M K MAKSAKOV , baritone

Maximilian Maksakov (Baritone) (M. A. Maks) (Chernivtsi, Bukovina 1869 – Moscow 1936) 

His real name was Max Schwarz. He studied singing with C. Everardi in St. Petersburg, then with A. Buzzi in Milan. Additionally he studied vocal art under K. Ryadnov in Tbilisi. He made his debut in 1889 in  Rostov-Na-Donu as Demon in A. Rubinstein’s opera ‘’Demon’’. From 1889 to 1897 and in 1900 Maksakov appeared at the Tbilisi Opera and Ballet Theatre. From 1889 to 1897  he sang also at Azerbaijan State Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre. He made guest appearances in Kazan (1894, 1897/1898), Moscow (Bolshoi Theatre 1895, Aquarium Theatre 1905-1907), St. Petersburg ( 1898-99, 1901; 1902), Saratov, Nizhny Novgorod (1906), Kharkov (1907), Odessa (1908/1909, 1924), Kiev (1909), Vienna (1911), Astrakhan (1920-1923) and Tbilisi (1929). He was a diminutive man with a dramatic voice, which was said to lack charm and flexibility. Like other Russian singers of his era, he became an impresario with visions of reforming opera. Ultimately, his efforts proved futile and after suffering financial loss he returned to the standard repertory. His recordings are extremely rare.
