The laureate of the republican viewer of the work of young specialists “Best Work of the Year” in - was the main architect of Yerevan. The legend under the named “Arakjalner” “Apostles” was born at the end of X at the initiative of the spiritual leader of the group Arthur Mescyan.

The songs of the three students of the Yerevan Polytechnic University - Mescyan himself, Levona Melikyan and Grigor Nalbandan, became the voice of an entire generation overnight. Having merged spiritual Armenian music with rocking in those years, the group left an unforgettable impression on the listeners and became a real revelation. Even Soviet censorship X and tens of thousands of Armenians listened to their records listened to the success of the Apostles.

The performance of The Insane asylum author-Arthur Meschyan-the first Armenian rock opera in history, even more strengthened the popularity of the group. This was followed by tour of the universities of the Soviet republics. In the year, Catholicos of all Armenians Vazgen I invited Meschean to write a requiem dedicated to the anniversary of the Armenian genocide.

The presentation of the material took place in the rootstole Echmiadzin a year later: Catholicos blessed the performance, but the matter never reached the recording.

Despite the fact that the “Requiem” album was never released, some songs from there, created on the basis of Ishkhan’s poems, later ended up in other albums of Mescyan and became classic. In the m and Meschyan, something, at that time, was almost impossible: a performance on the second national television. His songs were sounded in the soundtrack to the television and fiber "cannibal", who also had political connotation.

By the beginning of the next decade, Arakjalner unexpectedly disappeared from the musical arena, and in M ​​Meschyan he returned in order to start his own path. Two of his students joined him - Vaan Arzruni and Gurgen Melikeyan. The old fans were again next to him, and the number of new ones grew, despite the fact that his concerts were actually prohibited. In the same year, Meschyan first decided to try his hand at the cinema.

In the film “The Fire flickering in Dali” about the poet Michael Nalbandan, he received not only the main role, but also the complete freedom in creating the musical design of the picture. The latter condition for the disgraced musician was unusually seductive: in this way, for the first and last time he got the opportunity to conduct a professional recording in the USSR, at the "Melody" studio.

As a result, the film included three of his provisions. The second cinema is the Mescyan - the film “And everything will be repeated” was released in the year, after the musician crossing the ocean. At the same time, Meschyan, who still says that he is not a musician, but an architect, continued to work in his main specialty in the ArmgoSproject and ArmenpromProject. In those years, he created the projects of the Yerevan International Airport "Zvartnot", the House of Government Receptions, as well as the new building of Matenadaran, whose construction after a long break was again continued at the end of troubled times, the Karabakh movement begins in M ​​in M.

Like the whole people, Meschyan raises his vote against the arbitrariness that is going on in Artsakh. At the same time, even then he understood that people who were at the head of the movement are not those people who really think about the good of the people. As a result, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Armenia drowned in darkness, cold and lawlessness. In the year, even under the Soviet regime, Meschyan and his wife and two sons moved to the United States, where he finally managed to record a huge material accumulated over two decades, working in parallel to an architect.

In M, the first album was born - Catharsis, after which two years later followed the “Mad Monologue”, then Catharsis II, Wander and Communion. All these works instantly became the fact that in show business they were called hits-both in Armenia and among the diaspora. In the event of Arthur Mescyan, rich in the events of the life of Arthur Mescyan, it opened in the year when, after 17 years in the United States, he and his wife returned to his homeland.The series of concerts that followed the return was a real event for a huge number of his fans, who, after so many years, managed to see the ex-Arakal on stage again.

Two concert discs were the logical continuation of these performances. However, despite their great success, now Meschyan is in no hurry to perform new jobs, preferring to engage in architecture. Since the year, Arthur Meschyan has been living and has been working in Yerevan, he has already given concerts several times.
