Until now, television, radio and the press often bypass the category of people who at all times have their own, clearly expressed DIFFERENT opinion - namely, Alexander Yakovlevich can be attributed to such people. "You cannot deceive the people" - it is sung in his song dedicated to Joseph Kobzon.
So let's clarify the situation with Rosenbaum's biography from the moment of birth to the beginning of solo activities.
Alexander Yakovlevich Rosenbaum was born on September 13, 1951 in Leningrad, in the family of classmates of the 1st Medical Institute, Yakov Rosenbaum and Sofia Semyonovna Milyaeva. Sasha's parents graduated in 1952, Last year Stalin's reign, was marked by known case Kremlin doctors and the surge of anti-Semitism in the USSR.
The Rosenbaum family was forced to go to live in East Kazakhstan, in a very small city Zyryanovsk - there were not even laid there railways... For six years, Sasha's father and mother were engaged in healing the residents of Zyryanovsk - mostly Kazakhs and a few exiles who got there after the concentration camps. Yakov, a urologist by profession, was the chief physician of the city hospital, Sophia's profession is an obstetrician-gynecologist. During this period, another son was born in the family - Vladimir Rosenbaum.
At the age of five, Sasha Rosenbaum began going to a music school organized by the exiles, and learned to play the violin. He learned to read early, but only his grandmother, Anna Arturovna, immediately saw her unrealized talents in him and said: "Sasha is exceptional."
With the coming to power of Khrushchev and the well-known liberalization, the Rosenbaums returned to Leningrad and settled again in house number 102 on Nevsky Prospekt. 20-meter room in communal apartment No. 25, in which they lived for the next six for the next nine years, and the Leningrad courtyard-well had such a strong influence on Alexander Rosenbaum that 30 years later he would say: "I still live in this world, I really miss it."
The Rosenbaum brothers went to school on Vosstaniya Street - school number 209, the former Pavlovsk Institute for Noble Maidens. "My parents graduated from this school, and I recently - my daughter, so we can call it our home school."
The boys spent a lot of time in the courtyard, in companies held together by their courtyard fraternity, where Sasha was the ringleader. Mom sent him to the figure skating section, but his hobby for boxing affected: at the age of twelve he was admitted to the boxing section "Labor Reserves". "Boxing taught me how to calculate my actions, on the stage too, presenting it as a ring."
Musical education had to continue, learning to play not the violin, but the piano, first under the guidance of the future teacher of the conservatory Larisa Yanovna Ioffe, and then - the talented teacher Maria Alexandrovna Glushenko. Sasha studied reluctantly, clearly preferring stubborn piano lessons to the yard game of football or boxing. However, at some point, Sasha was impressed by the performance jazz ensemble to serve the dances, especially the pianist. "I decided to become a pianist. I was drawn to the piano. I began to select my favorite melodies and accompaniment to them by ear." Graduation Diploma music school Sasha got it only at the insistence of his mother, and then he came in handy at the Lenconcert.
The grandmother's neighbor in the apartment was the famous guitarist Mikhail Alexandrovich Mini, from whom Sasha learned his first guitar techniques, and later he learned to play the guitar on his own. At the age of fifteen or sixteen, his first poems appeared: rhymes were involuntarily born in the mind on school and home topics, sometimes he amused friends with humorous rhymes. He began to listen to and repeat the then forbidden songs of Galich, Vysotsky and Okudzhava. This period in the life of Alexander Rosenbaum directed him towards the author's song.
My further destiny he decides to associate with the profession of his parents - medicine. Having withstood a huge competition, Sasha, right after school, in 1968, entered the First Medical Institute in Leningrad. Responsive, companionable, he willingly participated in student gatherings, singing his poems. For an institute skit, they were almost simultaneously, with ease, written Odessa songs, inspired by the hero of Isaac Babel Beney Krik. "... I couldn't just write at 23 if someone didn't take the hand:". Even in the first year, one of the songs, performed by Alexander at a city-wide show at the Lensovet House of Culture, was included in the recordings for the Kiev festival, where it was awarded the prize "for audience sympathy".
In Sasha's life at the institute there were trips to a construction brigade in distant Ukhta, where he receives the qualification of a fourth-class sawmill, and an unsuccessful "tail" left for the fall, and even skipping a traditional student trip to harvest potatoes, for which he is strictly expelled from the institute ... Astigmatism and myopia do not give Sasha the opportunity to go to serve in the army, and he gets a job as an orderly in the postoperative department, to the most serious patients.
The introduction to practical medicine prompts him to evaluate the possibility of learning and when, after a year, the authorities allow him to return to school, he masters the medical course persistently, with excellent results. He chose therapy as his specialization and showed outstanding medical intuition in its assimilation.
The first marriage of Alexander Rosenbaum lasts only 9 months. A year after the divorce, he marries for the second time, to Elena Savshinskaya, a student of the same medical institute, and after a while a daughter, Anya, is born into the Rosenbaum family.
In 1974, having passed all state exams with excellent marks, Alexander received a diploma as a general practitioner. His specialization is anesthesia, resuscitation. Therefore, I went to work in a non-prestigious ambulance, at the First substation, located on Popova Street, 16-b, not far from my native institute.
Rosenbaum worked for nearly five years as an emergency doctor - at the forefront of the medical battle for human life... Subsequently, he will say: "A doctor for me, if he is not an artisan, although there is nothing wrong with the craft, but if he is a doctor-doctor, then he is first of all a psychologist, that is, when you come to a patient, you must quickly establish with him psychological contact and feel it. " And one more thing: "The fact that I grew up in a dressing gown, one might say, was born in a dressing gown - it brought a person's recognition: when I heard from my parents a lot about their patients, a lot of tragic things, and when I rushed to the sick, like an ambulance doctor, I matured to create on behalf of people.Therefore, I am not afraid of conceit - I think in a mass of people: and not because I am a certain Jesus Christ, but because my humanity is always great amount people who are sick, with difficult fates, which I am not because of my talent, but because of my normal medical profession learned, absorbed, experienced. Without medicine, as a singer-poet, nothing would have come of it. "
At the same time, having already felt the urge to write and perform his songs, Alexander entered the evening jazz school at the Kirov Palace of Culture. Three times a week, in the evenings, he tried to comprehend the basics of arrangement, the skills of jazz compositions, and as a result receives a diploma from the evening jazz school.
Subsequently, Rosenbaum recalled that the decision to change came with unexpected swiftness, within three days. This is only partly true. What he called the dictates of fate had been brewing for several years, when, as a doctor, he performed songs even in pop groups(see section "Rock").
He always, as he confessed, "wanted to be the best in what he did." The doctor was "okay as long as the song was a hobby." And when she essentially became a second profession, I had to choose. "And inevitably" I felt that I was sitting on two chairs, that this was not only inconvenient, but also dishonest. You have to be either a doctor or an artist. "
The beginning of his solo activity can be considered a memorable performance on October 14, 1983 at the House of Culture of the Ministry of Internal Affairs named after Dzerzhinsky. To such a bold step as organizing a singer's concert with Jewish surname Rosenbaum, the director of the house of culture, Raisa Grigorievna Simonova, decided.

Creation

Poet and musician

Alexander Rosenbaum is a composer, author and performer of his own songs. Many of him early songs belong to the genre of thieves' songs, and their hero is the classic image of the Odessa raider of the NEP era. This image was compiled based on “ Odessa stories"Isaac Babel. A number of his early songs are also related to the work of a doctor.

Also, his work is characterized by an interest in the history of Russia in the post-revolutionary years of the XX century ("Romance of General Charnota"), gypsy themes (for example, the songs "Song of the horse of gypsy blood", "Oh, if it were possible ...") and the Cossacks ("Cossack", "Kuban Cossack", "On the Don, on the Don"). Among his songs there is also philosophical lyrics ("Prophetic Destiny"). The military theme, in which most of the songs are associated with the Great Patriotic War("I often wake up in silence", "Show me off, daddy, but to the war ...", etc.), nautical theme("38 knots", "Song of the old destroyer"). A special part of his creative work is devoted to the war in Afghanistan (Monologue of the Black Tulip Pilot, Caravan, Life-Long Road). The singer often visited the locations of Soviet military units, giving concerts in Afghanistan. In 1986, at the Film Studio of the USSR Ministry of Defense, the song "In the mountains of Afghanistan" was inserted into the film "Pain and Hopes of Afghanistan" to the chronicle of hostilities - in fact, the first video for the songs of the performer was created.

With some exceptions, Alexander Rosenbaum writes his songs almost exclusively for the Russian seven-string (he plays in seven string guitar without the fifth string, this tuning is called OPEN G) guitars. Among the exceptions, it is worth noting joint concerts with the Zhemchuzhny brothers). Characteristic Rosenbaum's performances - effective playing of a twelve-string guitar, always using paired metal strings, giving the instrument a bright, timbre rich sound. He uses several types of guitar striking without using a pick. Also, in his songs, he approaches the extraordinary use of harmonies when playing the guitar, which gives them some originality. According to Rosenbaum himself, it is impossible to determine the style of music in which he works, since he is a very versatile musician. Rosenbaum's poems are replete with specific vocabulary (technical, hunting, military, prison, etc.). After the collapse of the USSR, Jewish, Israeli motives appeared in Rosenbaum's work. Rosenbaum has a strong manly voice of a baritone nature.

The song "Waltz-Boston" with a melody and complex harmony replete with altered triads gained all-Union popularity in the late 1980s.

In form, Rosenbaum's work is close to the genre of bard song. However, while the bard song in Soviet years was a hermit, a pariah of the stage, spreading only on tape tapes in self-made recordings, Rosenbaum enjoyed official recognition and performed as an artist of Lenkontsert long before the collapse Soviet Union and the abolition of censorship. In the anthology "Author's Song" (compiled by Dmitry Sukharev), his name is not mentioned.

Biography of Alexander Rosenbaum

Alexander Rosenbaum was born on September 13, 1951 in Leningrad in a family of doctors. His parents, Yakov Shmar'evich Rosenbaum and Sofya Semyonovna Milyaeva, were at that time students of the 1st Medical Institute, from which they graduated in 1952. After the Rosenbaums, they moved to the Kazakh Zyryanovsk. Alexander's father, who received the profession of a urologist, headed the local city hospital, and his mother worked there as an obstetrician-gynecologist. Here Alexander got younger brother Vladimir, who later became an ambulance doctor.

In Zyryansk, young Sasha began to study music: at the age of five he became a student of a music school in piano and violin. Then Alexander went to study at a regular school.

Alexander Rosenbaum: “I grew up as a normal guy. Like most boys, of course, he brought trouble to his loved ones: he didn't eat on time, broke glass, played late with a friend without calling his parents. They went crazy with worries, and on my return I got a kick in the ass. Dad put me over the knee and half-heartedly so that there were no abrasions and bruises left, he flogged me with a front belt. "

Neighbor, famous guitarist Mikhail Minin, taught Alexander to play the guitar. As a child, Sasha was not only fond of music, but also went to the figure skating section, and at the age of 12 he began to actively engage in boxing. After graduating from school, he decided to follow in the footsteps of his parents and entered medical school. By this time, the family had already moved to Leningrad, where Sasha was studying to be a doctor. Immediately after graduation, he got a job as a doctor at a hospital, and then at an ambulance station. It is interesting that Alexander's younger brother, Vladimir, is also a physician by training. He worked for a long time as a doctor at an ambulance station.

Alexander Rosenbaum about working as a physician and studying: “To go to medical school after school was as natural for me as it was for the son of a career officer to go to a military school. My mom and dad are doctors. The continuation of the dynasty in such families is normal. V different years True, I dreamed of being both a geologist and a professional hunter, I wanted to be closer to nature and animals, but when it came time to decide on a profession, I deliberately took the documents to the medical one. And my parents did not question my future either. I was born into a family of first-honey graduate students and literally grew up in a hospital. In the house, all the talk was only about medicine, all the friends of the parents were doctors ... Well, what profession could I still choose? "

Musical career of Alexander Rosenbaum

While working as an ambulance doctor, Alexander managed to study in an evening jazz school, in addition, he began to write songs intensively. A few years later, Rosenbaum left medicine - to the stage. At first he performed in various groups: "Admiralty", "Argonauts", VIA "Six Young", "Pulse", then he began to sing solo and soon rose to the rank of leader theater studio"Creative workshop of Alexander Rosenbaum". Soon the audience began to come to the concerts of the bard, and Rosenbaum turned into popular singer and a performer of copyright songs. At one time he was even called the second Vysotsky, but he was categorically against any comparisons.

Alexander Rosenbaum: “In the regional party committee, and maybe even in the Central Committee, they believed: Rosenbaum should not exist. Not in newspapers, not in concert announcements. That is, it was possible to perform, but it was considered indecent to write the name on the posters. I was not going to become the second Vysotsky either. We are all different! Music, poetry, voices! He is a Muscovite, I am from St. Petersburg. And I don't consider myself a bard. Most of these people come to the song from poetry, with music they are not doing well. I came to the song from music, began to write poetry, and today, I dare to hope, I can be called a poet. Good or bad is another matter. I started as a vocalist, performing other people's works. He sang the entire Beatles' repertoire, a huge number of Soviet songs. But today no serious musician will tell you what genre I belong to. Even I myself do not know this. I have jazz ("Waltz-Boston"), rock-ballads, rock-n-roll, romances, symphonisms performed on the piano ... And there is "Gop-stop" - a song that is called a thug or a street one. So most likely my genre is Rosenbaum. And I want to be called simply an artist. "

At the end of the 80s of the XX century, Alexander, who recorded during this decade such albums as "Home Concert" (1981), "In Memory of Arkady Severny" (1982), "Dedication to Initiates" and "New Songs", "Concert in Vorkuta" (1984), "Epitaph" and "My Courtyards" (1986), "Draw Me a House", "A Life-Long Road", "Concert at LOMO" and "New York Concert" (all - 1987), " Cossack songs"And" Anathema "(1988), wrote one of his most famous songs- "Waltz-Boston", which is characterized by complex harmony and an interesting melody.

Alexander Rosenbaum: “I came to the stage at the age of 30 with a diploma from the medical institute, an ambulance doctor. And in fact - Soviet employees in good sense this word. That is, as I went out on shift from eight in the morning to eight in the evening, so I still go out to work. Only now on stage. I do not know how to walk on corpses, I do not know how to intrigue. For me, wildness - behind-the-scenes scandals about who will close the concert, who will sing how many songs ... I sincerely do not understand the 22-year-old girl who hires a detachment of bodyguards, fearing that fans will probably rip off her outfits. Yes, the mentality of our people is not the same! They don't have it in their genes! They recognize you - well, no - it's okay. But why do you need six men with pistols? Who needs you? .. I don’t know why we need 18 towels in the dressing room and cognac on demand. Have you seen enough foreign films, read about Western stars? .. I don’t want to offend my colleagues who are trying to make our show business civilized, but for me it is still funny and disgusting in many ways ”.

In the nineties, Rosenbaum recorded a number of albums that his fans loved - "Gop-Stop", "Nostalgia", "Top Ten", "Slow Schizophrenia", "Pink Pearl", "On the Plantations of Love", "Return to Argo" , "Trans-Siberian Railway" and others.

Let Boris Nikolayevich Yeltsin not take offense at me, but I did not seek to meet him when he was president. We are with him from different times. I am friends with Boris Vsevolodovich Gromov not as with the governor of the Moscow region, but as with my close friend, brother, fellow soldier, if you like. And I will be friends, no matter what position he occupies. "
