May 30 at Large
hall of the Moscow Conservatory the concert “Mozart gala” will be unique
Russian singer Julia Lezhneva. This program will open a new project of the Foundation Elena
Model — “Golden voices of competitions Elena Obraztsova” (Lezhneva at the time, won
Grand Prix international “obraztsovo” competition among young singers and among
adult singers).

Figure Lezhneva in vocal
the world is completely alone. The voice of this young singer hails from the distant
Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk musicologists compared with
sound of angels or crystal bell. And Julia had already established itself
in 18 years, and at this age boys and girls only think about the profession
academic singers. In interview “news” the city admitted that the adult
the voice received in 11 years: “I Think I caught a cold and after a week I realized that
to sing in the choir where I used to, I’m uncomfortable. Then we with the girlfriend
started to fool around, to emulate Opera singing. So I opened it. Mom,
after hearing me, were shocked and immediately took to a vocal coach…”

Unusual and that
Julia has gained world-wide fame, practically speaking in operatic performances! It
you can hear almost exclusively in the old Messiah or recital programmes with
the same music. Lezhneva from the very beginning focused not on the popular
Russian Opera masterpieces of Tchaikovsky and Verdi and the works of earlier
era – Baroque and classical music (Handel, Bach, Pergolesi, Rossini).

That’s why she chose the vocal faculty of the Moscow
Conservatory, study English in Cardiff, because in the West the interest in music 18
century much more than in Russia, accordingly more and teachers: “I
childhood felt that Baroque and classical music is my thing.
It evokes emotions in me, stronger than which there is probably nothing in the life of Russian…
vocal school, with its installation on a smooth and connected singing to “large
voices”, live and thrive. But I can’t call the Russian singer,
after all opened up and ready I was in school in English Cardiff. In College
at the Moscow Conservatory, I was given an excellent education, but then I
wanted to leave, and I think rightly so. Feel harmoniously…”

Here and in the program
which will be performed by the city on may 30, will feature music of the 18th century: Symphony No. 35 in d
major “Haffner”, sacred music, Opera and concert arias. Together with Julia these
masterpieces will be performed by vocal ensemble “Intrada” under the direction of Catherine
Antonenko, the State chamber orchestra of Russia under the leadership of Alexey
Utkin. And conductor of the concert Mikhail Antonenko – this famous Russian
pianist and conductor Lezhneva is from 2007.

By the way, in Moscow
Julia stands infrequently, because on the leading stages of the world she literally snapped. When
this city does not go on about the impresario — she’s saving your unique
voice and so very carefully selected invitations. Some young
singers wishing to achieve fame and started too intensively to exploit their voice, literally
some of his lost. For her Lezhneva soprano is a real treasure and she
give it a rest. So, after a two-week tour (and it’s not just themselves
concerts, and moving from city to city, meeting rooms with different acoustics, new
partners), it always gives the voice “vacation” for a couple of weeks.
