Алексей Архиповский - барыня
текст песни

"On the sixtieth anniversary of the FENDER guitar firm expressed the desire to speak Balala Tank with a tool that is more than a century. And Alexey Arkhipovsky, encountered several inappropriate applause, made it so that on this evening program would follow. The world-class virtuoso, which owns the balalaica not even perfectly, and outside of understanding, he closed his ten-minute etude to "closed" all the technical tricks shown before it, and in the music was inventive in order. Entry, meditative and stingy and unexpectedly philosophical, opened the Balalyc hall with an absolutely unexpected side. By itself, the sound of the instrument, repeatedly rejected by folk orchestras on the salary, turned out to be comparable in skillful hands with the Arab Lutné, the harp, violin, God knows what else - with some unusual quality and inaccessible to a tool. Not with a guitar, because everyone kept the guitar in their hands and know that it does not sound. And not with a balalaica, because everyone heard "from afar for a long time the Volga River" and know that Balalaika does not sound that either. It is almost impossible to describe his execution: it is only possible to say that ten minutes are laid and "flight of the bumblebee", and all the laid Russian lubok, and blues washed, and flamenco, and distracted weighted reflections in the spirit of modern European jazz.
