Sergey Nikolaevich Starostin (Russian: Сергей Николаевич Старостин; born January 1, 1956 in Moscow) is a Russian folk and jazz composer and performer, famous for his modern interpretations of archaic Russian (as well as Lapps and Tuva) folk music. In his compositions, he sings, plays folk flutes (kalyuka overtone flute, svirel, pyzhatka), reed instruments (clarinet, zhaleyka, berben) and gusli.〔(Startostin at Voklov-Trio page )〕〔(Вечера на хуторе близ Крымского Вала - "Ведомости", 16.01.2007, 5 (1779), Михаил Визель (in Russian) )〕 In his early childhood, Starostin started to sing in a boys choir led by Vadim Sudakov. He started to play clarinet in school, and later graduated from Merzlyakov college of music, and then from the Moscow Conservatory.〔(Starostin on dic.adacdmic.ru )〕 After graduation, he abandoned academic music for a while, completely switching to traditional folk instruments, tunes and non-tempered scales. By mid-90s, however, he started to collaborate with jazz musicians Mikhail Alperin and Arkady Shilkloper, forming a Moscow Art Trio group, and mixing together jazz and ethnic (Russian and Balkan) music. In his ethno-jazz compositions Starostin avoids harmonizations, staying within certain scales rather than sticking to chord patterns, which makes jazz played this way more "compatible" with traditional folk music.〔(Aнтон Веселов, "Для меня рояль был самым фальшивым инструментом на свете", Континент Сибирь, 16 августа 2002, № 28 (307) )〕 As of year 2011, however, Starostin is gradually moving from jazz and rock compositions back to more authentic folk traditional performance.〔(Елена Коновалова, интервью с Сергеем Старостиным: «Меня все больше тянет к первоисточнику», «Вечерний Красноярск» № 29 (270) ) (Russian)〕 Works of Sergey Starostin are rooted in various folk traditions of nations inhabiting modern Russia. He participated in folk music research expeditions, and recorded several thousands tracks of authentic songs and instrumental compositions.〔(Profile at Transart project (in Russian) )〕 In 1991 Starostin produced a series of TV programs called "World Village",〔(Page of Sayanskoe Koltso musical festival )〕 and as of 2008 runs a different program named "Wanderings of a musician" at the Russian TV channel "Kultura".〔(Программа "Странствия музыканта" на телеканале Культура ) (Russian)〕 In 2006 he worked as a musical producer for the animated feature film "Prince Vladimir".〔(Official site of the film "Prince Vlarimir" ) (in Russian)〕 Sergey Starostin also collects, and makes himself, traditional musical instruments; reads lectures, and gives master classes on history and theory of Russian traditional musical culture. While many CDs and concert programs feature Starostin playing "Rozhok", it worth mentioning that actually he plays not the folk wooden trumpet, known as (Vladimirsky rozhok), but a "Tverskoy Rozhok", which is a reed instrument,〔(Артем Липатов, "Алфавит", интервью с Сергеем Старостиным ) published at () (Russian)〕 also known as zhaleyka.〔(Sergey Starostin at top4top.ru (Russian) )〕 At different stages of his musical career Starostin also collaborated and recorded together with Mari Boine, Djivan Gasparyan, Angelite - The Bulgarian Voices, Volkovtrio, Leonid Fedorov, Sirin folk ensemble and others. ==Selected Discography== * Fly, Fly My Sadness (1996) - together with Angelite - The Bulgarian Voices, Huun-Huur-Tu and Mikhail Alperin * XIX98 (1998) - with Mikhail Alperin, Arkady Shilkloper and Sergey Volkov * Prayer (1998) - with Mikhail Alperin and Arkady Shilkloper * Much Better (1998) - with Volkovtrio, Arkady Shilkloper, Igor Butman, Kaigal-Ool Khovalyg and others * Once There Was Sun (2000) * Neath The Moon So Bright (2001) - with Sergey Volkov and Svyatoslav Kurashov * DOM concert (2007) * Душеполезные Песни На Каждый День (2008) - with Andrey Kotov, Sergey Volkov and Leonid Fedorov * Хождение по Лукам (2009) - with Vladimir Volkov and Svyatoslav Kurashov 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sergey Nikolaevich Starostin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
