Isaac Dunaevsky. Minchynok D.

Isaac Dunaevsky - a symbol of the Soviet era, the creator of the “Soviet Broadway”, who managed to forge the most and crooked marches from the males of the industrialization era: “My dear country”, “My dear capital”, songs from “Merry Guys”. In reality, the life of a successful composer is far from Soviet stamps and is full of unexpected turns. Behind the screen of mercy, a man was hidden, suffering from love at the same time for two, and sometimes to three women; For the first time, his secret letters are published in the book.

Was the Dunaevsky victim of the era or her hero? How did he compose his harmony? The author, the famous playwright and theater figure Dmitry Mintsk, dissects the life of a genius through the subtle sections of meetings with Shostakovich, Stalin, Chkalov, friendship with Love Orlova, Leonid Utesov, etc. and deduces a certain recipe for success for creative personalities, which is also applied to modernity. The book is based on the author’s long-term friendly conversations with the sons of the composer Evgeny and Maxim Dunaevsky, as well as with his daughter-in-law Rimma Dunaevskaya.
