Description

It’s hard to imagine such a universally beloved singer—the author of this book. But the best one who managed it was Svyatoslav Belza. “A star is shining now on our stage. But, as is known since time immemorial, ‘stars differ in fame from star to star.’” A rare example of a true singer turned into a superstar is Muslim Magomayev—whose brilliance and authenticity of talent stand out especially against that starry dust that persistently tries to lure the audience with flashy glitter. Few in our domestic pop art could rival Muslim Magomayev in popularity; his delightful baritone, high artistry, and generous soul won over more than one generation of listeners. The singer never chased fickle fashion, never flirted with the public—yet his talent and charm conquered millions of hearts. Packed halls, lines of cavalry police, a sea of flowers, legends and gossip—he tasted it all to the full. And still he preserved genuine modesty, combining inner dignity with a sober sense of self-esteem."
