Elena Obraztsova

Ua wehewehe ʻo MV Peskova iā Obraztsova i kāna ʻatikala: "ʻO ka mea mele nui o ko mākou manawa, ua lilo kāna hana i mea koʻikoʻi i ke ola mele honua. Loaʻa iā ia kahi moʻomeheu mele impeccable, ʻenehana leo maikaʻi. ʻO kāna mezzo-soprano waiwai i hoʻopiha ʻia me nā waihoʻoluʻu naʻau, intonational expressiveness, subtle psychologism a me unconditional dramatic talent i kamaʻilio ka honua holoʻokoʻa e pili ana i kona ʻano o nā ʻāpana o Santuzza (Hoʻohanohano ʻāina), Carmen, Delilah, Marfa (Khovanshchina).

Ma hope o kāna hana ʻana ma "Boris Godunov" ma ka mākaʻikaʻi ʻana i ka Bolshoi Theatre ma Palisa, ua kapa ʻia ʻo impresario kaulana ʻo Sol Yurok, ka mea i hana pū me FI Chaliapin, he mea mele keu. ʻO ka hoʻohewa ʻana o nā ʻāina ʻē iā ia kekahi o nā "leo nui o ka Bolshoi". I ka makahiki 1980, ua loaʻa i ka mea mele ka makana Golden Verdi mai ke kūlanakauhale Italia o Busseto no ka hana koʻikoʻi o ka mele a ka mea haku mele nui.

Ua hānau ʻia ʻo Elena Vasilievna Obraztsova ma Iulai 7, 1939 ma Leningrad. ʻO kona makuakāne, he ʻenekinia ma ka ʻoihana, he leo baritone maikaʻi loa, ʻo ia hoʻi, hoʻokani maikaʻi ʻo ia i ka violin. Hoʻokani pinepine ʻia ke mele ma ka hale o Obraztsovs. Ua hoʻomaka ʻo Lena e hīmeni i ke kakahiaka nui, ma ke kula kindergarten. A laila ua lilo ʻo ia i mea hoʻokani mele o ka hale mele o ka Hale Aliʻi o nā Paionia a me nā keiki kula. Ma laila, ua hana ke kaikamahine me ka leʻaleʻa i nā mele gypsy a me nā mele kaulana loa i kēlā mau makahiki mai ka repertoire o Lolita Torres. I ka wā mua, ua ʻike ʻia ʻo ia e kahi māmā, mobile coloratura soprano, i hoʻololi ʻia i contralto.

Ma hope o kona puka 'ana mai ke kula ma Taganrog, kahi i hana ai kona makua kāne ia manawa, ua komo 'o Lena i ka Rostov Electrotechnical Institute ma ke koi a kona mau makua. Akā, ma hope o ke aʻo ʻana no hoʻokahi makahiki, hele ke kaikamahine i kona pilikia ponoʻī iā Leningrad, e komo i ka conservatory a hoʻokō i kāna pahuhopu.

Ua hoʻomaka nā papa me Professor Antonina Andreevna Grigorieva. "He noʻonoʻo loa ʻo ia, pololei ma ke ʻano he kanaka a he mea hoʻokani pila," wahi a Obraztsova. - Ua makemake wau e hana wikiwiki i nā mea āpau, e hīmeni i nā arias nui i ka manawa hoʻokahi, nā romances paʻakikī. A ua hoʻomau mau ʻo ia ʻaʻohe mea e hiki mai me ka ʻole o ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i nā "kumu" o nā leo ... A hīmeni wau i nā hoʻomaʻamaʻa ma hope o nā hoʻomaʻamaʻa, a i kekahi manawa wale nō - nā mele liʻiliʻi. A laila ua hiki i ka manawa no nā mea nui. ʻAʻole i aʻoʻo Antonina Andreevna,ʻaʻole i aʻo, akā ua ho'āʻo mau e hōʻoia i koʻu manaʻo i ka hana e hanaʻia nei. Ua hauʻoli wau i kaʻu mau lanakila mua ma Helsinki a me ka hoʻokūkū Glinka ʻaʻole i emi iho ma mua oʻu iho ... ”.

I ka makahiki 1962, ma Helsinki, ua loa'a 'o Elena i kāna makana mua, he mekala gula a me ke po'o inoa o ka laureate, a i ka makahiki ho'okahi ua lanakila 'o ia ma Moscow ma ka II All-Union Vocal Competition i kapa 'ia ma muli o MI Glinka. ʻO ka soloist o ka Bolshoi Theatre PG Lisitsian a me ke poʻo o ka hui opera TL Chernyakov, nāna i kono iā Obraztsova e hoʻolohe i ka hale kiʻiʻoniʻoni.

No laila, i Dekemaba 1963, ʻoiai he haumāna, ua hoʻomaka ʻo Obraztsova i kāna hana mua ma ke kahua o ka Bolshoi Theatre ma ke kuleana o Marina Mnishek (Boris Godunov). Hoʻomanaʻo ka mea mele i kēia hanana me ka manaʻo: "Ua hele au ma ke kahua o ka Bolshoi Theatre me ka ʻole o kahi hoʻomaʻamaʻa orchestral. Ke hoʻomanaʻo nei au i koʻu kū ʻana ma hope o ke kahua a ʻōlelo wau iaʻu iho: "Hiki iā Boris Godunov ke hele me ke kahua ʻole ma ka pūnāwai, ʻaʻole wau e hele i waho no kekahi mea, e pani ka pale, ʻaʻole wau e hele i waho." Ua maule loa au, a inā ʻaʻole na keonimana i alakaʻi iaʻu i ke kahua me nā lima, ʻaʻole paha he hiʻohiʻona ma ka pūnāwai ia ahiahi. ʻAʻohe oʻu manaʻo o kaʻu hana mua - hoʻokahi wale nō hauʻoli, kekahi ʻano o ka ramp fireball, a ʻo nā mea ʻē aʻe i loko o ka swoon. Akā ma lalo o koʻu manaʻo ua manaʻo wau e hīmeni pololei ana. Ua hoʻokipa maikaʻi ka poʻe iaʻu… "

Ma hope mai, ua kākau nā mea loiloi Parisian e pili ana iā Obraztsova ma ke kuleana o Marina Mnishek: "Ua hoʻokipa ka poʻe ... me ka hauʻoli iā Elena Obraztsova, nona ka ʻikepili leo maikaʻi a me waho no kahi Marina kūpono. ʻO Obraztsova kahi mea hoʻokani leʻaleʻa, nona ka leo, ke ʻano, ke kahua a me ka nani e mahalo ʻia e ka lehulehu ... "

Ma hope o kona puka 'ana mai ka Leningrad Conservatory i ka makahiki 1964, ua lilo koke'o Obraztsova i mea ho'okani pila no ka Hale Keaka Bolshoi. Lele koke ʻo ia i Iapana me kahi hui o nā mea pena, a laila hoʻokani ʻo ia ma Italia me ka hui o ka Bolshoi Theatre. Ma ke kahua o La Scala, hana ka mea pena kiʻi i nā ʻāpana o ka Governess (Tchaikovsky's The Queen of Spades) a me ke Kamāliʻiwahine Marya (Prokofiev's War and Peace).

Ua kākau ʻo M. Zhirmunsky:

"Aia mau ka moʻolelo e pili ana i kona lanakila ma ke kahua o La Scala, ʻoiai ʻo kēia hanana he 20 mau makahiki. ʻO kāna hana mua ma ka Metropolitan Opera i kapa ʻia ʻo "ka hoʻomaka nui loa i ka mōʻaukala o ka hale keaka" ma ka lōʻihi o ke kū ʻana. I ka manawa like, ua komo ʻo Obraztsova i ka hui o nā mele mele Karayan, hiki i ka ʻike kiʻekiʻe loa o nā ʻano ʻoihana. I loko o nā lā ʻekolu o ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana iā Il trovatore, ua hoʻopio ʻo ia i ke alakaʻi alakaʻi nui me kona ʻano ʻike ʻole ʻia o ka naʻau, kona hiki ke unuhi i ka hopena manaʻo nui loa mai ke mele, a me ka nui o nā lole nani i loaʻa mai nā hoaaloha ʻAmelika no kahi hālāwai me. ka maestro. Ua hoʻololi ʻo ia i nā lole ʻekolu manawa i ka lā, ua loaʻa iā ia nā roses, nā kono e hīmeni ma Salzburg a hoʻopaʻa i ʻelima mau opera. Akā ʻo ka luhi hopohopo ma hope o ka kūleʻa ma La Scala i kāohi iā ia mai ka hele ʻana e ʻike iā Karajan no kahi hana - ʻaʻole i loaʻa iā ia kahi leka hoʻomaopopo mai ka hui Soviet kuleana, ua hōʻeha ʻia ʻo ia e Obraztsova a me nā Lūkini āpau.

Manaʻo ʻo ia i ka hāʻule ʻana o kēia mau hoʻolālā ʻo ia ka mea nui o kāna ʻoihana ponoʻī. Mai ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa i ukali ʻia i ʻelua makahiki ma hope, ʻo ka hana wale nō i koe ʻo Don Carlos a me nā hoʻomanaʻo o ka haʻalulu o kāna kelepona kelepona, kona mokulele ponoʻī i hoʻopiha ʻia me nā Playboys, a me ka paʻi ʻana o Karajan ma ke poʻo me ka helu ma ka puka o ka hale keaka. I kēlā manawa, ʻo Agnes Baltsa, ka mea nona kekahi o kēlā mau leo ​​kala ʻole i hiki ʻole ke hoʻohuli i ka mea hoʻolohe mai ka ʻike ʻana i nā manaʻo hou loa o ka Haku, ua lilo ʻo ia i mezzo-soprano mau loa o Karajan.

I ka makahiki 1970, ua loaʻa iā Obraztsova nā makana kiʻekiʻe loa ma nā hoʻokūkū honua nui ʻelua: i kapa ʻia ma hope o PI Tchaikovsky ma Moscow a me ka inoa o ka mea mele Spanish kaulana ʻo Francisco Viñas ma Barcelona.

Akā ʻaʻole i pau ka ulu ʻana o Obraztsova. Ke ulu nui nei kāna repertoire. Hana ʻo ia i nā hana like ʻole e like me Frosya ma Prokofiev's opera Semyon Kotko, Azucena in Il trovatore, Carmen, Eboli in Don Carlos, Zhenya Komelkova in Molchanov's opera The Dawns Here Are Quiet.

Ua hana ʻo ia me ka Bolshoi Theatre Company ma Tokyo a me Osaka (1970), Budapest a me Vienna (1971), Milan (1973), New York a me Wakinekona (1975). A ma nā wahi a pau, ʻike mau ka ʻōlelo hoʻohewa i ke akamai kiʻekiʻe o ka mea mele Soviet. Ua kākau kekahi o nā loiloi ma hope o nā hana a ka mea pena kiʻi ma New York: "Aia ʻo Elena Obraztsova ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka ʻike honua. Hiki iā mākou ke moeʻuhane i kēlā mele mele. Loaʻa iā ia nā mea a pau e hoʻokaʻawale ai i kahi mea pena kiʻi o kēia wā o ke kahua opera papa keu. "

Ua kaulana kāna hana ma ka Liceo Theatre ma Barcelona i Dekemaba 1974, kahi i hōʻike ʻia ai ʻehā mau hana o Carmen me nā mea hoʻokani like ʻole o nā hana alakaʻi. Ua lanakila 'o Obraztsova ma luna o ka po'e mele 'Amelika 'o Joy Davidson, Rosalind Elias a me Grace Bumbry.

"Ke hoʻolohe nei i ka mea mele Soviet," i kākau ai ka mea hoʻopaʻapaʻa Sepania, "ua loaʻa hou iā mākou ka manawa e ʻike i ke ʻano o ka multifaceted, emotionally multifaceted, a voluminous role of Carmen is. ʻO kāna mau hoa hana ma kēia pāʻina me ka hoʻomaopopo a me ka hoihoi i hoʻokahi ʻaoʻao o ke ʻano o ka heroine. Ma Exemplary, ua ʻike ʻia ke kiʻi o Carmen i kona paʻakikī a me ka hohonu o ka noʻonoʻo. No laila, hiki iā mākou ke ʻōlelo palekana ʻo ia ka mea hoʻolaha maʻalahi a kūpaʻa o ka manaʻo noʻeau a Bizet.

Ua kākau ʻo M. Zhirmunsky: “Ma Carmen ua hīmeni ʻo ia i kahi mele o ke aloha make, hiki ʻole ke hoʻomanawanui no ke ʻano nāwaliwali o ke kanaka. I ka hopena, e neʻe ana me ka hele māmā ma ke ʻano holoʻokoʻa, ua hoʻolei ʻo kāna heroine iā ia iho i ka pahi i huki ʻia, me ka ʻike ʻana i ka make ʻo ia ka hoʻopakele ʻana mai ka ʻeha o loko, kahi ʻokoʻa ʻole ma waena o nā moeʻuhane a me ka ʻoiaʻiʻo. I koʻu manaʻo, ma kēia kuleana, ua hana ʻo Obraztsova i kahi kipi i mahalo ʻole ʻia i ka hale keaka. ʻO ia kekahi o ka mea mua i hele i kahi hana noʻonoʻo, a i ka makahiki 70 i pua i loko o ke ʻano o ka opera a ka luna. Ma kāna kūlana kūikawā,ʻaʻole i hele mai ka manaʻo o ka hana holoʻokoʻa mai ka luna hoʻokele (ʻo Zeffirelli pono'ī ke alakaʻi), akā mai ka mea mele. ʻO ka talent operatic o Obraztsova ka mea hana keaka, ʻo ia ka mea e paʻa i ka dramaturgy o ka hana ma kona mau lima, e kau ana i kona ʻano ponoʻī ma luna ... "

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Obraztsova iā ia iho: "Ua hānau ʻia koʻu Carmen i Malaki 1972 ma Sepania, ma nā mokupuni ʻo Canary, i loko o kahi hale keaka liʻiliʻi i kapa ʻia ʻo Perez Galdes. Manaʻo wau ʻaʻole wau e hīmeni iā ​​Carmen, me he mea lā ʻaʻole kēia kaʻu ʻāpana. I koʻu hoʻokani mua ʻana ma ia mea, ua ʻike maoli au i kaʻu hana mua. Ua ho'ōki au i koʻu manaʻo me he mea pena, me he mea lā ua neʻe mai ka ʻuhane o Carmen i loko oʻu. A i ka wā i hāʻule ai au mai ka hahau ʻana o ka Navaja Jose, ua minamina au i ka huhū noʻu iho: no ke aha lā wau e make ai, ʻōpio? A laila, me he mea lā he hapalua hiamoe, lohe au i ka leo o ka lehulehu a me ka paʻi. A hoʻihoʻi mai lākou iaʻu i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo.

I ka makahiki 1975, ua ʻike ʻia ka mea mele ma Sepania ʻo ia ka mea hoʻokani maikaʻi loa o ka ʻāpana o Carmen. Ua hoʻokō ʻo Obraztsova i kēia hana ma nā kahua o Prague, Budapest, Belgrade, Marseille, Vienna, Madrid, a me New York.

I ʻOkakopa 1976 ua hoʻomaka ʻo Obraztsova i kāna hana mua ma New York Metropolitan Opera ma Aida. "Ma ka ʻike ʻana i ka mea mele Soviet mai nā hana mua ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, ua manaʻo nui mākou i kāna hana ʻo Amneris," i kākau ai kekahi mea hoʻohewa. "Akā, ua ʻoi aku ka ʻoiaʻiʻo i nā wānana wiwo ʻole o ka Met regulars. He lanakila maoli ia, ʻaʻole i ʻike ʻia e ka ʻAmelika no nā makahiki he nui. Ua hoʻolei ʻo ia i ka poʻe i loko o kahi kūlana o ka hauʻoli a me ka hauʻoli hiki ʻole ke wehewehe ʻia me kāna hana kupaianaha ʻo Amneris. Ua haʻi ʻia kekahi mea hoʻohewa: "ʻO Obraztsova ka mea ʻike maikaʻi loa ma ke kahua opera honua i nā makahiki i hala iho nei."

Ua huakaʻi nui ʻo Obraztsova i nā ʻāina ʻē i ka wā e hiki mai ana. I ka makahiki 1977, hīmeni ʻo ia i ke Kamāliʻiwahine o Bouillon ma F. Cilea's Adriana Lecouvreur (San Francisco) a me Ulrika ma Ball in Masquerade (La Scala); ma 1980 - Jocasta ma "Oedipus Rex" na IF Stravinsky ("La Scala"); ma 1982 - Jane Seymour ma "Anna Boleyn" na G. Donizetti ("La Scala") a me Eboli ma "Don Carlos" (Barcelona). I ka makahiki 1985, ma ka ʻahaʻaina ʻo Arena di Verona, ua lanakila ka mea pena i ka ʻāpana o Amneris (Aida).

I ka makahiki aʻe, ua hana ʻo Obraztsova ma ke ʻano he alakaʻi opera, e hoʻokani ana i ka opera Werther a Massenet ma ka Bolshoi Theatre, kahi i hoʻokō pono ai ʻo ia i ka hapa nui. ʻO kāna kāne ʻelua, ʻo A. Zhuraitis, ke alakaʻi.

Ua hoʻokō maikaʻi ʻo Obraztsova ʻaʻole wale ma nā hana opera. Me kahi repertoire ʻaha mele nui, ua hāʻawi ʻo ia i nā ʻahamele ma La Scala, ka Pleyel Concert Hall (Paris), New York's Carnegie Hall, London's Wigmore Hall, a me nā wahi ʻē aʻe he nui. ʻO kāna mau papahana ʻaha mele kaulana ʻo Rūsia, ʻo ia hoʻi nā pōʻaiapuni o nā mele na Glinka, Dargomyzhsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, nā mele a me nā pōʻai leo na Mussorgsky, Sviridov, he pōʻai o nā mele na Prokofiev i nā mele a A. Akhmatova. ʻO ka papahana o nā papa mele haole e pili ana i ka pōʻai a R. Schuman "Love and Life of a Woman", nā hana o nā mele Italia, Kelemānia, Palani.

ʻIke ʻia ʻo Obraztsova he kumu. Mai ka makahiki 1984, he polopeka 'o ia ma ka Moscow Conservatory. Ma 1999, ua alakaʻi ʻo Elena Vasilievna i ka First International Competition of Vocalists i kapa ʻia ma muli o Elena Obraztsova ma St. Petersburg.

I ka makahiki 2000, ua hoʻomaka ʻo Obraztsova i kāna hana mua ma ke kahua hoʻokani: hoʻokani ʻo ia i ka hana nui ma ka pāʻani "Antonio von Elba", i hoʻokani ʻia e R. Viktyuk.

Ke hoʻomau nei ʻo Obraztsova i ka hoʻokani maikaʻi ʻana ma ke ʻano he mele opera. I ka Mei 2002, hīmeni ʻo ia ma ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike ʻo Washington Kennedy kaulana me Placido Domingo ma ka opera a Tchaikovsky ʻo The Queen of Spades.

"Ua kono ʻia au e hīmeni ma The Queen of Spades," wahi a Obraztsova. – Eia kekahi, e mālama ʻia kaʻu ʻahamele nui ma Mei 26 ... Ua hana pū mākou no 38 mau makahiki (me Domingo. – Approx. Aut.). Ua hīmeni pū mākou ma "Carmen", a ma "Il trovatore", a ma "Ball in masquerade", a ma "Samson and Delila", a ma "Aida". A ʻo ka manawa hope a lākou i hana ai i ka hāʻule hope ma Los Angeles. E like me kēia manawa, ʻo ia ka Mōʻīwahine o Spades.

Ua make ʻo PS Elena Vasilievna Obraztsova ma Ianuali 12, 2015.
