Он был универсальным композитором. Руку автора возвышенных романтических песен "Возвращения романса" и "Колыбельной", обыкновенному слушателю трудно признать и в легких шуточных - "Тумбочка" или "Айболит". Потому что они отличаются между собой жанрами и аранжировками. Объединяют их целостность, повествовательность и непременно качество музыки. Оскар Фельцман полагал, что каждый серьезный композитор должен уметь сочинять музыку в разных жанрах. Неудивительно, что этот композиторский дар в юноше из Одессы разглядел Дмитрий Шостакович и рекомендовал ему поступить в консерваторию в Москве.

 

Все, кто был знаком с Оскаром Фельцманом, отмечали его огромную любовь к музыке, которая была делом его жизни с юных лет. Самые известные его сочинения были созданы в течение 1950-х - 1980-х годов, в период сотрудничества с музыкальной редакцией Всесоюзного радио и фирмой грамзаписи "Мелодия". Первой в этой череде шлягеров стала песня "Теплоход", исполненная мэтром советской эстрады Леонидом Утесовым в 1954 году, одним из последних хитов - "Остров детства" в исполнении популярного актера театра и кино Михаила Боярского в 1985 году. Конечно, не только радио, но и пластинки выводили песни на эстрадную орбиту. Телевизионные музыкальные конкурсы, музыкальные телефильмы и концерты, транслируемые по ТВ, прибавляли еще больше известности его новым сочинениям.

 

В советский период творческие люди и коллективы получали не только поддержку, но и испытывали давление со стороны государства в лице худсоветов. И от успеха, и от немилости не был застрахован никто. Его песня "Ландыши" целых 23 года официально находилась под запретом и была изъята фондов радио. 

 

 

Парадокс, но именно в эти нелегкие времена в стране появлялось и множество песен, которые вошли в "золотой фонд" отечественной культуры. Оскар Фельцман создал немало комсомольских, трудовых и политических песен, но заслуженную всенародную любовь приобрели не они, ставшие своеобразными памятниками истории, а другие - трогательные, нежные и поэтичные песни о любви - такие как "Черное море мое", "Ландыши", "Венок Дуная", "Белый свет, "За полчаса до весны", "После дождя" и другие.

  

В 1960 году музыка Оскара Фельцмана перешагнула границы СССР. Японская группа "Dark Ducks" привезла на свои концерты в СССР в числе прочих его песню "Ландыши" на японском языке. Это было полной неожиданностью для автора, посетившего их Московский концерт. Гастроли советских исполнителей за рубежом тоже вносили свой вклад: его мелодии полюбились и их запели на польском, чешском, финском, испанском языках.

 

 

Сам Оскар Фельцман признавал, что сочинение музыки на слова давало всегда наилучший результат. И когда ему попадалась подходящая поэзия (далеко не все поэты годились на роль его соавторов), мелодия рождалась за мгновения. Свои лучшие песни он сочинил вместе с Р.Рождественским, М.Таничем, И.Шафераном, В.Войновичем, Н.Олевым и М.Рябининым. По праву первой в этом списке - автор "Ландышей" - поэтесса Ольга Клейнер, писавшая под псевдонимом Фадеева. Она первой предложила Оскару Борисовичу сотрудничество.

 

За редким исключением Оскар Фельцман переделывал тексты. Известна история песни "Старые слова" на стихи Р.Рождественского к телефильму "Это сильнее меня", которая не сразу удалась. Оскар Фельцман сказал поэту переписать первоначальный вариант текста, для того чтобы он лег на уже сочиненную мелодию. Новый вариант по сути оказался и другим произведением, идеально подошедшим к мелодии. 

 

Создание ответственных записей происходило при непосредственном художественном руководстве композитора. Оскар Фельцман самостоятельно делал инструментовки и выступал в качестве дирижера сборных инструментальных ансамблей. Чаще всего новые записи рождались в содружестве с лучшими музыкантами-аранжировщиками такими как В.Людвиковский, Ю.Силантьев, А.Броневицкий, Г.Гаранян. Постоянной являлась персональная работа композитора с исполнителями, среди которых был цвет советской эстрады: М.Магомаев, И.Кобзон, Ю.Гуляев, Г.Отс, Л.Лещенко, Э.Хиль, С.Захаров, В.Толкунова, Э.Пьеха, М.Кристалинская, А.Герман, А.Ведищева и другие.

 

 

Фонограммы записывались в Доме звукозаписи на улице Качалова (ныне Малая Никитская улица) для Всесоюзного радио, и в студии фирмы грамзаписи "Мелодия" на улице Станкевича (ныне - Вознесенский переулок), где работали первоклассные звукорежиссеры В.Бабушкин, Р.Рагимов и другие.

 

 В последние годы Оскар Фельцман также много работал. И последнее десятилетие подарило немало песенных шедевров, о которых пока неизвестно широкой публике.

 

Свою юбилейную коллекцию лучших произведений и записей за полувековую творческую карьеру Оскар Борисович назвал "Не только Ландыши..." Вашему вниманию представлена демо-версия этой коллекции. Все названия переведены на английский язык для знакомства с ними зарубежных поклонников.
