Содержание
Olga Voronets - one of the most favourite and sought-after Russian performers in the genre of folk and pop music. Born in Smolensk, the future star was born into a musical family and received a truly aristocratic upbringing, much to the credit of her grandmother, who came from impoverished Smolensk nobility. As a child, Olga lived through parental divorceHowever, she always remained in a warm relationship with her father. Her life was rich, colourful, passionate... As was her art, which was not just a "piece of soul", but a real Russian spirit.
Today we decided to remember some of the best songs performed by this unrivalled woman. We also decided to dilute our selection with interesting facts from Olga Borisovna's life. So - enjoy your listening!
"Looking into the blue lakes."
She started small, but her star lit up quite quickly. At the height of her fame, Olga Voronets had a sumptuous repertoire and could boast that she worked with brilliant composers. She travelled extensively throughout the Soviet Union with concerts, and the public loved her unconditionally.
Alas, but with all her talent, Olga Borisovna was never able to fulfil one of her cherished dreams. And this film or theatre role. She had a great education and charisma, but she was not called - did not go somehow in this direction. Although once, having already passed her seventh decade, she had the opportunity to play a villager - a lame woman who was older than her husband. The artist refused such an offer - this is not what she dreamed of all her life.
"Kalinka."
It may not be the most popular song performed Voronetsbut she meant a lot to the singer.
Early in her career, Olga performed pop songs. She turned to folk art quite by accident, but, as it turned out, it was her element. The song "Kalinka." widely celebrated singer in the genre, earning her the nickname of Olga-Kalinka.
"Why do you girls love the pretty ones?"
On the cusp of glory Voronets and Zykina often referred to "rivals" - that they had a common audience. But to be fair, they had different repertoires. And they were never rivals - each was developing in her own direction.
One day Olga decided to "experiment a little", and performed a song by Zykina "Mummy, Sweet Mummy". Lyudmila Georgievna got angry and said:
"What do you need it for? It's my song, and it sounds my way!"
"Where do I get a song like that?"
Oddly enough, when starting out, a lot of people discouraged Voronets from her singing career.
"They said: 'You don't need it, give it up already! You see how artists are pressed. Do you want that?"
But fortunately for you and me, Olga Borisovna wasn't listening to anyone. According to her own words, the thing she was most motivated phrase:
"No matter how hard you try, you can't sing better than Yurieva (Isabella)!"
"You've got the whole world on your head."
Olga Borisovna's life was much lovewhich brought emotion and passion to her performance. Alas, but her first romance turned out to be a sad chapter of her life... With her first husband, the singer was not signed. They met in Smolensk, but soon the young man was taken to the front. Olga remained devoted to her lover for many years, and even when in 1948 he was sentenced to 6 years for being a prisoner of war, she wrote letters to him in prison.
When she was released, her husband was never able to go to Moscow with Olga - they wouldn't let him. And the woman needed to build a career - there were few prospects in Smolensk. On that note, they parted on that note.
"My little village."
Olga was a big fan jewellery. And it was drawing attention to her - not at all something to aspire to. So, one day she was robbed! Unfortunately, the perpetrators were never exposed.
Despite her popularity and high-profile name, Voronets has always remained a ordinary woman. The singer liked to go to the bazaar and was not averse to bargaining. Seeing what expensive jewellery she was wearing made some sellers angry, to which Olga calmly replied:
"We're in a market, honourable people. I have to bargain here, otherwise everyone will think I'm short of money. And that's not true. And I'm not in the habit of throwing money around."
"Grown Daughters."
That's the song Olga sang in a special wayAnd there is a good reason for that... A reason that has always made the singer sad. Unfortunately, in her long life, the singer has never been able to have children. There are rumours that the song "Grown Daughters." hit her right where it hurts.
"You can't argue with nature. God didn't give it, and I am powerless before him".
