Έφυγε χθες από τη ζωή στα 87 χρόνια του ο πολύ καλός ηθοποιός Γιώργος Μοσχίδης. Γνωστός σε πολλούς από εμάς κυρίως από τον κινηματογράφο (τον θυμόμαστε σε χαρακτηριστικούς ρόλους στις ταινίες Ο Άνθρωπος για Όλες τις Δουλειέςμαζί με τον Γιώργο Κωνσταντίνου, δίπλα στον Λάμπρο Κωσνταντάρα στον Φαφλατά και τον Τρελλοπενηντάρη, αλλά και σε ταινίες του ΝΕΚ, όπως Τα Χρώματα της Ίριδοςτου Παναγιωτόπουλου ή στα πιο πρόσφατα χρόνια στον Καβάφη του Σμαραγδή), ο Μοσχίδης ήταν βασικά (είτε σε ρόλους κωμικούς είτε σε δραματικούς) ένας θεατρικός ηθοποιός.
Μέλος του Θεάτρου Τέχνης του Καρόλου Κουν, αλλά και του Εθνικού Θεάτρου, ο Μοσχίδης είχε την τύχη να συνεργαστεί με μεγάλες/μεγάλους ηθοποιούς (Μαίρη Αρώνη, Βάσω Μανωλίδου, Έλλη Λαμπέτη, Αντιγόνη Βαλάκου, Νίκος Χατζίσκος, Δημήτρης Χορν κ.ά.).

Στους περισσότερους από εμάς μάλλον δεν είναι γνωστό πως ο Μοσχίδης είχε πάθος με τα ρεμπέτικα τραγούδια και πως για χρόνια υπήρξε μανιώδης συλλέκτης δίσκων 78 στροφών.

Γι’ αυτή την… περιπέτειά του είχε αφηγηθεί στον Αλέξη Βάκη τα σχετικά, τα οποία μεταφέρω τώρα εδώ από ένα παλαιότερο τεύχος του περιοδικού Μετρονόμος (#62, Ιανουάριος-Μάρτιος 2017).

Ο Γιώργος Μοσχίδης, όταν εμφανιζόταν με το θίασο της Έλλης Λαμπέτη, στο Θέατρον Βρετάνια, στα «Σαράντα Καράτια», τη σεζόν 1969-70

Από πολύ μικρός άρχισα να ακούω τα ρεμπέτικα. Και στην Καβάλα, κυρίως όμως στη Θεσσαλονίκη. Λίγο-λίγο, αυτοί οι ήχοι μπήκαν μέσα μου, τους συνέδεσα με τα κομμάτια της ζωής μου. Προς το τέλος του Εμφυλίου ας πούμε, όταν ήμουνα στα μπουλούκια και γυρνάγαμε στα βουνά και στα λαγκάδια ακούγαμε τον Τραυματία και άλλα σχετικά τραγούδια.

Την εποχή που κατέβηκα στην Αθήνα, γνωρίστηκα με τον μπαρμπα-Γιάννη τον Παπαϊωάννου. Γίναμε πολύ φίλοι, κάναμε παρέα. Μου έμαθε πολλά τραγούδια και μου είπε διάφορες ιστορίες ο μπαρμπα-Γιάννης. Έτσι, με τη βοήθεια του Ηλία Πετρόπουλου, άρχισα να μαζεύω δίσκους 78 στροφών από το Μοναστηράκι. Υπήρχαν ήδη αρκετοί συλλέκτες, με τους οποίους ανταλλάσσαμε δίσκους. Θυμάμαι π.χ. ότι κάποιος απ’ αυτούς τους συλλέκτες, ένας αρχιτέκτονας, είχε διπλό έναν δίσκο που δεν τον είχα εγώ και τον έψαχνα: το Τάγμα Τηλεγραφητών του Τσιτσάνη. Παζαρεύαμε για να μου τον δώσει, αλλά ζήταγε πολλά. Έτσι δεν μπόρεσα να τον πάρω. Εν τέλει μάζεψα περίπου χίλιους πεντακόσιους δίσκους, σμυρναίικα και ρεμπέτικα. Με είχε πιάσει μανία. Πολλές φορές, μάλιστα, στερούσα τον εαυτό μου από άλλα πράγματα, για να αποκτήσω έναν σπάνιο δίσκο.

Όταν έπαιζa με τον κύριο Χορν, ήρθε μια μέρα στο σπίτι μου. Του έβαλα να ακούσει διάφορα ρεμπέτικα, που είχα προσεκτικά διαλέξει για εκείνον: Τσιγγάνε σπάσε το βιολί, Το γράμμα, Το ρημαγμένο σπίτι, Σβήσε το φως να κοιμηθούμε και μερικά ακόμα. Ενθουσιάστηκε ο Τάκης. Και όπως ήταν πολύ γενναιόδωρος, την άλλη μέρα που έκανε δώρο ένα καταπληκτικό γραμμόφωνο με μπρούτζινο χωνί.

Κάποια στιγμή αναγκάστηκα να πουλήσω τη συλλογή μου. Χρωστούσα χρήματα κάπου και έπρεπε να είμαι εντάξει. Την πούλησα σε ένα φίλο μου γιατρό, δεν γινόταν αλλιώς. Όμως πριν του δώσω τους δίσκους, γύριζε συνεχώς στο μυαλό μου ένα τραγούδι του Μητσάκη, το Παλτό, που έλεγε:

"Χειμώνιασε κι ο μάγκας τρουρτουρίζει

χωρίς παλτό στο κρύο που γυρίζει.

Μάγκα πώς θα την περάσεις

και πώς θα ξεχειμωνιάσεις;

Θα ’χεις χάσει και τα δυο

και αυτήν και το παλτό"

Στις μέρες μας αρκετοί τραγουδιστές και κομπανίες τραγουδάνε πάρα πολύ καλά τα ρεμπέτικα. Τυχαίνει να τους ακούω. Αλλά τα τραγουδάνε διαφορετικά. Κι αυτό συμβαίνει διότι ο χρόνος, μέσα στον οποίο περνάει η ζωή, μας αλλάζει. Αλλιώς ζούσαν, σκέφτονταν και αισθάνονταν οι άνθρωποι το 1930 και αλλιώς σήμερα. Σε μένα τα ρεμπέτικα έμειναν μέσα μου έτσι όπως ήταν παλιά. Είναι σαν να θυμάσαι το πρώτο φιλί που έδωσες στο κορίτσι που αγάπησες. Τα κορίτσια μπορεί ν’ αλλάζουν, αλλά η γεύση του πρώτου φιλιού παραμένει.

To many people, the name Ravi Shankar instantly conjures up a whole slew of cultural images from the ’60s. The Beatles were shuffling off their mop-top image and moving into more Eastern-themed sounds, under the spiritual leadership of George Harrison. A more peaceful, meditative – yet rebellious – alternative to the madness of the Vietnam War. Yet the man who is considered one of the most instantly recognizable Indians aside from possibly Gandhi was successfully plying his trade for decades before his Western fame.
Born Rabindra Shankar Chowdhury in 1920, Shankar moved to Paris at the age of 10 to be part of his brother’s dance troupe, was introduced to the sitar at the age of 18 upon hearing the instrument at a classical concert performance…

…in Calcutta, learned how to play it, and began a long, fruitful period of composing music for orchestras that mixed Indian and classical Western instrumentation. He composed pieces with famed violinist Yehudi Menuhin, performed recitals in the former Soviet Union in the ’50s, and recorded music both in the early 78 RPM “shellac” format as well as the later 33 RPM LP format. He was awarded India’s highest civilian honor, the Bharat Ratna. While it can be forgiven that most current associations with his music have to do with hippies and clouds of pot smoke, there is a much deeper, richer history.

As part of their Rough Guide series, the UK-based World Music Network label has compiled a concise, yet hugely gratifying one-disc compilation of Shankar’s work that goes a long way in boiling down Hindusthani music to its very essence. There are no gimmicks here – no gratuitous celebrity guest stars, no posthumous remixes, and while his celebrated performances at both the Monterey Pop Festival and Woodstock are brilliant and culturally significant, they are wisely left off this set for the sake of cultural purity. (You can Google those performances if you like – to be honest, they’re definitely worth checking out).

Instead, The Rough Guide to Ravi Shankar includes some of the sitarist’s most memorable performances of six different ragas, compiled by Ken Hunt, Shankar’s official biographer. In the world of multi-disc anthology collections, a single disc hardly seems generous, and while it’s true that multiple volumes of Shankar’s music can (and have been) compiled, this collection is a small treasure.

Spanning several decades, the collection opens with the first of two recordings of “Tilak Shyam”, and while the evidence of limited technology comes through this early session, the performance is typically breathtaking as Shankar and his fellow musicians manage to strike a balance between peaceful droning and the sitar’s lightning-fast notes. This performance underscores both the technical limitations of early recording techniques and how the best musicians transcend them. A 1966 recording of “Tilak Shyam” is also included. Not surprisingly, this latter version is of a much higher quality (and much longer, stretching out to 24 minutes), but the quality of the musicianship is consistent throughout the entire set.

While Western ears not expertly attuned to traditional Indian music may not see a wide difference in the arrangements of these recordings, there’s a variety of tempi throughout the collection, and instruments take on different emphasis in different ragas. “Megh”, for instance, begins with what sounds like a ritual tuning of the strings, followed by several minutes of heavy tabla, giving the raga a distinctive, percussive feel. The closing track, “Mishra Bhairavi”, favors a higher register, giving the ever-present “droning” a more pronounced place in the music. Clocking in at nearly a half-hour, “Mishra Bhairavi” gives the musicians plenty of avenues to explore, and while it lacks some of the speedy, intense fervor of the tracks that precede it, the overall effect is still stunning.

Popular Western musicians of all stripes revered Shankar, and while he seemed warm in their embrace, he was quick to distance himself from some of the cultural associations, particularly regarding drug use. “It makes me feel rather hurt when I see the association of drugs with our music,” he once explained. “The music to us is religion. The quickest way to reach godliness is through music.” If you want to explore Shankar’s music pure and unfiltered, The Rough Guide to Ravi Shankar is a breathtaking, deeply satisfying ride. — PopMatters
