Biography of the composer Igor Kornelyuk

St. Petersburg 2nd Krasnoarmeyskaya St. His soundtrack for the series "Gangster Petersburg" became the unofficial anthem of the city on the Neva. And the music for the film “The Master and Margarita” turned out to be so impressive and grandiose that director Vladimir Borto, bowing to the composer’s talent, gave him his “Tuffy” award. In the photo: Igor Korneluk, childhood and youth years, Igor was born and raised in Brest, in a small private house on the outskirts of the city, located a couple of kilometers from the border with Poland.

Father, Evgeny Kasyanovich Korneluk, worked all his life with a maneuver dispatcher at the Brest-West station, spoke freely in Polish. Mom, Nina Afanasyevna, worked as an engineer at a sewing factory, was a member of the Society of Inventors and Rationalizers. Igor has an older sister Natasha, who also became a musician and is now led by several ensembles in Brest.

Igor grew up with an ordinary rival boy and from peers only differed in that he really loved to sing. Somehow, a neighbor, a teacher of the Muzuchilischi, asked a five-year-old boy to sing at his wedding, to which he willingly agreed. After the performance of Igor’s father, professional musicians approached and advised them to send his son to a music school. Evgeny Kasyanovich listened to their advice, since he himself was a creative person and in his youth even tried to enter the Minsk Theater Institute.

Igor Kornelyuk in his youth wrote his first song Korneluk at nine years old - the girl from his class composed poems that had to be put to music. Igor himself volunteered to try his hand, and the unpretentious song became a laureate of one of the children's competitions. And Igor began to write more serious things in adolescence, when he first experienced the torment of unrequited love and felt the need to express his feelings with the help of music.

Igor Kornelyuk in his youth at that time he already played in the ensemble of the music school, and many of his creations entered the group’s repertoire. Friends called Igor the “composer” and treated with great respect, despite the fact that Korneluk was the youngest participant in the team. On weekends, the guys played dancing in the city House of Culture and earned 30 rubles a month, which for that time was quite a decent amount.

Education after the eighth grade Igor entered the Brest Musical School, at the course of the Belarusian composer Mark Rusin.

A year later, on his own council, he went to the city on the Neva to try his luck at the N. Leningrad Conservatory of the Leningrad Conservatory, it was not possible to transfer, since the curricula were completely different. I had to submit documents on a common basis and start to re -prepare a week before the entrance exams. And the competition was rather big, 37 people in place, therefore, soberly evaluating the chances, Igor did not have any illusions.

What was his surprise when, after listening, Vladlen Pavlovich Chistyakov, one of the members of the selection committee, approached him, and said: “Young man! I am very pleased that I have the honor to become your teacher! From childhood, Igor Kornelyuk was obsessed with music these words inspired the young man, and he was engaged in as obsessed, twenty hours a day. He was not embarrassed by the lack of money and the Spartan conditions of living in a student dormitory - the main thing was the desire to create, and also prove to a father who dreamed that his son became an engineer that in a creative profession can be achieved considerable heights.

In the year, Korneluk graduated from the music school with honors and entered the composer department of the Leningrad Conservatory. In the first year he married, six months later the son Anton was born, it was incredibly difficult to combine family life with study. The wedding of Igor Kornelyuk Igor developed at weddings, collaborated with the experiment theater, made arrangements for orchestras.

C was the musical director of the Buff Theater, wrote music for performances. Among the most noticeable works of that time-“Passion for Moliere” and “Cross-Tails” the Akimov Comedy Theater, “Trumpet on Square” Academic Drama Theater named after Pushkin, Children's Opera Pyani Lelkay, or Aibolit from the Plyrynaya Street, Leningrad Musik-Hall. The career on the stage to create pop -ups by Korneluka prompted a dispute with the musician and composer Alexander Morozov: he doubted his ability to work in a slight genre.

Igor is a very gambling man, so he gave out several hits at once, who immediately went to the people. The song “Dear, I was very sad” was performed by the artists of the Buff Theater, and the composition “A boy with a girl was friends” Albert Asadullin sang on verses by Sergey Mikhalkov. This hat entered the top ten hits of the year and brought Korneluka the first popularity.

The young composer Igor Kornelyuk inspired by success, the composer almost completely switched to pop songs that the famous performers willingly dismantled: Alla Pugacheva, Philip Kirkorov, Kabare-Duet "Academy", Anna Veski, Edita Pieha, Mikhail Boyarsky and other stars of the Soviet pop.But for some reason, Korneluk himself was not perceived as a solo artist, although he persistently broke up the thresholds of GOSTERARIO and Ostankino and everywhere left his notes.

As the performer of Kornelyuk, Igor was initially not perceived in the year, nevertheless came to television-Viktor Reznikov invited him to become an opponent in the Musical Ring program. For Korneluk, this was a unique opportunity to declare himself, and he won this duel, which radically changed his life. His “ticket for ballet”, “you never know” and “house” blew up the hall, lifting all those present to the feet.

Igor Kornelyuk “you never know” - the audience tried to sing along the music ring even to new songs, and when familiar motives sounded, even drowned out the performer himself. When the result was announced, the audience came into a standing ovation. It was a stunning success that a celebrity made Corneluka in one day. Since then, no serious assembly concert or festival has been complete without Igor Korneluk, the prima donna itself called him to her theater, and the artist’s tour schedule was painted a year in advance.

Igor Kornelyuk behind the piano but each medal has the reverse side, and the long -awaited popularity unexpectedly brought certain difficulties in the professional activity of the musician. The cliche of the pop artist almost put a cross on his composer career - Korneluk was stopped perceiving as a creator of serious large forms, which was incredibly upset.

Therefore, Igor is immensely grateful to the director Vladimir Borto, who suggested writing music for the film “Gangster Petersburg”, which became his hallmark. Their cooperation did not end there - the music of Korneluk adorned the film adaptation of the “Master and Margarita”, “Idiot” and “Taras Bulba”. Igor Kornelyuk on the stage of the e years became the pinnacle of the creative career of Korneluk - with solo concerts he performed at the best venues in the country, gathered Olympic, Luzhniki, October and other thousands of many thousands.

In the year, he defeated the Musical Ring for the second time, meeting in an honest duel with composer Viktor Chaika. Igor Kornelyuk is a city that no Korneluk appeared in other television programs and even tried himself as an actor by playing in the feature film “Kud-Cud-Ceh, or provincial stories with intermediaries and sabotage in the final”. Igor Korneluk in his sound recording studio, the musician put the money earned in his own studio, which he equipped with the latest technology.

It is located in the basement of the country house of Korneluk, about which he dreamed about, huddling with his wife, a little son and a mother -in -law in a tiny "Khrushchev" odnushka. Now, in order to plunge into the working environment, Igor needs to just go down the floor below. And about everything else, Marina is baking, who is not only the guardian of the hearth, who loves his wife and mother, but also the concert director of his talented spouse.

The personal life of Igor Kornelyuk with his future wife Korneluk met at the Leningrad Music School. They met at a joint reporting concert and immediately liked each other. Igor went to see the girl home and that evening he met her mother. Young people began to meet, and when Marina became pregnant, they got married. Korneluk's parents were against early marriage, but Igor insisted, taking on all the expenses: his entire fee went to the wedding for the music for the play “Trubach in the square”.

Igor Korneluk and his wife when the son of Anton was born, his young parents were just twenty. They lived in Marina Khrushchev, for four years huddled in the same room with her mother. Then we moved to a rented apartment, and in the year they bought a land plot with an unfinished brick box in a suburbs of Leningrad. Igor Kornelyuk and his son Anton are now this house - the place of power of Korneluk, he is located in the village of Tarkhovka between the Gulf of Finland and the lake of the spill, where Vladimir Ilyich Lenin was hiding in his legendary hut.

This is a very secluded and picturesque place, where the composer draws inspiration and rests from the bustle of a large city. Marina completely controlled construction and finishes, she also developed the design of the premises and was engaged in a personal plot. This fragile woman, a musician by education, turned out to be a talented organizer and for more than twenty years is the concert director of her spouse.

He has not yet created his family and had not acquired children, which, of course, cannot but upset Korneluka and his second half. Igor Kornelyuk is now the composer is still one of the best in the profession-he is touring a lot, writes music for performances and films, composed the Opera Polirol in the year. Igor Kornelyuk now periodically appears on the television screen - in the year, as a member of the jury, he participated in the show “One to one”, came to visit Ivan Urgant, and became the hero of the author’s program of Boris Korchevnikov “The Fate of Man”.In recent years, an interview with Igor Kornelyuk in recent years has serious health problems - diabetes mellitus, coronary heart disease and angina pectoris that developed after the coronavirus.

Corneluk completely reviewed his diet, completely abandoned alcohol, dropped weight. Of course, this is the main merit of his wife Marina, whom Igor Evgenievich considers his guardian angel and the main award in life. Interesting facts Korneluk loves beautiful and high -quality things - his country house is furnished with expensive furniture, among which there is a lot of antique. The walls decorate the paintings of famous masters, the collection of watches is impressive.

The Korneluka studio is equipped with the latest technology and has no analogues in the post -Soviet space in terms of equipment. Korneluk loves a quick ride - his first car was a used BMW, which was an unprecedented luxury in the year. Once he, a believer, acquired in a commission store for the last money the old icon of the Monk Anna Kashinskaya, stolen from the monastery. He found this monastery and returned the relic to the original place.

The artist had a small copy that he began to wear in his barce. Once, a handbag was pulled out of the car, and after a few hours they threw back, in complete integrity and safety. By the way, the money spent by the icon also returned, and quite soon and in double size. Corneluk loves to read very much - a whole room is allocated in his house under the library. Once a flood happened in it, and it was one of the rare cases when the composer was so upset that he could not resist tears.
