About the origin of performing style of Lidia Ruslanova:the objective and subjective factors
The article is devoted to the problem of the folk singers' performing style genesis. This problem is up-to-date and currently it is not properly studied at present. The novelty of the idea lies in the disclosure of the causes and consequences of the emergence of the creative personality of Lidia Ruslanova, who became an iconic figure of Russian musical culture of the XX century. Turning to the life and creative path of the honored artist of Russia, the author draws attention to the objective and subjective factors that influenced the genesis of the singer's performing style. The author traces the genesis of the singer's performing style, the influence of the interacting objective and subjective circumstances of her life. The objective circumstances can be attributed as: a) historical factor associated with the vicissitudes of the era, the history of the country, influenced the fate of Ruslanova; b) various social factors (the origin of the singer, environment and habitat, education and professional status). Subjective circumstances are related to the individual and personal characteristics of the singer's creative appearance (phenomenal musical talent, excellent vocal data, natural artistry, ability to complete artistic perception of the world picture). Attraction of extensive factual material and in-depth analysis lead to convincing conclusions: the cantatory art of the singer goes back to the origins of peasant and urban traditions; Her style is distinguished by artistry, the depth of thought, feelings and emotions, a positive willful message and the capacity for a holistic perception and artistic embodiment of the notion of a picture of the world. The results of the work can be applied in art history, culturology, teaching methods of folk-singing disciplines.
