Varvarov biography. Varvara (singer), husband. present: “folklore” Varvara

Russia

Varvara(real name Elena Vladimirovna Susova, maiden name - Tutanova); was born July 30 ( 19730730 ) year in Balashikha) - Russian singer. Honored Artist of Russia (2010). She graduated from Balashikha School No. 3, Gnessin School and GITIS. She performed as part of the troupe of the State Theater of Variety Performances. The performer released her first solo album, which was called “Varvara,” in 2001 (label NOX Music). The performer also released the albums “Closer” (2003) and “Dreams” (2005).

Creative path

Varvara graduated from Gnesinka, where her teacher was Matvey Osherovsky, director of the acclaimed production of The Threepenny Opera in Odessa. The eccentric genius repeatedly kicked out the artist, called her “Verst Kolomenskaya” and even threw shoes at her. However, Varvara did not go to the operetta through no fault of his - she simply wanted a “free flight”, without directors and producers. Later, while working at the Lev Leshchenko Variety Theater, she graduated from GITIS in absentia with a degree in musical theater artist. After leaving the theater, Varvara began her solo career.

From July 1991 to the present, Varvara has been working as a soloist-vocalist of the Federal State Cultural Institution "State Theater of Variety Performances "Musical Agency". At the same time with this position, she serves as artistic director and general director of her own production Art Center "Varvara". Varvara performs songs and musical compositions that are often heard on the radio, and her musical numbers can be seen in television programs of the central channels of Russia.

In 2001, the NOX Music company released the artist’s debut album, which was called “Varvara”. Work on this record continued throughout 2000. Most of the songs were written by unknown young authors, and only the name of Kim Breitburg - the main songwriter of Boris Moiseev - spoke something to the listeners. Young multi-instrumentalists took part in the recording of the album, united in one group named after Varvara.

It was then that for the first time the DJs of the leading radio stations began to think: what style should this music be classified as? There are echoes of all musical cultures - from Russian to Arabic; the sounds of live instruments are combined here with electronic samples, tragic compositions invariably coexist with dance songs, and at the same time poetry comes to the fore! The songs of the debut album, despite all their format, were not popular with listeners, but the title song “Varvara”, “Butterfly”, “On the Edge” and “Fly to the Light” were played on the radio. But the fact that in Nicole Claro’s book “Madonna” one of the chapters was called “On the Edge” went unnoticed.

In the summer of 2002, Varvara received an unexpected offer. The founder of the famous Swedish studio Cosmo (it was this company that “made” the last records of the group A-ha and Britney Spears), Norn Bjorn, invited her to record several compositions with the Swedish symphony orchestra. Collaboration with the Swedes resulted in the song “It’s Behind,” designed in the style of fashionable r’n’b. But Varvara decided to continue recording the remaining songs for the future album in Russia. She believes that today Russian sound producers are capable of working at the European level.

The end of 2002 was marked for Varvara by her performance in the finals of “Songs of the Year 2002” with the song “Od-na”, which in the summer-autumn of 2002 was broadcast on almost all the leading radio stations in the country.

Varvara travels in music just as she travels in life. In the United Arab Emirates, where she often comes with her family, she has already been offered to record an album of songs in Arabic. But in addition to the east, Varvara is also attracted by northern Europe, with its harsh sagas and Celtic tales, with the cold music of Enya and the salty smell of the ocean. Perhaps that is why the song “Two Sides of the Moon” from her second album, which was released in 2003, has such Norman notes. “I am in love with Europe of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. When I come to France and wander through the castles of the 16th century, I feel the Norman spirit preserved within these walls. I get the feeling that I lived there: I stroke the walls, and I want to shoot videos there.”

Experimenting with song videos is perhaps Varvara’s main passion. “I always wanted to sing songs and shoot videos in which I could finally show myself as a character actress,” says Varvara.

March 2003 became the month of Varvara - the Ars-Records company released her second album, called “Closer”. Most of the compositions for it were recorded at the Brothers Grimm studio - it was in this company that they managed to find arrangements and sound that were adequate to the singer’s ideas.

In recent years, four solo music albums of the singer have been released with songs that audiences from different countries know and love. Over the past 10 years, many tours, music festivals, and a wide variety of charitable and patronage events have not been possible without Varvara’s active creative participation. The singer repeatedly took part in organizing holiday concerts, she took part in many Russian festivals and represented the musical art of Russia abroad.

In December 2004, he received an honorary diploma from the television festival “Song of the Year 2005” for the song “I flew and sang,” for which a video was shot a month later in Morocco.

In 2005, Varvara became a finalist in the National selection of the International Eurovision Song Contest 2005. In the same year, the singer, having won first place in the Internet voting of the International Club OGAE, received the right to represent Russia at the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Eurovision festival in Denmark.

Since 2006, Varvara has been actively touring European countries and introducing Europeans to the ethnic creativity of Russian musical culture. We are well aware that throughout the years of her creative activity she has been actively and purposefully improving her skills, searching for new creative forms, making sure that the musical material of the works she performs always follows the spirit of modernity, is interesting and accessible to the most diverse segments of the public and is in demand in the music market.

In 2009, Varvara takes part in the Festival of Russian Culture in London and introduces the British to her new program “Dreams”. This program contains the best songs, in the musical arrangements of which you can hear the sound of the Yakut tambourine and the beats of North Caucasian drums and the beautiful sounds of ancient Russian horns. The team under the leadership of Varvara purposefully uses the sound of many folk instruments in their songs, thereby emphasizing the scale of Russian musical culture.

On March 12, People's Artist of Russia Nadezhda Babkina will celebrate her 60th birthday with a big concert. Ethno-pop singer Varvara, who has been friends with Nadezhda Georgievna for many years, will not be able to attend the concert due to her tour, however, she will present the artist with her gift. But later.

Last week, in one of the Moscow studios, Varvara finished recording a joint composition with the Moscow Bagpipe Orchestra. The recorded song is a cover version of a truly popular hit in our country (its name is kept secret until the premiere). Known for her musical experiments, Varvara decided to combine traditional Russian text and folk melodies with the sound of real bagpipes. “Many people are sure that the bagpipe is a purely Scottish instrument,” says Varvara. - In fact, it came to Europe from the East. According to one of the existing versions, the instrument came to Scotland thanks to our neighbors the Vikings and the Varangians, who were very close to Rus'. Therefore, such a combination of musical styles seems to me historically justified. I want to present and dedicate the premiere of this song and a specially prepared number to Nadezhda Babkina during her next project, which will take place immediately after the singer’s anniversary. I am grateful to her for the moral support she provides to my creative experiments in combining traditional and modern styles. I really hope that she will like the new creation as much as she liked my song “Letala, Yes Sang” at one time.

Varvara met the Moscow and Region Bagpipe Orchestra during a tour in England. The artist immediately caught fire with the idea of ​​cooperation, and the recorded composition is only the first fruit of it. The approach is no longer a cover, but an original song by Varvara in the Scottish style, for which the singer is now looking for suitable lyrics.

Work on the album continued throughout 2000. The song “Butterfly” becomes the main single from the record. Work on the second album began in July at the Brothers Grimm studio. The song “Heart, don’t cry” was recorded; the video and song were aired in September.

In the winter of 2002, Varvara received an offer from the founder of the Swedish studio “Cosmo” Norn Bjorn to record several compositions with the Swedish symphony orchestra. The first song recorded in collaboration with the Swedes was the song “It’s Behind,” in the style of modern r’n’b. Varvara decided to continue recording the remaining songs for the future album in Russia. And already in February, the song “I’m Alive” started airing on “Our Radio”. In June, the radio stations premiered the song “One-on,” the video for which was shot based on the Ray Bradbury story “All Summer in One Day.” At the end of 2002, Varvara performed with this song in the finals of the Song of the Year festival.

Work on the new album began in 2003 with the song “Dreams,” which marked the beginning of a new, ethnic direction in the singer’s music. In September, a video was shot for this composition on the island of Valaam, which became a romantic saga about a foreign girl. In December, Varvara presented the composition at the Song of the Year festival.

Childhood period

Lena did not like school; she was attracted to the dance club and physical education classes at the general education institution. Her parents forced her to do her homework and improve her knowledge. And her fate was determined by the old accordion that her grandfather gave her. She was enrolled in a music school to develop her musical abilities.

Family

The singer lives in a happy family; she has four children. At a young age she already got married, but the marriage was unsuccessful. The second marriage with businessman Mikhail Susov, on the contrary, is very successful. Mikhail turned out to be the man of her dreams and became her support in life and in her work.

Creation

First, Varvara graduated from music school. The next step was to study at the Gnesin School, where she was taught by Matvey Osherovsky, who is the director of the famous production in Odessa - “The Threepenny Opera”. Osherovsky was a rather eccentric person: he threw shoes at her and kicked the artist out more than once. Although Elena did not get into operetta of her own free will - she wanted to create without directors and producers, she wanted freedom. Later, when she worked at the Leshchenko Variety Theater, she graduated from GITIS with a degree in musical theater artist (in absentia). And when she left the theater, she began a solo career.

From the summer of 1991 to the present day, Varvara has been working in the state theater, she is a soloist and vocalist. In addition, she is the artistic director and general director of her production center, which is called the Varvara Art Center.

After a year of work, in 2001, Elena, together with the company “NOX Music”, released her debut album, which was called “Varvara”.

Although the songs from the album were “in format”, they still did not enjoy success among listeners. Only a few songs from the album were played on the radio: “Varvara”, “On the Edge”, “Butterfly”, “Fly to the Light”.

In 2002, the singer received an unexpected offer. Norm Bjorn, who is the founder of the famous Swedish studio, invited Varvara to record several compositions together with the Swedish Symphony Orchestra. This collaboration ended with the release of the song “It’s Behind”, the style of the composition was then fashionable r’n’b. The singer decides to record the remaining songs for the second album in Russia.

According to Varvara, her main passion is music videos. She says that she always dreamed of singing and filming videos for these songs, because in them she would be able to show herself as a real actress.

In March 2003, Varvara’s second album, entitled “Closer,” was released; this record was released by the Ars-Records company. The recording of the songs was carried out at the Brothers Grimm studio - the arrangements and sound of this studio were most suitable for the singer’s ideas.

If we talk about the last four years, Varvara has released four solo albums. The records contain compositions that are known to audiences from different countries. Over the past ten years, various music festivals, tours, and charity concerts have invited the singer to participate in events many times. Many times Varvara organized holiday concerts and even represented Russian musical art abroad.

In 2005, Varvara became a finalist at the National Selection of the International Eurovision Song Contest. At the same time, she won first place in the voting for the right to represent Russia at the celebration of the anniversary Eurovision in Denmark, which was to be held for the 50th time. Voting was carried out on the Internet by the International Club OGAE.
