В новой книге из серии «Русские шансонье» вы узнаете о фascinating history of the first gypsy choir of Count Orlov; about the friendship with a nomadic tribe by Pushkin and Tolstoy; about the creation story behind the famous song «Tsiganochka»; about customs and traditions of old Petersburg’s gypsy choirs; as well as tales of love between dark-eyed beauties and grand dukes. During NEP (New Economic Policy) years, luxurious hall «Yara» will be replaced by smoky tavern called «Arbatsky Podval», where young Lialya Chernaya dances for Yesenin to Hungarian music while singing along to two guitars. The era will come to an end, restrictions on Gypsies’ activities will be imposed but in Moscow, world’s first Romani theater named ‘Romen’ opens its doors creating new stars that shine bright. In Parisian cabarets reserved for former noblesse et blancs russes fleeing from Bolshevik regime one can still hear performances of songs like “Ochi chernye” sung passionately by Dimitrievichis’, Polyakovys’, Massalskis’… Years pass, Nikolai Slichenko — known as Soviet Union’s greatest Roma performer – takes center stage at Olympia amidst thunderous applause being carried triumphantly all way up until Arc de Triomphe… Half a century later Kolpakov Trio’s guitars resonate alongside Madonna herself captivated by artistry displayed through Russian Roma culture. Our journey spans across 200 years rich in history filled with desperation, sorrowful melodies yet also fateful love stories which our compact disc accompanies exclusively within printed edition
