Vladimir Kuznetsov was born 20th of June. 1920 in Perm. Since 5 years he began to
master the diatonic accordion of his senior brother When Vladimir has learned to
play, junkets began to invite him to parties, weddings where he played national
music.
In 1932, in 12 years he already executed "Rondo alla Turca" by W.A. Mozart and the
overture to G. Bizet's opera "Carmen". He played all compositions on hearing; sometimes
even it was necessary to change original tonalities because of the limited range
of the instrument. In 1932 in Sverdlovsk there held Olympiad of children's amateur
performances. Vladimir has participated there with great success - he became the
winner, and in the award the organizing committee of Olympiad has granted his treasured
desire, - to him have bought the new instrument.
At that time he was frequently invited to evenings of dances where foreign modern
dances sounded: pas de quatre, pas d' Espagne, waltz-boston, foxtrot Vladimir very
much wanted to study professional playing the bayan. In 16 years he was accepted
to study in music-pedagogical college of Perm.
During Vladimir's study on 2 year
of musical college, to Perm there has arrived on performances Ensemble of songs
and dancings of RSFSR. Competition on replacement of a vacant post was declared.
By then Vladimir already worked in workers club. In 1939 he was accepted in ensemble,
and he has left in structure of this collective to go on tour to Yaroslavl In 1940
the ensemble has moved to Leningrad.
In the same year in Leningrad there passed the draft commission on which V. Kuznetsov
was caused also. One of members of the commission, the chief of school of younger
air-experts, was the bayan player and, having found out, that Kuznetsov the excellent
bayan player, has taken him to itself in Oranienbaum. Once during trip for purchase
of an accordion in Tallinn, Vladimir has met with familiar of Ensemble of songs
and dancings of RSFSR which has informed him that the set of bayan players in new
ensemble is made under the direction of I.O. Dunaevsky. The idea on work in this
ensemble did not leave Vladimir. Soon he started service in the Central ensemble
of navy fleet (or as it then named, Ensemble of five seas).
After the beginning of war the ensemble has transferred the base to Moscow. April,
1, 1942 over Ladoga lake collective evacuated from Leningrad, two weeks emaciated

During war concert brigades which left on places of fights, the naval ships and
in coastal bases with concert programs were formed. Vladimir Kuznetsov worked with
such actors, as Nikolay Trofimov, Paul Necheporenko, Olga Nesterova, Ben Benzianov.
In 1944 ensemble have disbanded. Vladimir Kuznetsov and bayan player Boris Petrov
have forwarded in ensemble of the Baltic Fleet to Leningrad The ensemble was a part
of the big formation - Theatre of the Baltic Fleet consisting of drama theatre,
a jazz and ensemble (chorus, an orchestra, dancing group). In 1944 in Leningrad
Vladimir Kuznetsov married on the secretary of ensemble. Soon the ensemble has transferred
the base to Tallinn, then Baltijsk (Kaliningrad) and, at last, to Klaipeda. In Baltijsk
Kuznetsov was appointed the head of the orchestra. The military period of the biography
of V. Kuznetsov was marked by several military awards, including the award of the
Red Star by which the musician was awarded for active concert activity by the ships
and bases of Northern fleet. Thus peace work of the musician was equal to a heroic
feat of the soldier.
In 1948 Kuznetsov has got demobilize and has returned to Leningrad. In the same
year he was accepted in staff on the Leningrad radio. In 1948 the duet of bayan
players Vladimir Kuznetsov - Ivan Tikhonov who sounded programs on radio, live concerts
on the air was formed. The repertoir of the duet included own arrangements of Russian
and other national songs and dances, transcriptions of Russian and foreign classics.
In parallel Kuznetsov worked in the orchestra of Russian national instruments of
a name of V.V. Andreev and in I. Jacque's youth orchestra.
In 50th years the artel "Plastmass" letting out phonograph records (the musical
head - Anatoly Badhen) was formed Vladimir Kuznetsov began to invite to rec¬ords.

with solo compositions, with Ilya Jacque's ensemble Record on a plate in the House
of Radio, basically solo and duets with I. Tikhonov, V. Tikhov, was in parallel

Somehow in one group there was Vladimir Kuznetsov and Boris Tihonov (the known bayan
player from Moscow), played the divided groups, but in one concert played "The Fantasia
about Moscow" and "Karelian-Finnish polka" in duet.
