Pishcheev biography

Gennady Mikhailovich Pishcheev-Academic Chamber Singer of a very rare timbre-tenor-altino. The huge and unique repertoire of Gennady Pishcheev included romances, Russian folk songs, arias from operas, works of domestic composers. The bright and well -recognized voice of Gennady Pishcheeva constantly sounded on the air of Soviet radio and television. The People’s Artist of Russia Elena Kamburova told us about her first impression of acquaintance with the performing gift of Gennady Pishcheaeva.

Elena Kamburova: Dear friends, I would very much like to share my long -standing impression with you. Literally the impression of youth. You know, then I lived in such a small Ukrainian city with the name Khmelnitsky. And life was divided into life in the yard, at school, lessons. But the whole family was still plus to us all the radio. Such, remember, black round reproductors. And in our house the radio did not fall silent at all.

Only when it officially turned off at night. And, of course, I listened on the radio to so many singers. But the greatest impression on me was made by the voice of Gennady Pishcheev. His records were very often broadcast. And this name - Gennady Pishchaev I carried through my whole life. The only thing that was strange and incomprehensible, some point ...

names are changing. But some names remain on the air, and some suddenly leave. For me, this is completely incomprehensible to this day, because I am listening to the records of Gennady Pishcheev, and already matured by my hearing I understand that, of course and endlessly, this is an amazing, amazing voice. It is even surprisingly called-tenor altino. I have the feeling that if we can talk about what a voice is, what kind of creature is this, it is something reminiscent of a flight, vibration, lightness very often.

And all this is in the voice of Gennady Pishcheev. Radioblago: Gennady Pishcheev was born on July 30. From birth, fate put him in an unequal position with peers. The boy did not have a hand. But nature generously endowed Gennady Pishcheev with abilities - to drawing, sculpting, and especially brightly the musician’s talent appeared in him. The lullaby of P. Tchaikovsky performed by Gennady Pishcheev sounds.

Especially for the listeners of our program, Gennady Pishcheev spoke about his creative fate. Elena Kamburova is running the program. Elena Kamburova: I would like to just read the milestones of his biography today. His parents were ordinary people. Gennady Pishcheev’s grandfather - Stepan Pishcheev worked as a blacksmith, and they loved to sing very much in the family. And Gena, the little Gene of Pischayev, loved to sing in nature, draw the word to Gennady Pishcheev.

Gennady Pishcheev: A man was born with a voice, with hearing, and, frankly, a person was born with his inclinations and a craving for the beautiful, for music, painting, modeling, sculpting. From childhood he loved nature. And sang in nature. And then he painted. This is the world that surrounded this young man from an early age. He was surrounded by people who also sang, as usual in the village, engaged and sang.

My father Mikhail Pishcheev, for example, played an accordion, and his youngest brother sang. And they say he sang well. My father told me about it. Then he says: "You look a little like my brother." The environment is all ordinary people, farmers. There was a grandfather who was engaged in blacksmithing. Such an incredible power of physical. Therefore, I say that sometimes force is transmitted from generation to generation.

Maybe somewhere I took from him. There were strong people. They loved to sing. And the boy heard it. As a child, he always ran away, painted, sang in nature. For yourself. Here in this environment, not in a narrow room, but in the air. And you see - you absorb all nature into yourself, curiosity. Probably, there were already inclinations to this. The boy grew up.

But he did not sing at school, hesitated. Not that he was embarrassed - he, perhaps, whistled a little ... Well, as usual in schools were engaged in amateur performances, but no one knew that Genka was singing. And he knows how to sing, besides the fact that he also knows how to draw. And he painted - everyone knew. The guys who came to me from other classes and asked: “How to draw here”?

I corrected something in these drawings. But I never graduated from any fiction establishments. It was all amateurous, it was a tie. He himself was engaged in drawing. It all gave me pleasure. How to portray all this on paper, how it is all with paints, watercolors, how it is to take clay and sculpt. By the way, he blinded his head, bust. It is a pity that my grandmother accidentally broke and complained terribly.

And my father, when I sculpted, came up and began to sculpt too. And he says: “Listen, a very interesting activity! It was all according to a hunch, an intuitive craving for a beautiful. He did not give much such attention to an art. So I wanted to draw, I painted, I wanted to sing, I sang. I wanted to walk in nature ... I wanted to - I crossed the river. Because with the guys. Was very mobile and viable.

But I had to overcome a lot of difficulties. This is a difficulty. It was necessary to get used to life. So you think, then everyone got used to it, then it was difficult to throw us fate.At first we lived in Bashkiria, then we went to Murmansk. The war found us in Murmansk. Father went to the front, and we were evacuated to Bashkiria, because grandfather and grandmother lived in Bashkiria.

And we came to them, evacuated. I have never been to the front. I was a very little boy. And the war began when I was 14 years old. And I needed to assert myself all my life from birth.

And fight. That I have to live and do something. And I have to assert myself. Whatever the hardships presented me to fate. And it was necessary to win everything.
