Denis Leonidovich Matsuev - Short Biography

Russian virtuoso pianist and musical and public figure.

People's Artist of the Russian Federation, laureate of the State Prize of the Russian Federation.

In 2004, Denis Matsuev organized the international festival "Stars on Baikal", which now takes place every year in Irkutsk.

Artistic director of the Crescendo competition, a forum for young musicians that has been held since 2003.

In his native Irkutsk, he opened a concert hall for 60 people, it is called the House of Music of Denis Matsuev. The city also does not forget about Denis - in 2001, the musician Matsuev was awarded the title of "Honorary Citizen of Irkutsk".

Denis Matsuev prefers to remain silent about his personal life, however, he was not married, he has no children.

In the biography, a young guy from Irkutsk, Denis Matsuev, had no chance of escaping a profession related to music! His parents were directly connected with the world of harmony of sounds. Music teacher mom and leading composer at the theater school dad - figuratively speaking, Matsuev's entire childhood biography was accompanied by music.

While still very young, Denis greatly pleased his parents: he went to the piano and played a melody from the weather forecast, which he heard every evening on the evening TV news program. Exchanging glances, mom and dad understood each other without words, and the future of their son was decided. No, no, this does not mean at all that since then he was forced to sit at the keys and hammer out a boring solfeggio.

There was enough time to drive with the boys in the yard, and to break away at the hockey and football stadiums. Actually, he had no complaints about the piano either - he really liked it. Years later, in his interview, Denis will give his parents potential talents useful advice: Don't force children to play! Everyone needs their time - someone an hour, someone four. And there is no point in coercion.

In order not to sacrifice the childhood of their child to future achievements, reasonable adults completely adjusted to it. Two grandmothers hurried to retire early, if only to help the young talent, look after him and in every possible way encourage his desire to learn the game. Of course, very soon all this bore fruit!

Already at the age of 9, Denis played a Haydn concerto with the Irkutsk Symphony Orchestra on the stage of the main city philharmonic society. Sounds impressive, doesn't it? Nevertheless, like any normal child, the guy sometimes rebelled: he was tired of his gift, and he tried to run away to the yard boys to play football, fight, - in general, to do what a child prodigy like him was not in status. In addition, he simply raved about sports!

In the capital, they learned about the young talent even before Denis graduated from school. Simultaneously with the certificate of secondary education, Matsuev received an invitation to study at the school at the conservatory. They took it without exams. Thousands of young pianists dream of it, but the chance has come young genius. A bright future itself went into his hands, but Denis rebelled - he did not want to leave Irkutsk.

Manipulations went into action: the father hinted that in the capital Denis would be able to go to the matches of the most famous football teams. Only after that the guy got on the train Irkutsk - Moscow. The whole family, sacrificing their career, followed their son, and the grandmother sold her apartment for the sake of her future grandson.

So, Denis Matsuev came to Moscow with his parents and with 14 thousand dollars, which at that time was a very decent amount. Through quite a short time the boy won his first metropolitan competition, began to communicate with leading musicians and travel abroad. Where he just did not perform!

Both in the Vatican and Buckingham Palace, and even at the UN headquarters! But the modest Denis did not turn up his nose: of course, he liked all these capitals of the world, but he loved his homeland no less and traveled around Russia with tours in a reserved seat car. And when they asked him "Why?", he answered: "At the call of the heart."

Denis Matsuev - And sports, and piano, and love

Of course, the dream of not missing a single match of the beloved Spartak at Luzhniki remained a dream - the tour schedule turned out to be too tight. But, despite this, Denis did not leave his passion, but on the contrary, he himself became a player in the Starko football team. Once he even ended the Stars on Baikal festival with a football match - his fellow musicians became the players.

“And what about Matsuev’s personal life?” - you ask. Talking about it is taboo. In various interviews, he calls music the love of his life. Classical - a wife, and jazz - a mistress. "How so?" - Journalists ask in unison. A young, active, athletic, talented and world-famous man still does not have a lady of the heart?

To all this, Denis replies that due to the tight schedule and constant flights, there is a catastrophic lack of time for personal life. However, a real man and should not rattle the names of those he meets. So what if newspapers, magazines and tabloids are full of photos of him with beautiful strangers? There is no talk of marriage or long-term relationships.

Denis Matsuev understands that it will not be easy for his wife to accept his way of life. She will miss him all the time. Relationships where the family is sacrificed to work are easily destroyed, but is this what he strives for?

In general, Matsuev takes love very seriously and is somewhat old-fashioned: he does not recognize communication on the Internet, Skype and SMS. He loves to look into the eyes, give flowers - in general, a romantic! 12992

Remember how, as children, we clung to the TV screen when our favorite film, The Three Musketeers, was on there. As we admired the fearless trio of musketeers, we sang along with the young d. Artagnan "It's time, time, we will rejoice in our lifetime." And how unpleasant we were the cunning Cardinal Richelieu, Rochefort and the most negative hero of the novel - Milady. She - the Countess de La Fère, Lady Winter - constantly pursued our heroes, created intrigues and brought death with her. But at the same time, some force attracted to this woman branded with a lily flower, her strength and cunning also deserved admiration ....

I don't believe in a child.
Here on all psychological sites they write: the main thing is faith in the child, support from parents.
Excellent, gentlemen psychologists.
And if there is no faith in the child? Well, you don't believe in him.
Always stupid children, children with SR, unteachable - they are somewhere out there, far away, in other families.
And you're talking about faith like that.

What if you have? If you yourself have an unteachable degrading child?
Whereas? Chanting "We believe in ourselves!" like in the finale of the movie "Requiem for a Dream"?
Spit and not do at all?
So the public is pushing.
- Ah, he will go to a school for fools (and he belongs there anyway,
because he is a fool)!
- Oh, you yourself are ruining your child.
- But with Tanya-Kolya-Petya they are engaged, and they have progress, but you do not study, and Vasya loses his skills.

And how to deal with it? How to force yourself? How to force it, Egyptian power?
So he sat down to study - and the province went for a walk:
You give him a finger in a book, and he plays cars with his other hand.
You remove the cars - it just spins.
You try to read a book - at every word he interrupts and carries some kind of heresy.
And yelling, yelling, yelling, spitting (sorry) on your clothes, poking a finger in your eyes, throwing things...

Sometimes I want to talk about my problem.
But who will you talk to?
With husband? He himself is horrified.
With parents? They won't listen, they'll say, "It's my own fault," or, "I don't have the nerve for all these things."
It's good when you can just say "I don't have enough nerves" and go home (hang up the phone, log out of Skype...).
And you can't afford that luxury. You have to spend the rest of your life with this child.
Every day, day after day. Always. You're on life, darling.

And you're always to blame, no matter what you do.
Do you give pills? - Badly. Don't you? - even worse.
Doing - breaking down - yelling? It’s bad, you can’t yell, it loosens the already pampered system of the child,
that jumps on your head while you lie half dead.
Are you not busy? It’s bad - the child doesn’t shine even now, but it will grow even more trenchant.
I went for a walk with him on the street, does he beat passers-by there? Too bad, take him home.
Are you at home with him? It's bad, the child needs to move.
In short, from all sides bad, whatever one may say. For others, it is bad, but for oneself it is the embodiment of evil on earth.

You can go to the forum - there you will grab so much abuse that it lasts an average of six months.

Phew, I spoke up.
Let's chat, shall we?
Tell us about your difficulties with children and how you overcame them. Or not overcome.
If you really want to run with slippers - well, run, now what to do with you ...

Girls, please support.

I live with my husband and 4 year old child. Relatively recently I went to work, I'm just getting used to it and life is getting better. But it got worse with her husband. He stopped funding me completely. He doesn't even give me food or travel. He looks for something in my things, looks at the contents of my bag, pockets, reads the messenger on the phone, reads the browser history. She put on the wrong thing, put the plate in the wrong place, etc. She reproaches me with new clothes. It became very hard. No hello, no reply. He goes to his parents, communicates with relatives, and I'm all at work or alone with the child on weekends.

The topic of divorce has been around for a long time. But I was not ready to move out to rented accommodation with a child. Once he changed the locks in my apartment in my absence. The child was 6 months old. I stood for 5 hours with a child in my arms at the entrance (((then my parents did not support me, there was simply nowhere to go, there was no one to leave the child ... Then, apparently, he took pity, let him in. Live. There were a lot of things. But I didn’t dare to leave. It sucked like a swamp It seems that I will not arrange my life, I will not earn money for housing.

Support positive experience. I am depressed and desperate.

The prima ballerina of the Bolshoi Theater Ekaterina Shipulina told La Personne about the premiere of Nureyev and about her creative search.

Let's start with Nureyev. Opinions about the performance were divided: someone was delighted, someone did not understand at all what the hype was about. It is interesting to know your opinion, the person who was inside this work.

Many people asked me about my impressions after the premiere, but it's hard for me to evaluate. This show is like a child to me. All of us, the participants in the performance, have been working on this ballet since the very first day, sometimes we didn’t even treat it very adequately. Of course, we fell in love with him, by the end we liked everything about him.

I like this performance.

You danced the monologue "Diva", where you had to tell the story of two divas: Natalia Makarova and Alla Osipenko. How were these roles formed?

Everything came from Yuri Posokhov, who put such a correct choreography to music and text. When staging, he proceeded from the letters written by these ballerinas, in particular, from words and even intonations. Of course, this is what played a big role. I think it is the choreography that touches the viewer's most subtle feelings and evokes strong emotions.

In your opinion, why is there no such ballet dancer as Nureyev in our time?

I think he was such a special person, headstrong and freedom-loving. Now artists may be afraid of losing their jobs, stability, although nowadays you can go abroad without any problems. I don't know the exact answer. He was one of the first such rebels. Now there are also outrageous, scandalous artists, but now all this is no longer relevant. Gone are the days when it was interesting. Now artists try to behave with dignity, this is considered professionalism.

When creative person goes into secular life - does it interfere or not, what do you think?

With Nureyev, it was organic, he did not force himself. For many, this image is part of the image. I think if it's fun, why not?..

When you look at your Instagram, you get the impression that you are very open man. But it is clearly seen that this is the outer side of life. Is it such a position not to open your personal life for show?

Yes. Personal life is personal, to remain behind the scenes. When people flaunt their relationships, their families and children, most often it looks unnatural. There is some show in this.

You studied at the Perm School, but then moved to the Moscow Academy of Choreography. What prompted you to take this step, ambition?

At that moment, no. It was a coincidence, since the parents, being the premieres of the Perm Theater, were invited by Bryantsev to the Muses. theatre. Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko. Of course, they agreed, and literally a year later my mother took us to a Moscow school. It's great that I had experience teaching with different methods. I studied in Moscow for 4 years. It was at the Moscow Academy of Choreography that I felt some leadership qualities in myself, of course, I only wanted to go to the Bolshoi. Where else?

Did you imagine that someday you will become the prima of this theater?

Probably not. I started with the second corps de ballet, went to courtiers, sat on a bench. In general, I went through all the stages.

Is it difficult when parents are ballet?

On the one hand, yes. They tell you 24 hours a day what to do and how to do it. It is you who eventually understand that parents say the right things. In fact, I am very grateful to them for the fact that they did not discourage the desire for this art.

During the time that you have been dancing in the theater, many leaders have changed ...

This is true!

What would you recommend for a leadership change?

Yes. This is hard. You seem to have already achieved something, and then another person comes and you prove everything again. Each leader has his own opinion, his own tastes. The artist may be great, but the manager may not like it.

And how to be in such a situation?

Work!

What do you have in your life besides ballet?

IN Lately there is less opportunity to go somewhere, meet friends, although I try to find time for meetings and drama theater. Now the priority is the child. I don't even want to leave him, to be honest.

I would like to return to our photo session in the museum-apartment of Galina Ulanova. We did not just invite you to this photo story. You are currently working with Nadezhda Gracheva, who was the last student of Galina Ulanova. Tell me, how often does she share Galina Sergeevna's remarks with you at rehearsals?

She speaks very sincerely about Galina Sergeevna. They were connected by many things, Nadezhda Alexandrovna began her career in the theater with her and, of course, Galina Ulanova gave her a lot in creative terms. Besides, she's a legend!

Suit and coat A La Russe Anastasia Romantsova

As for the remarks, I just remembered, the remark about Saint-Saens' "Swan". There is no clear system in this number, there is a canvas, and each ballerina has her own hands and poses. And so, Nadezhda Alexandrovna said that Ulanova appeared in this issue without suffering right away, as most ballerinas do. She had such a concept that the swan appears proud, beautiful, yet not tragic. He doesn't die right away.

And finally, what would you wish your viewers for the New Year?

Of course, good health! Live and enjoy every second! Inspiration and fulfillment of all dreams! And by all means go to the theater, enjoy, empathize and have fun!

Such a stir around the name of this wonderful ballerina arose by no means by chance, because quite recently she gave birth to a daughter (October 31, 2016), whose father was the world-famous Russian pianist Denis Matsuev. Meanwhile, Ekaterina Shipulina is a ballerina whose personal life for a long time was not advertised, so it is not difficult to imagine how this news surprised her fans.

And no wonder, because only recently the public was glad that Ekaterina Shipulina and Denis Matsuev got married after a ten-year relationship, as it turned out that they had become parents. But the real shock of the fans of the creative couple was ahead, because in the end it turned out that Denis and Katya did not sign at all, but simply celebrated a magnificent engagement and it never came to an official marriage, even after the birth of their long-awaited first child. A little later, in an interview, the pianist reacted rather harshly to another question about the wedding, emphasizing that he was not going to the registry office, as he was very happy in his personal life and without a stamp in his passport. Meanwhile, Matsuev turns 42 this year, while his beloved Ekaterina will be 38, although, probably, in modern world there are no limits to tying themselves in the bonds of Hymen and this wonderful couple has a long way to go.

One should not be surprised at the peculiar restraint of Ekaterina Shipulina, whose personal life over a long period of time was far from the most in the best way, and all because the ballerina constantly improved her skills, spending days on end in training. Of course, all these efforts gave a tremendous result, because today Katya is the prima ballerina of the Bolshoi Theater, which every dancer dreams of, and in 2009, in addition to everything else, she was also awarded the title of People's Artist Russian Federation. However, in fairness, it should be noted that such a high standard for this wonderful dancer was originally set by her mother, Lyudmila Shipulina, who danced all her life in ballet troupe on the stage of the Perm Theatre.

So, in one of candid interviews the girl admitted that her mother has always been her toughest critic, forcing her to set the most incredible goals and go to them at all costs, overcoming unbearable pain, fatigue and laziness, even with the help of painkillers.

But Ekaterina Shipulina did not become a ballerina of the Bolshoi Theater right away, because for several years she had to study ballet skills at a choreographic school in her native Perm, while simultaneously performing on the stage of her theater, and for another four years at the Moscow School of Classical Dance (class of Lyudmila Sergeevna Litavkina) . And only in 1998 she was enrolled in the troupe of the Bolshoi Theater, on the stage of which in the very first season she was lucky enough to dance in La Bayadere and The Nutcracker. Next year turned out to be even more generous for Catherine, because she was offered to dance in such magnificent productions as Giselle, The Little Humpbacked Horse, Don Quixote, Chopiniana, albeit not in the first parties. A real triumph awaited the ballerina in 2002, because it was this year that she had the opportunity to perform the parts of Odile and Odette in the world-famous "Swan Lake" - the dream of every dancer.

With this part and the part in Giselle, Ekaterina begins to tour the most famous cities world, and in 2003 she had a chance to conquer the American audience during a speech at the Kennedy Center. After that, there was Paris, Tokyo, Rome and many other beautiful places, so it is not surprising that Shipulina simply had neither the strength nor the time for any personal stories. And only in 2006, at one of the social events, she happened to meet Denis Matsuev, who accidentally ended up with Katya in the same company of mutual friends. It is noteworthy that the spark between the guys flew right away, because both were young, beautiful, and most importantly, everyone was talented in their field. In addition, Denis also had a huge experience behind him, because having been born into a musical family in distant Irkutsk, he, like Katya, was able to conquer the capital.

In 2009, Matsuev was awarded the title of laureate of the State Prize of the Russian Federation, and in 2011 People's Artist, which is a huge achievement for every figure. As for his relationship with the ballerina, it should be noted that this couple is united not only by a love of art, but also by some interesting hobbies.

So, for example, few people know that Katya Shipulina is seriously interested in skating and water skiing, and also madly in love with traveling with her lover. In addition, this wonderful couple was noticed more than once on various ski resorts on skis and snowmobiles.
