Elena Kamburova

Elena Antonovna Kamburova, a distinctive singer with a wide vocal range and excellent musical taste, was born a year before the Great Patriotic War in Siberia. Her father, Anton Semenovich Kamburov, a Crimean Greek by birth, worked as an engineer, and her mother, Lydia Markovna Zakharova, was a pediatrician. The family also raised Elena's brother, Vladimir, who followed in his father's footsteps.

Елена Антоновна в детстве не интересовалась своей родословной, но в дальнейшем она узнала много интересного о своём генеалогическом древе. Некоторые из её предков были священниками, которых с приходом советской власти подвергли репрессиям. Кто-то работал учителем, кто-то писарем. Родители Леночки очень любили музыку: мать пела красивым низким тембром, а отец подыгрывал ей на гитаре. Сама девочка в детстве не пела и не выступала, но в мечтах она всегда грезила о том, что когда-нибудь станет драматической актрисой.

Школу Елена закончила на Украине, куда переехали Камбуровы вскоре после окончания войны. Когда были сданы последние экзамены, она подала свои документы в институт промышленности города Киева. Там Елена проучилась два года. Она была слишком стеснительна и не решилась сразу на поступление в театральный институт. Но мечта звала за собой, и в 1959 году девушка едет покорять столицу.

Несмотря на то, что на вступительных в Щукинское училище Елену отметили такие мэтры советской сцены, как Цецилия Мансурова и Борис Захава, её не взяли на курс по причине невероятной самобытности. Немного подумав, упрямая абитуриентка остаётся в Москве, но для того, чтобы выжить, она устраивается работать маляром.

A year later, Elena Kamburova entered the circus school of the city of Moscow on the course of the pop artist to the master S.A.Kashtelyan. The maestro brought up a whole galaxy of pop artists who were famous in the 60s in the Soviet Union. Later, Elena will graduate from GITIS in the same specialty. It was her first teacher who directed Kamburova along the path of pop singing, giving her a collection of works by Matveyeva, which, along with the songs of Bulat Okudzhava, became the hallmark of the young singer.

Already in her early years, Elena became a popular youth singer. She gained this fame by participating in the oral journals of that time. Many hours of speeches, which took place at universities or libraries, brought together speakers who spoke on different topics. In the same years, the talented singer met Mikael Tariverdiev and Larisa of Crete, with whom she then collaborated throughout her life.

In the late 60s, Elena and Larisa prepared a whole cycle of songs, which was released as a separate disc at the Melodiya recording studio. For the first time on television, the young singer appeared in 1970 in the autobiographical television movie "Monologue".

The 70s were marked by the real flourishing of Elena Kamburova's creativity. She revealed herself as a versatile, passionate person. In the repertoire of Kamburova, romances by the composer Vladimir Dashkevich appear on the verses of the Russian authors of the early 20th century: A. Blok, V. Mayakovsky, M. Tsvetaeva. The composer and singer have recorded two suites on verses by A. Akhmatova and O. Mandelstam. 

These works will acquire a new sound with the beginning of the era of glasnost, when it will be possible to speak openly about repressions and executions. More than once in the early 90s the suites will be performed from the stage of the concert hall of the Moscow Conservatory.

The singer also discovers the poems of foreign authors such as J. Brel, Barbara, L. Ferret, medieval French poetry. They formed the basis of her musical cycle "You see, I remember ...". For the first time, a singer arranges her performance in the form of a song performance. Elena Antonovna takes on the performance of the classics: romances and songs by F. Schubert, P. Tchaikovsky, M. Mussorgsky. 

These academic works sounded in a new way in her performance. With her unbiased vision, the artist destroyed the formed stereotypes regarding the perception of the works of Russian classics - the cycles "In the nursery" and "Songs and dances of death".

During the years of the weakening of the Soviet regime, Elena Kamburova performed abroad, where the public received her with delight. The singer has toured Europe with her programs, visited North America and Israel. 

The artist's constant companions on her musical travels have always been the pianist Oleg Sinkin, who became her faithful accompanist, and the guitarist Vyacheslav Golikov. Both musicians graduated from the Moscow Conservatory in their time, they are laureates of international music competitions.

A special line in the biography of the singer is cinematography. Elena Kamburova has a long-standing and close relationship with him. In addition to the fact that she starred in several films, such as "Theater of an unknown actor", "Remembrance", "Clown", "My dearly beloved detective story", Elena Antonovna has voiced over 100 films of various genres.

The vocal range allowed the artist to sing with the voices of children, magic or funny characters. It can be heard in the musical accompaniment to the films "Passenger from the Equator", "Slave of Love", "Dulcinea Toboska", "Promised Heaven", "The Adventures of Electronics", "Once Twenty Years Later", "My dearly beloved detective."

The audience especially remembered her work in the adventure film “Midshipmen, forward!”. Director Svetlana Druzhinina managed to assemble a unique singing team. Dmitry Kharatyan sang for himself and for Sergei Zhigunov. Mikhail Boyarsky sang a passionate song about love for the Russian princess. The beautiful Elena Kamburova, together with Oleg Anofriev, sounded in the composition "Separation", she also sounded all the songs for the heroine Tatyana Lyutaeva.

Kamburova's voice seemed to become the most popular on television. The releases of "Yeralash" could not do without it, and even a song from the beloved by all children "Good night, kids" to the melody of Mozart was sung by a popular performer.

The 90s made their own adjustments to the creative life of the country. There are practically no government orders, the actors are out of work. But such an environment only spurred a talented personality and pushed Elena Antonovna to create her own Theater of Music and Poetry. 

25 years later, this theater not only did not disappear into oblivion, but also became one of the standard chamber scenes in Moscow. The Kamburova Theater gave a start to many talented Russian chansonniers, such as the singer and composer Ulyana Angelevskaya, who has worked in the collective for over 10 years.

The first season of the theater opened with the play "Play of Dreams", in which the singer performed in a new role for herself - the lyrical hero Pierrot. In addition to contemporary poetry, the troupe staged a large number of Greek tragedies. So in the play "Antigone" Elena Antonovna played all the roles of a tragedy, which became a new experience for her. 

The theater has more than 30 performances. Among them, the most famous are: "Drops of the Danish King", "Sophocles. Antigone "," In her own unusual manner "," I dreamed of a garden ... "," Dreams of the poet Levitansky "," Here, for the hundredth time, Russia "," Victory. Requiem".

In 2015, the theater staff for the work "Silence behind the Rogozhskaya Zastava" was awarded the "Crystal Turandot" award in the nomination for the best musical design of the play. 

The last significant project of Elena Kamburova was her joint program with Nikita Vysotsky, "The Road Across Destiny", which is dedicated to the life and work of Vladimir Vysotsky. From the stage, the artists presented to the public an unknown songwriter, his letters, poems, music.
