The phenomenon of Russian bel canto in M. I. Glinka’s operas
Abstract
The article is dedicated to the influence of the Italian art of bel canto on the vocal melodics by M. I. Glinka. Examples from the operas «A Life for the Tsar» and «Ruslan and Lyudmila» are used to show the combination of Italian bel canto techniques with Russian song intonations. Due to this stylistic synthesis, a unique phenomenon of Russian bel canto emerged, signs of which have been preserved in Russian music for a long time.
