Izabela Jurjev

Izabela Jeljeva (Russian: Изабелла Даниловна Юрьева) (born September 7, 1899 or 1902 in Rostov on Don, died January 20, 2000) is a Russian singer.

She made her debut in the theater in Rostov on Don's "По старой Калужской дороге" in 1920. In 1922, during her stay in Moscow she was heard by the important accompanist A. Taskin. Her bewildered voice told her to learn the next day of the song to perform on the stage. In 1925, during her tour in Russia's most important cities, Moscow and Leningrad met her husband.

In 1926 she managed to leave Paris with her husband, where she performed in Olympia. She made such a powerful impression that she was offered a performance in the film. She had to refuse and return to the USSR. <<> In the following years, Jurjev suffered from depression due to the death of a short-lived son of Volodya, born with congenital heart disease. The singer continued to sing and the interest in her talent grew. In 1937 she was invited to the Kremlin, where she met with Mikhail Kalinin, a Soviet politician. Probably tried to influence the decision to ban the romance and western music in the Soviet Union. Quiet and criticized for "bourgeois", he resigned from his further career in 1966. Then her husband, Arkadjev, dies.

It was not until 1992 that she was recognized for her 90th birthday gig. It was astonishing for the audience that 90-year-old Isabella Jurjev herself sang at the concert. The Russian authorities, appreciating Yuri's long-term mute talent, called it the Russian National Artist. The singer also sang for 95 years the most famous songs - among others Он уехал and the Russian version of tango Scrivimi. She was interviewed for the rest of her life, in which she recalled her once-in-a-lifetime career, somehow restoring any knowledge of her government's interpretations of noise. Izabela Jeljeva was completely omitted from the Western stage despite significant creations. She died in 2000 in Rostov.
