Petersburg, the asteroid named it in honor of Maya Plisetskaya. Rostropovich about R. Shchedrin: “His ingenious feeling of an orchestral sound affected not only in the very popular first concert for the orchestra“ Nacerrower ”and“ Carmen-Suyite ”. The king of the modern orchestra is called by professionals, referring to the maximum sound expressiveness at the maximum concentration and saving of funds.

His works are played by the best performers of the world, such as L. Maazel, S. Ozava, M. Jansons, O. Mustonen, M. I especially appreciate his rejection of compromises even in a very difficult time for Russian music.He was always an innovator in music and was not afraid to publicly demonstrate his full support for any deviations from the "official Soviet musical course".

" Voznesensky about R. Shchedrin: “Once Gia Kancheli, a composer in a velvet dark blue jacket and with the same velvet eyes, after the premiere he came from Germany, told me about Rodion Shchedrin:“ This is a big composer, maybe the largest in the world now. ” Accustomed to the jealous babble of my colleagues, I was amazed. Shchedrin - a large "С" of Russian music.

There is no such letter in any alphabet - neither in English nor in German. His merciless new music is powerful, nimble, narrowed with pain or laughter. Shchedrin jumped physically with us in the 21st century.

What a talent should you have to create a treasure out of our shit and horror! Still, Shchedrin, more! We met in a year visiting their common acquaintance Lily Brik. He was 22 years old, she - they immediately liked each other, but by the will of fate they began to meet only three years later. In the year, the Bolshoi Theater ordered the music from Rodion Shchedrin for the ballet “Horse-Bank”, and in order to penetrate the atmosphere, the young composer decided to resemble ballet rehearsals.

There, for the second time, he saw Maya at work and fell in love. The ballerina reciprocated. The age difference did not become an obstacle to them. Shchedrin, for the sake of his wife’s career, abandoned the dream of becoming a father. Plisetskaya did not want to leave his career even for a year, and was also afraid to lose shape and not return to the stage after the decree.

Rodion did not insist. Maya was his muse. He devoted many of his works to his wife and even wrote the book “Autobiographical Records”. Rodion Shchedrin and Maya Plisetskaya their love separated only death. After the death of Maya Plisetskaya on May 2, a will was announced, according to which her ashes would be connected together with the ashes of Rodion Shchedrin after his death and scattered over Russia.

It is difficult to be a documentary prince - the composer of the work of Rodion Shchedrin in the cinema as a composer: - a cockerel - an animated goldencep - they knew the Mayakovsky film -performance - an animated bun.
