Kamburova singer biography

Father - Anton Semenovich Kamburov G. Mother - Zakharova Lidia Markovna G. Brother - Kamburov Vladimir Antonovich, engineer.

Elena Kamburova’s childhood took place in Ukraine, in the city of Khmelnitsky, where a family moved, whose pedigree ascends to the Greeks of the Azov. In her youth, she dreamed of becoming a dramatic actress, seriously fond of poetry, but after school, not being too confident in hard grounds for entering the theater institute, she entered the Kiev Institute of Light Industry, but two years later she left and came to Moscow to enter the B.

Zakhava and student of E. Vakhtangov, the chairman of the examination commission, The outstanding actress C. Mansurova, who taught acting in those years at the school, did not pass the third tour of Kamburov: the bright individuality of the applicants did not fit into the framework of the usual role of the drama theater. Then the character appeared: to stay in Moscow, Elena went to work for a construction site.

The next year, she entered the State School of Circus Art, to a new, just opened pop department. Once, a school teacher S. Kashtelhan showed her several songs of the novel Matveeva, saying: “In my opinion, this is yours.” Thus began the creative path of the singer Elena Kamburova. N. Matveeva’s song “Wind” became the first song with which Kamburova went on stage. Confession, temperament, romanticism of the young singer immediately attracted the attention of the audience.

And it was the poems, the poetic basis of the song became for the Kamburian key in the search for the repertoire. The songs of the short story of Matveeva and Bulat Okudzhava composed the first program of the singer, who decided to sing from the stage about serious and secret. From the first steps on the stage, Elena Kamburova declared herself as a thin and demanding artist.

Poetry is one of the sources that gave it a creative impulse. The music was perceived by a young actress as part of this poetic world, as a means of enlargement of sounding thought and image. She was fascinated by the maximum rapprochement of the word and sound, the spiritualization of the melody. Fate brought her with a talented pianist and composer Larisa Crete.

Together they turned on poetic collections, created a new repertoire - songs that are strikingly dissimilar to the entertaining stage of those years. So, in particular, the cycle of L. Crete's songs arose on the poems of Yu. He included the songs of L. Levitansky, the songs of M. Tariverdiev and Yu. Saulsky to the verses of G. Penyan, Yu. Kim and others. As a result of working with composer M.

Tariverdiev in the repertoire of Kamburova, a cycle of songs on the poems of Grigory Pozhenyan appeared among which the song “I am such a Voznesensky tree, based on“ Farewell, weapon ”, later recorded and released with the same name, in which civilian theme and the theme, which became a kind of Voznesensky. Wars are decided at the level of a separate human person. The possibility of a lyrical decision of civilian themes, the attitude to war is not as a heroic, but as a tragic topic Elena Kamburova embodied in a cycle of songs about the Civil War - the so -called Komsomol songs, for which she was awarded the Moscow Komsomol award in the year.

Elena Kamburova created her style on the stage, erected a domestic song genre to a high step. Her singing is an art representing the synthesis of music, a poetic word and acting, where two more points are certainly present: the author’s involvement and improvisation. Composers began to write specifically for her, in her genre, taking into account her individuality, one might say, the singer became a co -author of these works.

So, together with composer Vladimir Dashkevich, Elena Kamburova created the bright musical and dramatic interpretations of masterpieces of Russian poetry of the first half of the twentieth century. Among them is a cycle of songs for the verses of Vladimir Mayakovsky, a cycle of songs for the verses of Alexander Blok, for the verses of Marina Tsvetaeva, two suits for the voice and orchestra: one of them was written on the cycle of Anna Akhmatova’s poems “Requiem”, and the other “Save my speech” - to poems by Osipa Mandelstam.

Both suits are dedicated to the topic of the tragedy of human fate in the era of the totalitarian Stalinist regime, in the early 10th they were repeatedly performed in Moscow, in the concert hall of P. and in the years the public performance of poetry of the Silver Age from the stage in the conditions of their unspoken ban required courage, courage. Therefore, the name of Kamburova became a landmark for the intelligentsia of those years, and her concerts were a sip of freedom, a rare opportunity to come into contact with a true culture, not secretly passing on to each other forbidden books, but in reality-her performances confirmed that the tradition continued to live and the topics raised in them are still relevant.

Together with V. Dashkevich in the year, Elena Kamburova released the second author's disk - “Listen”, where Dashkevich’s songs are collected for verses by F. Tyutchev, M. Tsvetaeva, O. Mandelstam, V. Mayakovsky and others.Bulat Okudzhava responded to the performer as follows: “Nature took care of her vocal means, but do we have few performers with excellent voices?

I am amazed at the breadth of the possibilities that this master demonstrates: the accuracy of her transitions from a sharp grotesque to a soft sad lyrics, from tragic piercing to quiet laughter. Not everyone is given a happy combination of vocals, mind and talent. This is possessed by Elena Kamburova. " In the year, at the Melody company, the third Camburova disc entitled “May Silence” was recorded at the same time in her concert repertoire, a program with the same name appears in which the singer offered the students a view of Russian history through the song: it is a chronologically and thematically built cycle of songs, which includes Russian folk songs and the author’s points on historical topics in this work took part The ensemble of folk music under the leadership of Dmitry Pokrovsky.

Kamburova never set itself the task of singing a hike, the poetry of her songs has an enduring value, because, perhaps, having appeared once in the singer’s repertoire, the song does not disappear and does not become obsolete, it is always modern. The singer’s repertoire is incredibly diverse, he reflects the versatility of her talent and the breadth of poetic and musical tastes: in it, the songs of Okudzhava and Matveeva, from which she began, and the original, subtle musical interpretations of the poetry of the Silver Age - the verses of M.

Tsvetaeva, A. Akhmatova, O. Mandelstam, A. Blok, G. Ivanov, and more close to us in time by Yu. Levitan, D. Samoilova, A. These are songs, which are based on the finest lyrics of poets of Poland, Latin America, France. The Russian -speaking repertoire is combined with songs in foreign languages ​​- French, English, Polish, Spanish, Greek, Hebrew. Among the foreign repertoire of Elena Kamburova, the songs of the outstanding French chansonnitse of the twentieth century-J.

Brev, Barbara, L. Ferre and others, their work, their understanding of the song genre as the genre of the musical and poetic performance are very close in spirit to the singer. As a dedication to the French like -minded people, Elena Kamburova released a separate program “You see, I remember Kamburova sings the classics - the songs of F. Schubert, P. Tchaikovsky and M. Mussorgsky vocal cycles“ In the Children's ”and“ Songs and Dance of Death ”, easily and convincingly destroying the stereotypes that have developed about their possible performance.

Free ownership of a voice in a very wide range, the richest set of timbres and intonations and acting - the qualities that Kamburova became indispensable in the cinema, in “Singing behind the scenes”; Her voice, always very different and at the same time always recognizable, not like any other, sounds more than in films and cartoons - Kamburova sings for children and adults, for lyrical and characteristic characters, for animals and fairy -tale creatures.

Among her works in the cinema - “Slave of Love”, “Dulcine Toboss”, “The Heaven of the Promised”, “We were not crowned in the Church”, “The Adventures of Electronics”, “My Tender Detective” and others. The singer also appears in the frame: among her acting works, roles in films such as “Monologue” directed A. Simonov, “Theater of an Unknown actor”, director N. Rasheev,, “clown”, “My theater” director G.

Kareuk,, “Turn of the plot”, “Requiem”, “My tender beloved detective”. Kamburova did not limit herself to the genre of concert performances - it is obsessed with the idea of ​​a song performance with all theatrical attributes - scenery, costumes, props, a complex light partitarian. The first experience in this direction was the play “The Game of Dreams” director V. Druzhinin, whose premiere took place in the year in St.

Petersburg. The singer appeared before the audience in the image of a romantic Pierrot. Kamburova is interesting contrasts: as organic as it can go in singing from a thin children's voice to almost opera bass, so, along with a “game game”, there is a mischievous, crafty performance on the pages of American musicals. In the year, Elena Kamburova created the theater of music and poetry, trying to unite the singers and artists close to her in the worldview, and became his artistic director.

And those who, together with me now, my allies, associates, and those with whom we are not yet familiar with, whom tomorrow will give us. And we will already travel together to this country, which makes it possible to live not only in accordance with today's day, but also in accordance with rhythms, vibrations of eternal time. ” The Moscow theater critic Pavel Rudnev speaks so about the works of the theater of music and poetry led by Elena Kamburova: “A tiny, fragile, similar to a puppet house with jewelry, this theater today occupies a niche of one of the brightest chamber scenes of the capital - of course, from among the traditional ones.

The theater of Elena Kamburova today turns into a small wonderful fairy tale with the truth about how to build a theater. Elena Kamburova built the theater not for herself, but for the idea - to combine acting and a song. Both are on a professional level.The theater of Elena Kamburova is permeated with music - dramatic, purely not chandering. Here the music has become a self -sufficient director for a whole repertoire.

I want to go and walk into this theater with a view of the Novodevichy Monastery. ” Among the works of the theater is the performance of the "Hello, Jacques Brel" about the life and work of the great chansonnier Director A. Bordukov, Mono -performance by Elena Kamburova “7 notebooks of a teacher of Russian literature Julia Kim, filled with his own hand” director O.
