Biography
The father of Zoya Rozhdestvenskaya, respected by all, was an opera soloist named Nikolai. In her youth, she was already able to graduate from the conservatory in St. Petersburg. If we talk about the basis of her work, then basically it is the so-called chamber repertoire. One fine day Zoya heard a waltz on the gramophone with an interesting and incredibly beautiful name "To the Sound of Guitar". The young beauty decided to sing her first composition to him, and in a genre that was rather unusual for herself, which was more related to the pop style.
It was during the war years that people began to listen to Rozhdestvenskaya most of all. She also became a soloist of the Dunaevsky ensemble, which was formed for various performances in front of the participants in the hostilities. As soon as the war ended, Rozhdestvenskaya decided to act as a soloist of the so-called jazz orchestra, and on the Leningrad radio itself. Nikolay Grigorievich Minkh managed this activity. After that, the compositions performed by her even sounded on the radio almost every day. Songs of Zoya Rozhdestvenskaya herself became especially popular on gramophone records.
One fine day, together with Flux, the young singer was awarded the role of a representative of popular pop performers from the entire Soviet Union. The concert, at which Zoya Rozhdestvenskaya so desired to perform, was hosted by the queen of magnificent jazz vocals herself, named Ella Fitzgerald.
A resident of America, in fact, was able to appreciate the wonderful talent of the wonderful performer, as well as the incredible skill of the accompanists, according to the highest dignity. Previously, about 140 real phonograms of Zoya Rozhdestvenskaya's songs were stored on the Leningrad Radio, however, after a short amount of time, there were not even a few dozen tapes left. Currently, the archives contain only twenty-five compositions.
The most famous are the following songs: "My native side", "At the skating rink", "To us in Saratov", "The lacemaker and the blacksmith", as well as "Above the Bay". If we talk about the singing of the amazing Zoe, then it is filled with unusual optimism and even faith in a bright future. Rozhdestvenskaya performed all her works in a special manner, peculiar only to her.
Personal life of the performer
If we talk about the personal life of Zoya Rozhdestvenskaya herself, then she really did not ask herself from the very beginning. At a young age, she married several times. Her first husband was a great and incredibly talented artist. He absolutely did not want his wife to become pregnant. The artist believed that children would only hinder his development and career.
And she had to take action. But later it turned out that Rozhdestvenskaya could not have children. Unfortunately, even in adulthood, she could not calmly take this event and perceived it as a disaster. The second husband of Zoya Rozhdestvenskaya was Nikolai Matveyevich Pchelkin. He worked at the airport as a mechanic. The only problem that bothered Zoya was their age difference. The man lived a little more than his beloved wife.
Personal life was complicated by the fact that Zoya Rozhdestvenskaya was constantly and a lot sick. One day she returned from a rather tiring touring trip and could not recover. But many still admire her unimaginable love for life and firmness of spirit, as well as amazing creativity, capable of awakening only the brightest feelings in a person.
