In 1925 Isabella Jurjewa married the lawyer Josif Arkadjewitsch Epstein (died 1971), who became her permanent manager under the artist pseudonym Josif Arkadjew. Her husband also wrote the lyrics of her hits "Liebevoller Blick", "Spring song", "The first ball", "Your letter", "If you remember when you love", "If you can, forgive", "Friendship" and others. In 1929 she attended an evening of gypsy romances in the hypostyle hall in Moscow . Because of her own performance of gypsy songs, Jurjewa began to be called "white gypsy". Simon Kagan and David Ashkenazi were the singer's permanent concertmasters.

The singer's phonographic debut took place in 1937, nearly 15 years after her first appearance. During the years of the Great Patriotic War , she took part in concerts on the Karelian Front and Kalinin Front .
