Biography

[edit]

Tukhmanov is a son of anArmenianengineer Fyodor Davidovich Tukhmanov and a Russian music teacher Vera Anatolyevna Karasyova.[2]The Tukhmanovs are the descendants of the Armenian princely house ofTumanyans,the offspring of the princesMamikonians,Lords ofDsegh.David began to learn music under the direction of his mother at an early age and wrote his first piece of music (Lezginka), when he was four years old. Then he finished Gnesins musical school (1958) and composer's branch ofGnesins Musical College(1963). His degree's work was the oratorio for soloists, chorus and an orchestraDistance After Distance,which is based on fragments of the epic poem of the same name byAlexander Tvardovsky.[1]

Early career

[edit]

Tukhmanov is known for several Soviet-themed hit songs such as "Victory Day"(Russian: День Победы, lit. 'Den Pobedy') and other popular songs. His first hit song was" Last Electrichka "(Russian: Последняя электричка, lit. 'Poslednyayaelectrichka') in 1968.[1][3]In 1973 Tukhmanov wrote songs and music for a TV filmThis Merry Planet.In the following year he releasedsoundtrack album,which also included several additional songs.[4]

In 1972[5]Tukhmanov released his first personally authored albumHow Beautiful the World is(Russian: Как прекрасен мир, lit. 'Kak prekrasen mir') which he described as a trial work cause of its conceptual structure.[6][7]In 1975-76 he created an album-suiteOn a Wave of My Memory(Russian: По волне моей памяти, lit. 'Po volne moyey pamyati').[1][8]The idea ofOn a Wave of My Memorybelonged to Tatyana Sashko, the wife of David Tukhmanov, and she was the one who picked the classic poems for the album's songs. It is considered to be the first conceptual Russian rock album.[9][10]Wave's execution was done in secret, in more remote studios across Moscow, with tight lips and low profile, for fear of censors shutting down the project before fruition, but this did not happen.[9]This album was a record-breaking success for the USSR, becoming a highly sought-after product.[7]It rivaled the top albums ofPink FloydorDeep Purplein terms of desirability.

Some rock fans said thatOn a Wave of My Memoryis a RussianSergeant(they meantSgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band). I would prefer to recollect «great albums» ofPink Floyd,but I want to tell about another. Imagine the circle and place the tracks clockwise. You will see from right to left and from top to down:

Top — Prologue (Voloshin) & Epilogue (Mickiewicz)

Top chord — Female songs (Sappho&Akhmatova)

Diameter — German poetry (Vagantes&Goethe)

Down chord — French poetry (Baudelaire&Verlaine)

Down —Shelley,InvisibleCounterpoint,Guillén

1980s

[edit]

In January, 1981, Tukhmanov organized rock bandMoskva(Moscow) —Nikolai Noskov(vocals, rhythm guitar), Alexey Belov (vocals, lead guitar, keyboards), Dmitry Serebryakov (drums). In 1982 Moskva released an albumUFO.[12]Musical critic Yuri Filinov had noted thatUFO«is rather far from structure of thinking in Western rock» (though arrangements, instruments, rhythms were modern). Filinov also defined the album as a noncommercial disk.[13]Perhaps, because of this fact Tukhmanov ceased to write songs for the band. In the spring of 1984 Noskov left the band, and soon he recorded Tukhmanov's songNight.In 1985 Moskva recorded Tukhmanov's songXXIII Century.[14]

In 1984 and in 1985 Tukhmanov wrote five songs forAlexander Barykin's Carnaval to release a collaboration LPSteps(Russian: Ступени, lit. 'Stupeni').[15]In the same years he wrote all songs for mini-album of Estonian Soviet pop singerJaak JoalaLove Itself(Russian: Сама любовь, lit. 'Sama lyubov').[16]In 1985 Tukhmanov also has released an albumWar Songs,dedicating to the 40th anniversary of Soviet victory inSecond World War.[17]

Premiere has taken place in 1990 — in Moscow (theatre Satiricon) and in Sverdlovsk.[1]This musical is directed until now in many cities of Russia.[23]

In 1995 he returned and wrote together with Entin six cycles of songs for children (he also wrote the hymn of children's animated festival «Golden Fish»).

From their marriage, a daughter named Anastasia was born in 1974. Anastasia pursued her studies at MGIMO and became a skilled translator, specializing in English. During an extended period when he was away in Germany, his second wife Natalya decided to part ways with him and even went as far as discharging him from their five-room apartment in Moscow. This led David to take the matter to court. The nature of the estrangement between David, Tatyana, and their daughter remains private, as David prefers not to publicly discuss the reasons for their current lack of communication.[29]

His third and current wife, Lyubov Viktorovna, is a talented pianist and singer residing in Israel. They met in 1991 while they were both in Germany. He currently splits his time betweenIsrael,his wife's country, andRussia.In Israel, he lives in the small town ofKiryat Ono,which is part of theTel Aviv District.[30]
