Creative career
According to Vladimir Baikov himself, it was the last hobby that won the battle between scientific activity and music. The opera singer believes that in his case the example of Alexander Borodin is very indicative, who all his life tried to combine a scientist and a composer in his person. And as a result of this kind of symbiosis, the world saw the polymerization of aldehydes, which other representatives of the academic community would have soon invented, but never got to know his Third Symphony in its finished form.
Baikov's musical career began to be realized in 1993, when he made his debut on the stage of the S. S. Prokofiev. And the country really recognized him in 1998. After all, the artist began to perform on the famous stage of the Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Musical Theater.
