Writer Evgeny Dodolev, a close friend of composer Alexander Gradsky, talked about the master’s words regarding the work of the Time Machine group and its leader Andrei Makarevich (recognized in the Russian Federation as a foreign agent). Dodolev’s words are quoted as follows: aif.ru.
“There was a team that played especially collective music. HE [Макаревич] According to Dodolev, the master said about Makarevich that “he pulled the whole blanket over himself and received praise for everything that the team did.”
Gradsky believed that Makarevich’s disagreements with colleagues in the group were precisely due to the confiscation of his colleagues’ works.
“There was Margulis, there was Kutikov, there was Kawagoe, there was Podgorodetsky! The composer stated that no one remembered that Podgorodetsky wrote “The Turn” by talking among ourselves.
At the same time, Dodolev noted that Gradsky appreciated and loved Makarevich – the composer spoke harshly about the musician, as he was accustomed to judging without mercy and asking questions with all seriousness.
“He easily hung the labels and did not spare anyone’s feelings: he behaved like a child. But they forgave him for his barbs, understanding that there was no anger, only irony and sarcasm,” the author emphasized.
Dodolev lately remembered the composer’s words about Pugacheva. According to him, Gradsky was sure that the shooting of Pugacheva’s various concerts was carried out in five or six places, creating the appearance of continuous performances of the artist.
