Description
[Item Description]
Nadezhda Vasilievna Plevitskaya (Russian: ??????? ?????????? ?????????; born Vinnikova, Russian: ?????????; 17 January 1884 – 1 October 1940) was the most popular female Russian singer of the White emigre era.
Plevitskaya possessed a rare musicality, lush and flexible, and a mezzo-soprano of wide range. Her repertoire included, alongside popular ditties of mediocre quality, superb examples of Russian peasant folksong from Kursk province as well as songs of city life that are still meaningful today. Her manner of performance showed great sincerity, rich intonation, expressive declamation, and an unusually subtle and deep feeling for the beauty of Russian speech.
