Abstract

The purpose of the article is devoted to the peculiarities of creative interpretation of musical works in vocal performance, namely the consideration of a number of professional and personal characteristics of singers, as well as three interrelated stages of the process of creative interpretation. The methodology of the study is dialectical and systemic methodologies used in the field of cultural studies. General scientific and logical methods of analysis, synthesis, induction, and deduction, historical and comparative research of the problem are used. The author applies a hermeneutic approach to the study of the essence of vocal-performing style, identifying the personal content of objects to be interpreted. The scientific novelty of the work lies in deepening ideas about modern stylistic trends in vocal performance, clarifying the essence of the concepts of «performing style», «vocal-performing style», substantiating the tendency to interest in classical vocal works in modern vocal performance. Conclusions. Nowadays there is a steady tendency to interest in classical vocal works. The more significant, richer, and deeper in content the works of the past, the greater the preconditions for the interpretations of performers of one era and subsequent eras to be quite diverse and modified in the future, by bringing unique and individual means of expression in the interpretation of classical works. Active development of the classical tradition can be considered a stable and natural trend in the development of modern vocal and performing arts.
