Discography and biography of Rosenbaum Alexander

Biography of Rosenbaum Alexander is full of interesting events and sharp turns. Today this singer is known far beyond the CIS countries. However, very few people know that if his fate was different, instead of a musician, the world could get an excellent athlete or a talented doctor.

The far house

The genius artist's family is very closely connected with the doctor's case. His mother and father - Sophia and Jacob - native Leningrad, studied together at a medical institute. Not yet received diplomas, they got married. And on September 13, 1951, a first-born was born in a small new family. The boy was named Sasha. In 1952, young parents successfully passed the exams, and a year later, under the Soviet program, went to work in the east of Kazakhstan. Alexander Rozenbaum spent his early childhood there. His biography is closely connected with the town of Zyryanovsk, which became his new home. In this settlement people lived, whom the authorities had previously sent into exile. His mother worked as an obstetrician-gynecologist, his father was a urologist, but in parallel served as chief physician.

In a small town, the residents managed to open a music school, where Sasha started to learn the fine art. Parents believed that such education is necessary for the son. The singer himself says that he has been on the scene since 5 years.

In 1956 the second son was born in the family, who was named Vladimir.

Having worked for 6 years in Kazakhstan, parents with children returned to Leningrad. Since my mother and father were always busy, the boy was brought up by my grandmother. She worked as a proofreader, so the kid learned to read and write very early. From a small age, he helped a woman check articles, and therefore in adulthood almost did not make grammatical errors.

Childhood in the yard

It was the grandmother who greatly influenced his fate, as Alexander Rosenbaum says. The biography and the creative path of the now famous singer would have developed differently without this woman. She was the first to notice that the child has a gift for music. Therefore, from the age of five, the child attended violin courses, and later pianoforte. However, such studies were of little interest to him.

The boy liked life in the yard much more. The young family settled on Nevsky Prospekt. At all they shared a small room in a communal apartment.

Especially turbulent events took place on the street. Sasha was an ordinary robber: at the age of 13 he started smoking cheap cigarettes, and after a while he drank port wine with his friends. Often participated in fights. Although in general, as the man recalls, he was a fairly calm and obedient child.

Parents, noticing the temperamental nature of his son, decided to curb him, giving him to the sports section for figure skating. However, at the age of 12 Sasha switched to boxing. There his coach was Grigory Kusikyants, from under the guidance of which talented sportsmen came out. Rosenbaum's biography might not be related to music. After all, the young man made significant progress in boxing, and he liked these lessons.

The lessons were not in vain, the guy became a candidate for master of sports. He could have a good future as a fighter. But the creative side of the soul won. It should be noted that both parents were against such a career for their son. Today the man says that boxing has helped him confidently stay on stage, because she is very similar to the ring.

Fateful steps

At the age of 13, a teenager heard the play of a jazz pianist. Music so fascinated the guy that he immediately wanted to repeat the amazing notes. Subsequently, he met with Mikhail Minin. The famous guitarist was his grandmother's neighbor. When a man learned that a guy was interested in music, he taught him to play the instrument. So the biography of Rosenbaum crossed again with notes for the umpteenth time. The actor showed him the basics, further Sasha independently and persistently learned to play the guitar.

At the age of 16, Alexander began to write poetry. First, out of his pen came out uncouth lines, and then columns that rhymed well and had a profound meaning. The themes for the works of the young poet were his native city, sympathy, patriotic motives. These were the first steps to their own songs.

When after school the question arose of where to go to study, the young man did not think for a long time. Like his relatives, he entered the medical institute. A very big influence was the choice of profession for his life, as Alexander Rosenbaum himself said. Personal life began to emerge at the desk, then he began to develop as a musician.

At student parties, he often entertained the audience with his playing the guitar. Also performed beautiful songs. One of his works was secretly sent to Kiev for a contest of author's compositions. Then the guy received a prize of audience sympathy. This event happened in the first year.

Two love

Student life contributed to the development of musical talent. Many young people created groups at the university. In one of the collectives, namely "Argonauts", Sasha also appeared. Then he first announced himself as a songwriter, vocalist and guitarist. His works were very popular among young people.

Rosenbaum Alexander Yakovlevich studied very well at the institute. However, due to a misunderstanding, the guy was expelled. As it turned out, Sasha once did not go to pick potatoes. The administration did not like this, and the youth was expelled from the university without regrets.

In the army he was not taken because of problems with vision. During the next year, free from school, he works as a paramedic, cares for the sick. Alexander sees human pain, so without hesitation decides to return to medical practice.

In 1974, the guy successfully passes all the exams and receives a specialty therapist. Even today, many years after receiving the diploma, the artist annually gives concerts in his native alma mater.

Then the year passes service on the ship. Upon his return, he takes an ambulance.

Even during his student years, Rosenbaum married. Biography, personal life and even the name of his first companion are unknown. With his wife Sasha lived for 9 months, after which the couple broke up.

However, the period of mourning was short. A year later, in 1975, the man married again. This time the one-year student Elena Savshinskaya became the chosen one, who is still close to the musician.

The poet who heals the souls

For a long time, Alexander worked in the ambulance. Every day he had to face life and death. Of course, 5 long years of work as a doctor were not wasted. Heavy work influenced the soul of the poet. Pity, deep songs flew from under the strings. In parallel with the work, Sasha graduates from the evening jazz school.

October 20, 1976 in a small family of doctors a daughter is born, who was called Anna.

At this time, the biography of Rosenbaum abruptly changes. Music has ceased to be for him only a hobby, has become one of the main things in life. Then Sasha faced a difficult choice: a scene or medicine. He leaned toward the first.

The musician wrote about everything that inspired him. Many believe that the first songs of the singer were thieves' songs. However, in fact, he began his creative work with romantic works. The melodies were gentle and simple. Alexander thought a lot about love, fatherland and hometown. Heartfelt feelings resulted in such motives as "Smoke of Love", "Warm Summer Wind", "Sill".

Rosenbaum was troubled and the trouble of war. His father fought in the Great Patriotic War. Leningrad still remembered the difficult times of the blockade. All this inspired his poetic soul. So there were compositions "Red Wall", "On the Road of Life", "Maybe there was no war?".

Protest in music

At first the future star of the Russian stage performed in secret. However, constant checks, raids and persecution exhausted him, and he decided to work on a legal level. Finally, the talented doctor Rosenbaum Alexander Yakovlevich threw medicine in 1980. He settled in Lenkontsert and began touring with the band "Pulse". However, an unknown, though an excellent musician, was initially uninteresting to the public. For several years he acted without billboards and for a minimum wage. But the audience fell in love with the artist for his sincerity and penetration.

Often the musician had problems with Soviet power. Not all of his songs expressed the patriotism that the top leadership needed. For example, compositions from the Cossack Cycle, Babi Yar and Waltz of the Year 37 were heavily criticized by the party. The musician was even advised to finish the concert activity for his own safety. But Alexander was not going to give up and kept telling the truth to the public in the form of a song.

Despite the persecution and threats, the singer Rosenbaum became more and more popular. The biography of the artist changes after 1983. Then he begins to perform as a soloist in different groups. Date October 14 is considered the beginning of his solo career.

Particularly astute were his songs about Afghanistan. Rosenbaum has repeatedly been in this country with concerts and even participated in hostilities. It should be noted that Alexander was not allowed to go to war for a very long time. However, Joseph Kobzon helped him there. Three times a singer came to the battlefield. The most popular composition from this cycle was "Black Tulip".

Artist on the zone

Rosenbaum is considered a unique performer of thieves' songs. Such works were inspired by Isaac Babel's "Odessa Stories". For a long time this singer was considered a supporter of bandits and prisoners. And indeed, Alexander does not hide that he has connections with not very law-abiding people. However, the artist explains that each person is interesting to him, regardless of the past. All are worthy of respect - I am sure Alexander Rosenbaum. Life is often unfair, so all people equally well belongs to the star.

The singer also repeatedly shared the fact that among his good acquaintances there are thieves in the law. Very often the artist gives concerts in prisons. His managers say that there is not a single correctional facility where the musician has not visited. Alexander himself is confident that the song can affect the soul.

He is especially good at juvenile offenders. Even financially and morally helps one of the children's colonies. Rosenbaum says that there are young men who simply stumbled in life. He hopes that his kind word, which he carries through the song, can help them deal with the past and arrange a bright future.

Unforeseen stop

Not one stage of the history survived Rosenbaum Alexander Yakovlevich. The biography of this person is associated with many difficult periods. The poet did not stay away from the events of the 1990s. At this time, the song "Something's not right" comes out, which expresses his attitude to the situation on his native land. No less popular were the works of "Thieves in the Law", "Posthumous Note" and "Arrow".

In the late 80's, the concert activity of the artist was partially stopped. The first reason - the economic crisis, the second - the frequent booze of a man. Alexander felt unnecessary and mediocre. His grief he stoked in a glass. Because of bad habits, even those performances that have already been scheduled are canceled. This continued until 1992.

Everything changed after the fatal concert in Australia. Having gone over unnecessary, the musician lost consciousness. Then his heart stopped for a moment. The life of the singer was saved by a man who worked in a hotel where the group stopped. He provided first aid and called a doctor. Then almost died Alexander Rosenbaum. Biography, personal life, creativity - everything flew before my eyes.

After this event, the actor decided to quit with liquor. In the interview he repeatedly stated that it is very hard for a Russian person to stop on three piles of vodka. And then it's almost impossible to completely stop drinking. However, with the help of professional doctors and psychologists, a man once and for all refused alcohol.

Public figure

In 1993, the disk "Gop-stop" was released, which the audience liked very much. Then were released "Nostalgia" and "Hot Ten".

The singer can not call himself a star. He also believes that not every artist is worth such a title. For a very long time his work was not recognized. But already in 1996 the audience celebrated the songs with the Golden Gramophone Prize. Subsequently, for his beautiful compositions, he was awarded the "Chanson of the Year" awards.

In July 2001, the singer was given the title of People's Artist. The award was presented by the president himself, who positively assessed the work of Alexander.

In 2003, he became a member of the party "United Russia" and was elected deputy to the Duma Rosenbaum. Biography (the family, by the way, supported him in all endeavors) has now acquired new colors. Alexander Yakovlevich was able to help people at the state level. He was more concerned with cultural matters and affairs. However, in 2005 the artist left the new position.

He is also engaged in other social work as a musician. The singer restores architectural monuments and helps young talents to organize concerts.

Light charisma

Alexander publishes his own books, where his best poems and songs are collected. Now he continues to speak with the group "The Old Army". It should be said that his team never acts as a phonogram.

Until now, many compositions are written by Alexander Rosenbaum. Discography has officially numbered 32 collections. I tried my hand at the cinema and the artist. Usually he plays in episodic roles of himself.

During one of the interviews, he was asked about whether he remembers how it is to work as a doctor. The artist replied that it is impossible to forget the basics of such work. After that, he had to confirm his words. The car in which the star was traveling suddenly stopped. It turned out that an accident occurred nearby, in which the pedestrian suffered. Rosenbaum, having learned that the doctors had not yet arrived, went to the rescue. He examined the victim, brought her to life and made dressings, and then waited for her with him.

His daughter Anna successfully married an Israeli citizen. In their family, children were born. Now Alexander has four grandsons. Together with the son-in-law, the artist conducts business. They are engaged in a network of beer "Thick Fryer".

A musician does not give interviews often, and generally, he considers himself to be a simple, modest person. Continues to tour Alexander Rosenbaum. Photos of the artist can well convey his charisma and light energy!
