant and meet people who serve you with a smile. This has always distinguished Belarus from other countries. In general, I come to you as if it were my home, and I don’t feel any difference, I don’t feel like I’m abroad - it’s very pleasant.

With all the beauty of Western European cities, magnificent nature, alpine freshness, after several days abroad, you still want to go home. And when I talk with people who moved from Russia or Ukraine to Europe, I come across the opinion that life there is not easy for “ours”, they are treated like foreigners. There are some negative aspects. Therefore, vacationing abroad is yes, living is no.

I myself was born in Siberia, and if it so happened that I moved to live in Minsk, I would not feel like a foreigner here. I repeat: I feel at home in Minsk. Maybe this is the main difference between Minsk. This city always greets me with such a kind aura and energy.

– Your songs are about love for women. Tell me, how can a man learn to understand a woman enough to make her happy every day?

– It seems to me that this cannot be done. Or maybe it’s not even necessary. Everything in life is black and white. Imagine a situation where a woman’s life is full of endless happiness, which ultimately cannot be perceived as joy. There it is. But how difficult and serious our lives are, including those of our women. Therefore, gifts from men and attention to contrast make them happy. Helping and supporting women is the main goal for a man.

– What should a modern family generally look like, how should the roles of men and women be distributed in it?

– People meet and unite according to the principle “we feel good together” – this is the basis. A man earns money, keeps a budget, provides for his wife and children - this is a classic. I have an example, my friend Andrey is a former chef, he cooks superbly. And my wife is a businesswoman and earns money. They love each other and have lived together for more than 15 years, they have two children. He took upon himself everything that, in the classical sense, a woman should do: cleaning, cooking.

There are different variants: how do you distribute who earns more, who earns less, who has the loan, and so on. It's up to you to decide. A child should go to kindergarten or hire a nanny - this is all so individual, and one cannot give unambiguous “correct” assessments of this. The main recipe for family longevity is “we feel good together.”

– You have an adult son, how did you raise him to be a man?

– Every parent strives to contribute something of their own. My son has been playing professional hockey since he was 7 years old. Played in clubs good seasons there were results. When my son turned 20, he decided that professional sports was not for him. However, while still in sports, he began to engage in business. His current job is related to hockey: he conducts master classes and loves his job very much. By the way, this is now in great demand in Russia and Belarus.

I believe that it is necessary to play sports. Nowadays, when everyone leaves the house, gets into the car, goes to work, sits in the office, then gets back into the car... By the age of thirty, you can get all the diseases of the back and everything else. After all, there is no movement. Women and men should definitely play sports.

I have five memberships that I don't use. (Smiles.) In general, I really love the Russian bathhouse, I go to fitness. While on tour there is an opportunity to work out in hotels. In Minsk I stayed at the Renaissance Hotel. I went to the sauna, swam in the pool, visited the fitness room - the aura was cool. After all, my job is very unsportsmanlike. You move on stage for two hours, and the rest is travel and flights. When I come to different cities and countries, I go to the gyms in hotels and work out, and compensate for the lack of movement.

– Yes, there are several romances in my repertoire. But I don’t sing like Alexander Malinin, only romances. My work is rather similar to its Western counterparts - Julio Iglesias, Luis Miguel, Lara Fabian. Symphonic pop is a fashionable pop genre that is now popular in Europe. Within its framework I make arrangements. Popular music, beautiful melodic songs, which were made with the participation of a symphony orchestra. This adds beauty to the arrangements. The string group is especially often used.

For now, I’m interested in growing and moving in this direction. There are several favorite poets - Lermontov, Blok, Tsvetaeva, and in my concert there are one or two romances, which I always perform to the accompaniment of a guitar or piano. It's a classic and audiences love it.

Sergei Lyubavin has 12 studio albums, several DVDs with concert recordings and video clips. The musician participated in the festivals "Jurmala-93", "Radio Chanson" "Eh, take a walk!" (2011–2014). He also won the “Free Song” festival (1998) and won the “Chanson of the Year” award in the Kremlin (2011–2013).

– Pop classics are a genre where you can’t run out of options when it comes to choosing costumes. These are definitely not Swarovski rhinestones or feathers, which are characteristic of the subculture. When I try to change something, choose images, I think about how a female audience will appreciate it.

Our first department is a symphony orchestra, a string group. Dress code: suit, classic tailcoat, bow tie. In the second section there may be different options: this is a more summer option, some light jeans, club jackets, something that doesn’t bother you and is comfortable to perform in.

If we turn to the legislators of the pop genre - Frank Sinatra, Julio Iglesias. For us it’s Valery Obodzinsky, for you it’s a wonderful group, my favorite – “Pesnyary” by Vladimir Mulyavin. “Pesnyary” has beautiful, simply chic folk costumes, because they tried to work within the framework of folk-rock culture. The stage must remain intact male image. Folk costumes with ornaments are great, the group comes out, and you can immediately tell that men have come out. I also try to comply with some canons.

– The main thing is not expensive gifts, but an attentive attitude towards a woman. Even a small surprise that can intrigue a woman. You can say before the holiday: “Honey, I’m preparing a surprise for you” - and the woman will languish in pleasant anticipation. These could be tickets to the theater or cinema. A woman loves signs of attention from her beloved man; for her this can be the most important thing in life. And therefore there is only one recipe - love and attention to your woman.

I try to do this in relationships. By the way, here's an example. Just a month ago, I received a request in my email from a fan who has been following my work for ten years. He had a serious event in his life - he was getting ready to get married. I asked you to congratulate me. His wife is also a fan of my work. I recorded it on video" Dear friends, Alexander and Maria, congratulations on your wedding!" And I sent him a video. There was so much delight at the wedding, they thanked us: "The artist Sergei Lyubavin congratulated us, how great!" And of course, it was nice for me too.

An excerpt characterizing Lyubavin, Sergei Petrovich

By nine o'clock in the morning, when the troops had already moved through Moscow, no one else came to ask the count's orders. Everyone who could go did so of their own accord; those who remained decided with themselves what they had to do.
The count ordered the horses to be brought in to go to Sokolniki, and, frowning, yellow and silent, with folded hands, he sat in his office.
In calm, not stormy times, it seems to every administrator that it is only through his efforts that the entire population under his control moves, and in this consciousness of his necessity, every administrator feels the main reward for his labors and efforts. It is clear that as long as the historical sea is calm, the ruler-administrator, with his fragile boat resting his pole against the ship of the people and himself moving, must seem to him that through his efforts the ship he is resting against is moving. But as soon as a storm arises, the sea becomes agitated and the ship itself moves, then delusion is impossible. The ship moves with its enormous, independent speed, the pole does not reach the moving ship, and the ruler suddenly goes from the position of a ruler, a source of strength, into an insignificant, useless and weak person.
Rastopchin felt this, and it irritated him. The police chief, who was stopped by the crowd, together with the adjutant, who came to report that the horses were ready, entered the count. Both were pale, and the police chief, reporting the execution of his assignment, said that in the count’s courtyard there was a huge crowd of people who wanted to see him.
Rastopchin, without answering a word, stood up and with quick steps walked into his luxurious, bright living room, walked up to the balcony door, grabbed the handle, left it and moved to the window, from which he could see the whole crowd. A tall fellow stood in the front rows and with a stern face, waving his hand, said something. The bloody blacksmith stood next to him with a gloomy look. The hum of voices could be heard through the closed windows.
- Is the crew ready? - said Rastopchin, moving away from the window.
“Ready, your Excellency,” said the adjutant.
Rastopchin again approached the balcony door.
- What do they want? – he asked the police chief.
- Your Excellency, they say that they were going to go against the French on your orders, they shouted something about treason. But a violent crowd, your Excellency. I left by force. Your Excellency, I dare to suggest...
“If you please, go, I know what to do without you,” Rostopchin shouted angrily. He stood at the balcony door, looking out at the crowd. “This is what they did to Russia! This is what they did to me!” - thought Rostopchin, feeling an uncontrollable anger rising in his soul against someone to whom the cause of everything that happened could be attributed. As often happens with hot-tempered people, anger was already possessing him, but he was looking for another subject for it. “La voila la populace, la lie du peuple,” he thought, looking at the crowd, “la plebe qu"ils ont soulevee par leur sottise. Il leur faut une victime, [“Here he is, people, these scum of the population, the plebeians, whom they raised with their stupidity! They need a victim."] - it came to his mind, looking at the tall fellow waving his hand. And for the same reason it came to his mind that he himself needed this victim, this object for his anger.
- Is the crew ready? – he asked another time.
- Ready, Your Excellency. What do you order about Vereshchagin? “He’s waiting at the porch,” answered the adjutant.
- A! - Rostopchin cried out, as if struck by some unexpected memory.
And, quickly opening the door, he stepped out onto the balcony with decisive steps. The conversation suddenly stopped, hats and caps were taken off, and all eyes rose to the count who had come out.
- Hello guys! - the count said quickly and loudly. - Thank you for coming. I’ll come out to you now, but first of all we need to deal with the villain. We need to punish the villain who killed Moscow. Wait for me! “And the count just as quickly returned to his chambers, slamming the door firmly.
A murmur of pleasure ran through the crowd. “That means he will control all the villains! And you say French... he’ll give you the whole distance!” - people said, as if reproaching each other for their lack of faith.
A few minutes later an officer hurriedly came out of the front doors, ordered something, and the dragoons stood up. The crowd from the balcony eagerly moved towards the porch. Walking out onto the porch with angry, quick steps, Rostopchin hurriedly looked around him, as if looking for someone.

We can talk about the artist Sergei Lyubavin endlessly, but we will dwell only on the main stages of his creative biography:

Sergei was born and raised in the city of Novosibirsk, in the family of the famous Siberian writer Pyotr Pavlovich Dedov. Back in Siberia in 1981, Sergei Lyubavin created his first school musical group, and by the end of the 80s he became a vocalist professional group"Voyage".

In the early 90s, Sergei came to Moscow. Faculty of Journalism, then - vocal studio schools named after Gnesins. Even then, Lyubavin wrote his songs and recorded them at the studios of Alexander Kalyanov and Vladimir Markin.

Lyubavin’s first official album, “Seventeen and a Half,” was released at Soyuz studio in 1994. It included both well-known yard songs (“Seventeen and a half”, “Lanterns”), and some of Sergei’s original works, which are remembered and loved to this day. A striking example That's why the song "Sanya".

Now, after almost ten years and eight albums (the ninth will appear in June), in Sergei Lyubavin’s repertoire you can find songs, both simple “boyish” ones and songs based on poems by classical poets, incl. Sergei Yesenin ("Farewell to Isadora"), folk songs ("Kalina Krasnaya", "Cherry"), and songs from films ("Black Raven", "Love, brothers...", "I called the horse"). But the main part of Sergei Lyubavin’s repertoire consists of original songs, songs written with soul, with sincere love for his Russia, for the Russian people. Just as in life, these songs echo both the hard fate of a simple worker and the all-consuming love that only a Russian person is capable of. Of course, there is a place for cheerful and catchy songs. It’s not for nothing that in Rus' they say “Be sad, so be sad; love, so love; walk, so walk.”
