Balalaika virtuoso, Honored Artist of Russia Viktor Shurygin began working at the Omsk Philharmonic in 1986. By this time, he already had solid experience in concert and solo activities.
Victor Shurygin was born on Far East. WITH teenage years a desire for music, especially for its folk origins, awoke in him. At the age of 11, he began studying in a circle - an orchestra of Russian folk instruments, playing the balalaika, then graduated from a music school in the domra class. Following his father's wishes, Victor also mastered the button accordion. While studying at the Khabarovsk Music College, in his 3rd year, he went to Japan, where he was applauded by the audience.
After graduating from music school, the young, promising balalaika player Viktor Shurygin entered the Novosibirsk Conservatory. M.I. Glinka. Already in his fifth year of study he was accepted into one of the most famous teams Soviet Union– State Academic Orchestra of Russian Folk Instruments of Novosibirsk Radio and Television under the direction of I.M. Gulyaeva. Ten years of work in the orchestra and annual tours around the country gave the musician enormous experience. However, according to him, he always had the desire to “play solo.”
Thanks to his Omsk wife, Viktor Shurygin moved from Novosibirsk to Omsk. Here he taught at a music school, and three years later he was invited to the Omsk Philharmonic.
Viktor Pavlovich began his activities in the Philharmonic with collaboration with accordion player Sergei Chupakhin. This creative union lasted ten years. The musicians actively toured Omsk region and in other regions of Russia. Viktor Shurygin’s performing baggage includes not only a duet with accordion, but also with piano, and over the past six years his duet with guitarist Konstantin Belyakov has grown stronger and become well known to listeners. The basis of their joint performances are folk works, which Viktor Pavlovich himself distinguishes from all others for their special melody, “expressing everything - beauty, sadness, joy.” In his opinion, “the balalaika was created for this.” At the same time, the repertoire of the Shurygin-Belyakov collective is huge, it contains everything from arrangements of folk melodies to high classics, which perfectly proves the ability of a simple-looking instrument - the balalaika - to express the whole gamut of feelings and be organic even in the academic repertoire.
Viktor Pavlovich himself is skeptical about high degree technical skills when playing his favorite instrument. High level performance techniques for the sake of illustrating this technique, in his opinion, deprives any performance of meaning. He believes that “the listener should be captivated by music, not dancing.” The art of playing for him is “to perform music with the soul, the heart,” because only in this case does a special resonance and mutual understanding arise with the listener.
The artist and his balalaika, a unique instrument of the 19th century made by the violin maker of His Imperial Majesty Fyodor Poserbsky, were applauded not only in Omsk and other cities of Russia, but also in Hungary, Switzerland, Egypt, Japan, and China. Virtuoso Viktor Shurygin is applauded, first of all, for the sincerity of his performances. He does not consider it necessary to flirt with an audience that cannot be deceived, but at the same time, every time the listener is ready to tune in to his lyrical, folk tune, regardless of what program he performs. Viktor Pavlovich’s favorite phrase is “do what you must; let it be what will be” well illustrates this internal message.
Viktor Shurygin's programs are numerous and varied. Their names speak for themselves: “The Sounding History of Russia”, “In a New Style” (together with Philharmonic soloist Anna Shinkova), “Talk to me too, seven-string guitar”, “Warmed with a tender passion” (Neapolitan songs), “Prowess” brave, girlish sadness" (folk songs), "Ring, ring, golden Rus'" and others. The performer plans to add several more interesting compositions to his repertoire; he has a desire to create a beautiful, lyrical program about Russia, as well as a classical program in a duet with piano.
