Shipkov Igor Biography

We had to meet with him on a record of several numbers with his participation at VDNH, and then record the air in the kitchen of talents by Valery Bolotov. And then he tells me at the SMS that in the morning, before the concert, at 11 hours, one performance is planned in Northern Tushino and if I want to see it to come to the specified address. Which I did. It turned out to be the house of veterans, and in fact, the nursing home, where the children and tired of their old people give them there to “live”.

A terrible place, despite the fact that in fact it turned out to be a good, modern and advanced complex, with a beautiful, new medical equipment, a large and bright dining room, its own clinic, wonderful nurses and nannies. I immediately thought that was it really not my old wife for her only 49! Well, okay, life will show ... And here Igor Shipkov and the concert came to the huge scene of the assembly hall, in which only a few people came.

You know, I thought he would work on the stage of half -heartedly, because in the afternoon the recording of several songs with his participation, and he immediately, immediately began to give all the way so much that the pensioners who were there began to sing along with him, to run out like children, to dance and enjoy life! The "sundress" radio worked. Half an hour later the hall was cunning in the audience.

Who could, came himself, someone brought the orderlies under the arms of the arms, someone was brought on carts, and someone right on their beds on the wheels. And all of them, for some time, forgot about their diseases, about their negligent relatives who sent them here, to the elderly house, rejoiced and cried with happiness! I was just shocked! And Igor Shipkov, not paying attention to all this, disinterestedly, and of course -, for free, played and sang his wonderful songs!

This, a huge soul is a man, he turned out to be! His speech in the open air at VDNH was brilliant, Igor was, as always, in the blow and when we arrived at Valery Bolotov’s house for recording, I was already ready to talk with him, the harmonious of the golden Zavolokinskaya dozens, the national harmonist of Russia - Igor Shipkov! Soon, the shooting of the program about the accordion in the house of Valery Bolotov, General Director of the Production Center "Monks - the People's Soul", and the harmonist Igor Shipkov in a beautiful concert shirt, unusually beautifully played and sang his songs, as if he had no concerts behind him.

He began his performance with the “Larisa” famous and beloved by all, and then the song “Play, accordion sounded! Igor, was familiar with the Zavolokin brothers - Gennady and Alexander, and then with the children of Gennady - Zakhar and Anastasia. This song was written to the anniversary of the program “Play, Harmony, beloved”, which comes out in the morning at the weekend according to the first program of central television: “Play, accordion!

We do not miss Nastya and Zakhar, and we dance and sing with them! In the city, I went with her to the specific park in Leningrad, to the Piglet, where the harmonists gathered then. They came to play, sing, the whole crowd was going to, the enthusiasm was such that it was impossible to resist: dances, songs, ditties sounded! I have already been 10 years old, as now, I remember, I dacked and sang ditties, and earned two pockets of sweets!

He came there to play every weekend and who “fed” me with gingerbread, drying, someone gave me a concert shirt. That's how it all began, from early childhood. Well, then, in my opinion, a year later, one and a half I was invited to the folklore ensemble. There, already traditional folk culture prevailed, I was taught not only to play, but also how to stay on stage, how to sing Russian and folk songs, put me in a rooster, and boots.

The first money appeared, bought water, gingerbread, sweets, all kinds of goodies, fed the entire ensemble! Thanks to the 1st place in Czechoslovakia in the city, I had to accumulate and make a contribution to dollars! And again I become a laureate of this competition and get a little accordion as a gift! And winning that competition was simply unrealistic! It was conducted by the professor of the conservatory Oleg Sharov and all Leningrad higher educational institutions: senior students of these universities masterfully played on accordions, Bayanians and harmonies.

You can imagine what the level was there! And yet I won him! In the year, at the age of 14, I become the harmonious of the second golden Zolokinskaya dozens! This is the highest bar that the harmonist can take! And from the threshold, a fair wind took me away! Valery Nikolayevich Bolotov had one unique accordion of the master Mokratsov and Igor brilliantly played Fugi Bach on it!

Look at the clip at the end of the article and listen to how he plays on it not only Bach and Mozart, but also Russian tunes. This is above all words! When I asked if he played at weddings, Shipkov played and sang: “There is a cup of gold, gold, he poured, poured, poured it, served for the bride, served ...” “My heart with my mind is not in the fret” The next song in his performance was called.

Dear friends!Just do not explain the words, please listen to the songs performed by this truly brilliant harmonist - Igor Vadimovich Shipkov, a musician with a capital letter! An unusually beautiful song sounded - "poplar and mountain ash." Honestly, I thought that it was folk, and it turned out to be the author’s and, whose I would think, of course, Igor Shipkov! And there were not one such “discoveries”.

You know, dear friends, I do not understand, but he plays so easily and at ease, as if he absorbed it with his mother’s milk, bypassing all unthinkable and already open laws of physics! Valery Bolotov suddenly turned out to be “piano in the bushes”, namely the electronic piano, and Igor Shipkov began to play with one hand on it, and the second on Russian harmonies, and then vice versa!

It looked extremely unusual. Bolotov grabbed the camera from the rack, ran up and began to shoot this game. Be sure to look at this video, you will be pleasantly surprised and even amazed. All households fled to the third floor, to the attic of the talents of the house near Moscow in Vestra! This evening, the feast, military, copyright, courtyards, Russian and folk songs sounded for a long time - “the sea is widely spread”, “Varangian”, “Oh, frost, frost”, “My dear,” “My Otrada lives”, “The snow -white cherry has blossomed under the window”, “Katyusha” and, of course, songs from his last album!

The ether was nearing completion and I asked Igor Shipkov to sing in the end to everyone’s beloved song “You fly my horse”: “On the road is even, my horse rides quickly, life burns with fire and the Talia woman cries! You tell me my fate, without melting the truth, where the desired one is. Where is my love? You fly my horse, you bring me. I don’t know where my love is! Bravo, Igor!
