Изабелла Юрьева

Russian contralto vocalist. Izabella Yurieva is the stage name of Izabella Danilovna Livikova (7 September 1899 – 20 January 2000). Russian singer nicknamed "Queen of Russian Romance". She was one of the top performers of the romantic Russian Gypsy songs in the late 1920s and 1930s before the genre became almost taboo in Soviet Russia. Yurieva was largely forgotten until the 1990s when she resurfaced on television and was named a People's Artist of Russia in 1992. She celebrated her centennial during a tribute concert at the Central Concert Hall in Moscow in 1999.
