Kolokolnikov Irkutsk State University, Irkutsk annotation. For the first time, the creative path of the singer V. Lvova, who began his creative path in Irkutsk as a choir of the East Siberian Radio Committee, is first highlighted in detail. Subsequently, for many years she was a soloist of the All -Union radio and established herself as a successful chamber plan. The article was based on work with documents of state and private archives, as well as printed sources.

Key words: Irkutsk, music, Vera Lvova, singer, radio. Irkutsk is well known as one of the oldest cultural centers of Siberia. The development of Irkutsk culture is associated with the names of many major figures of musical art. At different times, students of such outstanding musical figures as N. Rimsky-Korsakov, A. Rubinstein, K. Davydov, L. Rudolf, N. Dubasov and others lived and worked in the city.

This greatly enriched the development of the musical culture of the Siberian city. Unfortunately, many significant names related to the musical history of Irkutsk are undeservedly forgotten. Among them are the name of the once famous singer Vera Alexandrovna Lvova GG. She made a successful vocal career, having worked in Moscow for many years as a regular soloist of the All -Union radio.

Meanwhile, Lviv was born in Irkutsk and it is to this city that is owed to the choice of life path. At the moment, it is possible to state the complete absence of publications devoted directly to this vocalist both on the pages of the central press and in local publications. There is only one article where the milestones of the creative biography of V. are presented by the author of this publication - her sister N.

Lviv [11]. Unfortunately, the biography of the singer is stated there in a fairly short form. Although the significance of these memories is certainly extremely great, for compiling a detailed biography of V. Lvov, the data set forth by her sister should be significantly supplemented. This is all the more appropriate because in July, on December 8, this article was created on the basis of working with materials of state and private archives, publications of periodicals of different years, audio recordings preserved in the Irkutsk Regional Museum of Local Lore and the phonotex of the Irkutsk journalist I.

Relatives of V. Lvova, who live near Irkutsk, provided great assistance in the preparation of this article. Vera Aleksandrovna Lvova was born in the city of she was the youngest child in the family of a famous Irkutsk scientist - professor Alexander Vladimirovich Lviv GG. He is well known for his research, pedagogical and social activities. Lviv was a pupil of St.

Petersburg University, where in the c. For the same reason, the young man in the city of Tunka of the Irkutsk province. Already during this period, he conducted active research work and soon became a participant in geological expeditions created to conduct studies of the area in the area where the construction of the Krugobay-Kali railway was planned.

After the end of the exile, A. Lviv left for Yekaterinburg, where he lived in his youth, but in the city he continued research activities, participated in various expeditions, and in the GG. In the city of Lviv, he was approved in the rank of professor. In addition, the scientist collaborated with the medical institute and conducted an active popularization of scientific knowledge, giving lectures to various groups of listeners [7, p.

During the period of many years of the scientist, several dozen of his works were published. The life of this person is devoted to a detailed biographical study created by N. Tolstikhin in collaboration with the eldest daughter of the scientist - Nina Alexander Lvova GG. It should be noted that A. Lviv was a versatile person. For example, during the leisure hours he wrote poetry, which were also subsequently collected and published with the direct participation of N.

Lvova [8]. The preserved gramophone records belonging to Professor Lviv and his wife indicate a good musical taste of this couple. Among the works recorded on these records, you can find a duet from the opera Trubadur D. Verdi, “Legend with bells” from the opera Lakme L. Deliba, “Lensky’s romances” and the romances of P. Tchaikovsky, the famous romance “Night” by A.

Rubinstein and other remarkable creations of Russian and foreign classics. It is very likely that it was with these records that the first musical impressions of the little faith were associated. This assumption is also confirmed by the fact that, recalling the years of children, N. Lvova subsequently said: “We often listened to perfectly selected records from which the voices of the famous singers of Russia and Europe sounded.” She also recalled that their father cared about the intellectual development of his children.

This is how N. Lvova describes the situation in which they grew up: “Instead of icons, flowers or cabinets with books, windows with a collection of minerals, and a gramophone stood in all the“ holy ”corners. There were many portraits of scientists and public figures in the father’s office.In other rooms - paintings, figurines on shelves in the nursery stood lockers with a personal library of everyone.

The father, besides books, did not give us anything ”[10]. The first musical classes of V. Lvova took place under the guidance of a neighbor - a teacher of singing Musin [11]. But a truly fateful point can be considered the day when the girl began to study the piano playing the piano at Evgenia Grigoryevna Gorodetskaya GG. It is deservedly considered the founder of the Irkutsk piano school, although piano pedagogy began to emerge in the city long before its arrival.

But it was this unique teacher that such vivid pianists as E. Balabin, T. Bendlin, T. Zaorskaya, I. Patrusheva, L. Zerodilova and others were brought up. Gorodetskaya was a graduate of the St. Petersburg Conservatory, which was graduated from the Reichardt [13, p. In addition, A. Rubinstein was one of her teachers at the conservatory, about which the pianist later very often recalled in conversations with students.

It is worth noting that E. Gorodetskaya possessed the widest knowledge in the field of various types of performing, and therefore, in the preparation of various concerts, she worked a lot not only with pianists, but also with their other participants, especially with vocalists. First of all, this applies to the period of conducting lectures-concerts, called "musical spot". They united the best professionals and lovers of Irkutsk.

Pupils of local vocal teachers did not participate in the "Fridays", not going on an additional long -term process of working with E. Studying with it, the vocalists received, in the words of T. Bendlin, “valuable instructions” [5]. Subsequently, V. Gagarin, who became the soloist of the Bolshoi Theater of the USSR, with great gratitude recalled such classes with Gorodetskaya [13, p.

Of the vocalists, the creative formation of which was facilitated by E. Gorodetskaya, the most famous Nadezhda Apollinariyevna Kazantseva GG. Having evaluated the unique vocal capabilities of the girl and giving her some vocal training, it was Gorodetskaya who advised her to go for further training in Moscow, where Kazantseva eventually made the brightest vocal career, becoming a soloist of the All -Union Radio Committee.

Being in various countries of the world, N. Kazantseva regularly visited her fellow countrymen, coming to Irkutsk on tour. Lvova also studied with E. Gorodetskaya as a pianist for a long time.
