Evgenia Valerievna Smolyaninova grew up listening to her mother's songs, preparing to become a pianist. Her further fate was changed by the old songwriter, who gave birth to the girl's interest in the performing style of folk songs. Studying with such performers, E. Smolyaninova developed her own style, which is characterized by listening not to music, but to her soul.
From biography
Evgenia Valerievna Smolyaninova was born in 1964 in Novokuznetsk. The family moved to Kemerovo. Mother taught a foreign language and sang beautifully. Eugene admitted that her voice was from her mother and from her paternal grandmother. Father is a professional athlete, teacher-trainer. She studied at a music school, then at a music school in Leningrad. During her studies, she performed as a singer for the first time. During folklore expeditions she collected folk songs. She discovered many forgotten romances in the archives.
The eve of a creative career
The singing destiny of Evgenia Smolyaninova began with her acquaintance with folk songs performed by Olga Fedoseevna Sergeeva. The girl was shocked by her performance, and a moment came when for 3 years she could not calm down and lived with the desire to sing in the same way, so that the listeners would brighten their souls and not be ashamed to cry. And Evgenia managed to reincarnate. When she came to this old woman and put on a disk with her songs, she said that she was singing it herself. When the truth was revealed, the woman was glad, and then she said that no one needed such songs. This old woman is no longer alive, and Eugenia's songs are in demand.
Harmony of the soul
To some extent, the cinema added to her fame. She began to sing romances, voicing the roles of performers. She starred in films:
But she fell in love with singing for an open audience, where her performance is an emotional performance and this is how she feels like an actress. It is in the hall that she feels harmony in her soul. For her, a living person is important, what is important is what is passed from one soul to another, cleansing tears are important, such as those that she had when she listened to the old woman who gave her wings.
The musical appearance of the singer
E. Smolyaninova makes her unique and striking phenomenon in the musical culture of the first two decades of the 20th century by her bell-shaped, silvery, gentle and quivering voice and performing manner. Listening to her, a person thinks - where is she from: from Ancient Russia or from the Silver Age, from lost Russia or from Russia-dreams. Her repertoire is rich and varied: folk songs, romances, spiritual poems and ballads, tango, etc. Her voice can be heard and flowering plants, and starlight in the window, and prayer, and blessing, and lullaby. Those listening to her singing represent all the colors of life: how the daring troika rushes, how the snowstorm sweeps, how the waves splash, how the lark pours loudly, how the mother calms the baby, and he dreams of miracles. She sings the very life of the people. And Russian song and life are inseparable.
Songs of her soul
Works about mother's love and prayer are a traditional song theme, because mother is life, this is our everything that we have. Without her, without her care in childhood, it is bad. As an adult, a person begins to understand to a greater extent the significance of this relative in his life. It is easier for a person if he has a mother who prays for him, even for an adult.
On a moonlit winter night and early spring, the sound of a bell reminds not only of the joyful meeting of two lovers. Life can change suddenly, and they part, because fate turned out differently: the beloved went to the rival.
A. S. Pushkin writes about A. P. Kern, with whom he was in love. He calls the meeting with her "a wonderful moment." The poet went to his homeland, he is again in a secular society, but still thinks about her. Then the events that took place in his life clouded her image. In a remote exile, his life was gloomy. When the author met the woman again, the senses were reawakened.
It's hard to write, sing, think about human longing. As dreams come true exist, so unfulfilled dreams will not disappear anywhere. They often look like memories in a person's soul and melt like snowflakes.
It is known that the godfather is the godmother, the woman who became the mother of the child who was christened. In rural areas, where the population is small, many people become godfathers - close people, almost relatives. In the song, the gossip turns to the others with a request not to forget her: to take her to the garden for flowers so that she too can weave a wreath. She complains that her wreath, put on the water, has drowned. She complains about her loneliness and asks the gossips not to deprive her of love.
The memory of the heart, the memory of the human soul is so arranged that it repeatedly returns him to the past. This is both painful and sometimes strange. Often a person reproaches himself for something. Probably, this is how it should be, because man is not artificial intelligence. The question is - why do memories arise? - will always exist. For man is a remembered being.
From personal life
The son of E. Smolyaninova is Svyatoslav. As a professional musician and teacher of the school of guitar skills, screenwriter, he takes part in concert activities. He accompanies Evgenia Valerievna. Having grown to love playing the guitar since childhood, he is now a teacher, he says, in the third generation. He enjoys teaching as a mental and emotional process, as well as performing on stage.
Listens to your soul
E. Smolyaninova, who in her childhood dreamed of becoming a pianist, was made famous by fate to continue the traditions of folk singing, from which, as she says, she enjoys. M. Tsvetaeva wrote that she listens not to music, but to her soul. These words of the poetess are the credo of the singer. The creativity of the "crystal voice of Russia" continues.
