Abstract: The article deals with the emotional facets of Russian romance and song, in particular, such components as confessional. Russian song and romance literary and musical potential and the means that form the confessional beginning of this genre are analyzed. The article considers the origins of Russian romance and song formation, their connection with Church music, which largely influenced the formation of the confessional beginning of this genre. Special attention is paid to the work of S. Y. Lemeshev – the performer who raised the genre of Russian romance and song to a qualitatively new level and revealed the spiritual potential of Chaikovsky’s romances and vividly embodied their confessional. Russian vocal music, whose spiritual, historical and aesthetic value is not in doubt, is the necessity of a comprehensive study of the article; the unexplored nature of the topic; the disclosure of new aspects relating to Russian romances and songs, their performance.
