Alexander Naumenko's life path: biography, creative path and interesting facts

Naumenko Alexander Anatolyevich passed a great life school. From the boy from the village of Vorozhba in the Sumy region, who sang along with himself playing the accordion, he turned into a world-size star, which is subject to the entire bass repertoire.

The pages of Alexander Naumenko's life

In a small town Vorozhba, which stands on the steep banks of the river Viry, in 1956 was born in the family of the teacher of the music school, the boy Sasha. From childhood in the house music sounded when the father picked up a button accordion and was sung by his mother - a Cossack woman who had a good voice and hearing.

The Kid sang with pleasure to the parents. And when he grew up, his parents took Alexander Naumenko to the first class of a music school, and the child, following his father's example, chose a button accordion. Probably, it was amusing to look at the little boy with a big instrument in his hands, because of which he was barely visible in the first year. His stepbrother mother Nikolai Dobrynin, of whom we will talk later, also went to music school, only a musician from him turned out, although he was seriously engaged in playing the piano. In the meantime, we will continue the story about Alexander Naumenko.

Between Taganrog and Rostov

When the school was over, the young man was admitted to the music school for the conductor-choir department. Then he went to the Rostov Conservatory, where he began to practice vocal. Alexandra Naumenko led the fate.

The young man traveled daily from Taganrog to Rostov or by bus, or by train. The road took one way two hours. He had to get up early, and when he returned, the young man almost immediately went to the variety orchestra for work. The repertoire of Alexander Naumenko at that time consisted of the songs of Muslim Magomayev. On the opera the beginning singer had rather vague ideas, but felt that he needed to develop.

And then he learned that from the capital came the teacher Hugo Ionatanovich Tits, who organizes auditions and searches in the province for talents. Having shown his perseverance, Naumenko appeared before the teacher to find out what he was like. The recommendation inspired: he received advice to enter the Moscow Conservatory. Without thinking, Alexander went to Moscow. He hoped, and worried, but the competition was so huge that it was not accepted. Full of disappointment, he returned to Taganrog and decided to give up empty dreams.

At the factory

Alexandra Naumenko threw life at the tannery. He became a fatty. The plant produced various types of leather intended for making shoes. Alexander walked between the huge barrels of fat and opened and closed the taps in them, filling the vats with skin with fats, in which it softened. At the plant there was a reconstruction, the territory was landscaped, and the pain of regrets and sorrows gradually fell into the background.

Quite unexpectedly, Alexander Naumenko, who had lost all illusions, received a letter from the capital. He was summoned to study at the conservatory. The signature was painfully familiar: GI Tits.

In the Conservatory

In the class of Hugo Ionatanovich Naumenko, Alexander studied seriously. He practiced the correct breathing, the ability to support sound on the diaphragm, or, in other words, comprehend all the subtleties of the profession. At the age of 29 he graduated from the conservatory and entered postgraduate school. His teacher was a professor, Honored Artist of the RSFSR Nina Lvovna Dorliak, who at that time was already 77 years old. This intelligent lady, whose mother in her youth was a maid of honor at the court, and later an opera singer and teacher, instilled in her students not only knowledge, but also exquisite manners, the ability to stay in public, the ability to listen to the best professionals.
