Famous for his beautiful voice, Muslim Magomayev made a great
contribution to Azerbaijani music. His creative activities occupy a
special place in the country's music history.
The idol of millions became famous around the USSR at the age of
19 after a stellar performance at the Kremlin Palace in Moscow. He
became famous in Europe after a successful performance at the Youth
Festival in Helsinki, Finland.
A very important stage in mastering his vocal skills even
further was his training in the La Scala Opera Theatre in Milan.
Muslim's stay in Italy – a country of innumerable art treasures and
the home of bel canto (beautiful singing) – in the 1960s was not
only beneficial for his singing but also affected his inner
world.
In his 30s, Magomayev was one of the youngest recipients of the
highest artistic title, People's Artist of the USSR. He also
received numerous awards for his contribution to opera and popular
music in the Soviet Union.
The legendary singer also wrote songs, film soundtracks, and
music for theatre performances. In addition, he played in films and
acted as a host in television and radio broadcasts.
There were about 600 works in his repertoire. Muslim Magomayev
is also the author of beautiful songs. His beautiful song
'Azerbaijan', written in the words of the national poet Nabi Xazri,
is one of the most beautiful works dedicated to Azerbaijan.
Muslim Magomayev's achievements in the development of
Azerbaijani national musical culture have always been highly
appreciated.
The prominent singer was awarded the highest awards of
independent Azerbaijan – the Orders of Shohrat and Istiglal.
