Life and artistic career

Bayanova was born as the daughter of the opera singer Nikolai Levizki (1892-1951), who performed under the stage name Nikolai Bajanow, and a ballet dancer. When Bessarabia became a province of Romania , her family moved to Paris in 1918 . At the age of nine, when she assisted her father in 1923, she stood there for the first time on stage. In 1927 she performed alone. A big step forward for her was the collaboration with Alexander Nikolajewitsch Wertinsky in his show in the Hermitage Restaurant in Montmartre . Two years later, her family moved to Belgrade while Bayanova toured Germany, Greece, Palestine and Egypt. In 1931 she met the Russian singer Pyotr Leschtschenko , who helped her to become known in Bucharest . Here she married George Ypsilanti and made several recordings. After her divorce from Ypsilanti, she was signed by the Polish record company "Syrena-Electro".

In March 1941 she was arrested in Romania for singing in Russian. She was sent to a concentration camp, from which she was released in May 1942. Nevertheless, she was still monitored until the end of the war. She continued to live in Romania in the 1960s and 1970s and released eight LPs. In 1988 she was forced to emigrate to the Soviet Union . She moved to Moscow and occasionally appeared on Russian television.

Bayanova was awarded the title of People's Artist of Russia and celebrated her 80th stage anniversary in 2003. The following year she gave a concert on the occasion of her 90th birthday. Her last work was a collaboration with Marc Almond , with whom she sang several duets. She died of leukemia in a Moscow hospice in August 2011 .
