Tamara Semyonovna Tsereteli (Georgian: თამარ წერეთელი, Russian: Тама́ра Семёновна Церете́ли, 14 August 1900, in Sveri, Kutais Governorate, Georgia, Russian Empire – 3 April 1968, in Moscow, USSR) was a Georgian Russian singer, contralto, who specialized in the Russian romance and was the first to record in 1925 Boris Fomin's "Dorogoi dlinnoyu".[1][2]
In the 1920s the singer's repertoire consisted largely of the songs written for, and dedicated to her by her mentor and partner Boris Prozorovsky, a prominent romance author, arrested in 1933 and executed in 1937 during the Great Purge. Tsereteli who gave more than 5500 concerts in her lifetime, retired in 1960.[3][4]
