Горан Брегович! Всемирная популярность пришла к Горану Бреговичу в 1989 году. Именно в этот год Эмир Кустурица обратился к нему с предложением о создании музыкального сопровождения к фильму «Время Цыган», получившего приз за лучшую режиссуру на Кинофестивале в Каннах. Начиная с этого момента, Брегович снискал славу одного из самых успешных европейских композиторов. Он написал музыку к французскому блокбастеру «Королева Марго» с Изабель Аджани, фильму Раду Микаэляну «Поезд Жизни», кроме того, продолжил сотрудничество с Кустурицей, сочинив музыку к таким фильмам, как «Подполье» (Золотая Пальмовая Ветвь в Каннах 1995 года). Эта музыка произвела настоящую сенсацию на европейской сцене и упрочила позиции Бреговича как композитора. В 2000-2001 Горан Брегович гастролирует по всей Европе, включая Париж, Брюссель, Антверпен, Барселону, Варшаву, Стамбул и практически все столицы Западной и Восточной Европы. Именно благодаря Бреговичу и его огромной популярности балканская и цыганская музыка заняли свое место в европейской современной музыке. За последние несколько лет фестивали цыганской музыки проводятся по всей Европе. В мае 2000 года в престижнейшем лондонском концертном зале «Барбикан» в течение месяца проходил фестиваль цыганской музыки. Брегович выступил на нем со своим оркестром, вызвав восторженную реакцию зрителей и критиков. В апреле 2001 Горан Брегович впервые выступил в России, в Москве. Его огромная популярность среди русской публики с начала 90-х годов явилась результатом его музыки к фильмам Кустурицы, а также его совместной работы с такими звездами, как Игги Поп, Георг Даларас и Кайя.

Goran Bregovic was a rock superstar before he gave it all up to write soundtracks and make folk music. Just 12 months after his Moscow debut, Yugoslav composer and musician Goran Bregovic returns to town with his explosive blend of several brands of Balkan folk music, with the added attraction of guest participants that include a Polish string orchestra and a local men's choir. A sensation in Russia for several years now, the 52-year-old Bregovic owes his international fame and local popularity to the soundtracks he recorded for a trio of Emir Kusturica's most popular films: "Time of the Gypsies" (1989), "Arizona Dream" (1993) and "Underground" (1995). A Sarajevo native with a Croatian father and a Serbian mother, Bregovic has been heavily influenced by the many forms of Balkan folk music, although he claims that his own compositions constitute 80 percent of the music his band performs. Before he found international celebrity as a composer of Kusturica soundtracks, Bregovic (whose nickname is Brega) was a full-fledged rock star in his native land, fronting one of the most popular bands in Yugoslavia, Bijelo Dugme, or White Button, which he formed at the age of 16. Bregovic has said that singing in the rock band was the only way to express his opposition to the government without risking jail time in then-communist Yugoslavia. Since Yugoslavia was among the most liberal of the communist countries, Bijelo Dugme was allowed to tour a great deal and to release 14 LPs in its lifetime, despite the band's sometimes provocative lyrics and stage show -- Bregovic was known to perform wearing the uniform of a Nazi soldier, or dressed as Yugoslav leader Josip Broz Tito. Despite this relative leniency, however, Bijelo Dugme was never allowed to tour the nearby Soviet Union, despite the band's repeated requests to do so. Bijelo Dugme split in 1985. A few years later, Bregovic became a soundtrack composer when his friend Kusturica suggested he compose the music for "Time of the Gypsies," which was a huge success at the Cannes Film Festival that year. Finally, in 1995, after spending three stressful years working on the soundtrack to "Underground," Bregovic, who hadn't performed live since Bijelo Dugme broke up a decade earlier, formed a new group: Goran Bregovic and His Wedding and Funeral Band. Although Kusturica's own band, Emir Kusturica's No Smoking Orchestra, performed twice in Russia last year to sold-out venues, Bregovic never hesitates to snipe at his former partner's talents on the musical stage. Bregovic was even quoted in the Italian online magazine Onda Rock as calling Kusturica an "amateur" musician. In Moscow, Bregovic will perform alongside Poland's 13-member Poznan String Orchestra, the Sophia female singing quartet Bulgarian Voices and Moscow's own male chamber choir Peresvet. The set will include 20 numbers, featuring "In the Death Car," a hit song Bregovic composed for Iggy Pop that appeared on the "Arizona Dream" soundtrack; and the uplifting ode to the Russian assault rife, "Kalasnjikov," which is wildly popular in Russia. Goran Bregovic and His Wedding and Funeral Band perform at 7 p.m. on Saturday at the Mossoviet Theater, located at 16 Bolshaya Sadovaya Ulitsa. Metro Mayakovskaya. Tel. 299-2035.
