Konstantin Simeonov

People's Artist o ka USSR (1962). He hopena paʻakikī i loaʻa i kēia mea hoʻokani pila. Mai nā lā mua o ke Kaua Patriotic Nui, kū ʻo Simeonov, me nā mea kaua ma kona mau lima, no ka pale ʻana i ka Motherland. Ma hope o ka ʻeha nui, ua lawe pio ʻia ʻo ia e nā Nazis. Pono e hoʻoneʻe ʻia nā hoʻokolohua weliweli i ka paʻahao o ke kahua hoʻomoana No. 318 ma ka Silesian Basin. Akā i Ianuali 1945, ua hoʻokō ʻo ia e pakele ...

ʻAe, ua hoʻokaʻawale ke kaua iā ia mai ke mele no nā makahiki he nui, a ua hoʻoholo ʻo ia e hāʻawi i kona ola ma ke ʻano he kamaliʻi. Ua hānau ʻia ʻo Simeonov ma ka ʻāina ʻo Kalinin (ka mokuʻo Tver mua) a hoʻomaka ʻo ia e aʻo i nā mele ma kona kauhale hānau ʻo Kaznakovo. Mai ka makahiki 1918 mai, ua a'o a himeni 'o ia ma ka Leningrad Academic Choir ma lalo o ke alaka'i a M. Klimov. I ka loaʻa ʻana o ka ʻike, ua lilo ʻo Simeonov i mea kōkua iā M. Klimov ma ke ʻano he alakaʻi mele (1928-1931). Ma hope o kēlā, komo ʻo ia i ka Leningrad Conservatory, kahi āna i puka ai i ka makahiki 1936. ʻO kāna mau kumu ʻo S. Yeltsin, A. Gauk, I. Musin. Ma mua o ke kaua, ua loaʻa iā ia kahi manawa e hana ai no ka manawa pōkole ma Petrozavodsk, a laila alakaʻi i ka orchestra o ka Byelorussian SSR ma Minsk.

A laila - nā ho'āʻo paʻakikī o nā makahiki kaua. Akā, ʻaʻole i haki ka makemake o ka mea hoʻokani. I kēia manawa i ka makahiki 1946, ua lanakila ka alakaʻi o ka Kyiv Opera and Ballet Theatre Simeonov i ka makana mua ma ka All-Union Review of Young Conductors ma Leningrad. ʻOiai ua kākau ʻo A. Gauk: “K. Ua hoʻokipa ʻo Simeonov i ke aloha o ka lehulehu me kāna ʻano haʻahaʻa, malihini i kekahi pose a i ʻole kiʻi kiʻi, i hana hewa pinepine ai nā alakaʻi. ʻO ke aloha a me ka waiwai aloha o ka hana a ka mea hoʻokani mele, ka laulā ākea o nā manaʻo i hoʻopuka ʻia e ia, ka manaʻo ikaika mai nā paʻi mua loa o ka pahu alakaʻi e lawe aku i ka orchestra a me ka poʻe hoʻolohe. ʻO Simeonov ma ke ʻano he alakaʻi a me ka unuhi ʻōlelo i ʻike ʻia e ka manaʻo mele maoli, kahi ʻike i ka manaʻo mele o ka mea haku mele. Hoʻohui hauʻoli kēia me ka hiki ke haʻi i ke ʻano o kahi hana mele, e "heluhelu" iā ia i kahi ala hou. Ua ulu kēia mau hiʻohiʻona i nā makahiki, e lawe ana i nā mea hoʻokō koʻikoʻi. Ua huakaʻi nui ʻo Simeonov i nā kūlanakauhale o ka Soviet Union, e hoʻonui ana i kāna repertoire, kahi i loaʻa i kēia manawa nā hana nui loa o nā mele honua a me nā mele o kēia wā.

I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o nā makahiki 60, ua hoʻololi ʻo Simeonov i ke kikowaena o ka umekaumaha i kāna mau hana mai ke kahua ʻaha mele i ke kahua keaka. Ma ke ʻano he alakaʻi alakaʻi nui o ka Taras Shevchenko Opera a me Ballet Theatre ma Kyiv (1961-1966), ua hana ʻo ia i kekahi mau hana keaka hoihoi. Ma waena o lākou e kū i waho "Kovanshchina" na Mussorgsky a me "Katerina Izmailova" na D. Shostakovich. (Ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia ke mele o ka hope e ka hui mele i alakaʻi ʻia e Simeonov a ma ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni o ka inoa like.)

Ua hoʻokō maikaʻi ʻia nā hana haole a ke alakaʻi ma Italia, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Helene a me nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe. Mai ka makahiki 1967, ʻo Simeonov ke alakaʻi nui o ka Leningrad Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre i kapa ʻia ma hope o SM Kirov.
