White gypsy. Fairy tale come true. 6+

On the occasion of the 135th birthday of the famous Russian singer Nina Dulkevich.

The performer of ancient Russian and gypsy romances, Nina Dulkevich (1891–1934, in the childhood of Baburin) lived a short but very bright life. She became a singer “by accident”: to feed her family, Nina, at the age of 15, was hired as a maid to the head of the gypsy choir known at that time, Nikolai Dulkevich. Once he accidentally heard how, while serving dinner, Ninochka was humming something to herself. Nikolai Dmitrievich liked the strong, sonorous, floody voice of the maid, and he, without thinking twice, invited her to become a soloist of his collective. Two years later, Nikolai Dulkevich proposed to her. Nina Dulkevich soon began performing with solo programs throughout Russia and quickly gained popularity. Among her fans were Alexander Kuprin and Leonid Andreev.

The purity of phrasing, temperament combined with sincerity, sincereness, expressive piano distinguish her performance of songs and romances. Her chesty, low voice conveyed "the poetry of wild will, a dark night by a blazing bonfire, dashing distance and quiet sadness." The concert program included the most vivid and sincere works from the repertoire of Nina Dulkevich.
