Albatayev Vladimir,
tenor

I was born and spent my childhood and youth in Buryatia. Since my early days I enjoyed music greatly and felt it to be my vocation to become a professional singer. After school and two-year army service I first studied in Tchaikovsky music collage in Ulan ?Ude and than in Moscow in the Gnesins Academy.

In 1994 I participated in the contest of chamber vocalists in Kaliningrad ?Amber Nightingale? and became its prize-winner. In January 2002 I was awarded the title ?Honoured Artist of Russia? and in December 2003 got the title ?Honoured Artist of Buryat Republic?.

Since 1992 a have been singing as a soloist with ?The Capella Moscow Kremlin?, but also collaborated with different ensembles. I was on tour in the USA, Japan, Australia, Canada, and Europe.

Nowadays I sing with the ?ZLATOUST? ensemble.
