... A shining smile, rich and expressive timbre of voice, concealing, according to contemporaries, a “peculiar narcotic aroma”, all this took the listener somewhere far away from everyday life, glorified the sweets of life, oblivion of sorrows and painful problems. Excellent phrasing and elocution, precise intonation, expressive gestures, the power of artistic infusion, and above all, the singer's strong personality - ensured success for the simplest and most unpretentious songs. Anastasia Vyaltseva, a peasant by birth, was proud that she had become the reference of femininity and grace, the idol of aristocratic salons and a welcome guest among the most refined artistic and poetic representatives. She achieved all this on her own, by the power of her talent and charm alone. Almost no one named the singer by her last name - Vyaltseva. Usually, she was called “the matchless". It began courtesy of reporters - and got root.
