Lesya Verba. Album-songbook "History of Nedes songs"

"Stories of Nedes songs" Presentation of Lesya Verba's album-songbook Lesja Verba's songbook is a real example of the synthesis of arts - fifteen songs with texts in several languages, scores, author's illustrations and stories of their birth. Many of these stories have become a revelation even for connoisseurs of music and Odessa. For example, the story about the origin of the music for the song “Forgive-Goodbye, Odessa-Mama”, which was based on a fragment of an American musical, and its author is the African-Canadian Shelton Brooks, who is considered one of the founders of jazz. A CD with the songs included in the collection performed by the author is an integral part of the collection. It is on the symbiosis of arts in the work of Lesya Verba that Yevgeny Golubovsky emphasized, who characterized the album: “There is such a concept - a synthesis of arts. Scriabin wrote musical scores, indicating the color he sees when performing music. Odessa artist Oleg Sokolov painted "Chopin's Music", "Rachmaninoff's Preludes" ... And Lesya Verba, an artist, composer, singer, tried to combine her talents in this project. And it worked!
