Tukhmanov is the son of [[:Category:Armenia|Armenian]] engineer Fyodor Davidovich Tukhmanov and a Russian music teacher Vera Anatolyevna Karasyova.<sup>[2]</sup> He began to learn music under his mother's tutelage at an early age and wrote his first piece of music (Lezginka), when he was four years old. He then studied at the Gnesins Musical School (1958) and later studied composition at Gnesins Musical College (1963). His final  project during this course was ''"Distance After Distance"'', an oratorio for soloists, choir and orchestra, based on fragments of the epic poem of the same name by Alexander Tvardovsky.<sup>[1]</sup>

In 1972<sup>[4]</sup> Tukhmanov released his first personally authored album How Beautiful is the World and later he created an album-suite On a Wave of My Memory (1975).<sup>[1]</sup> 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. This album was a record-breaking success for the USSR, becoming a highly sought-after product. It rivaled the top albums of Pink Floyd or Deep Purple in terms of desirability.

In 1975 Tukhmanov released ''On a Wave of My Memory''.<sup>[1]</sup> This album was recorded in secret, in more remote studios across Moscow, with tight lips and keeping a low profile, for fear of censors shutting down the project before fruition. This did not happen, however, and the album was a record-breaking success for the USSR, becoming a highly sought-after product, which rivaled albums by Pink Floyd or Deep Purple in terms of desirability. The idea of ''"On a Wave of My Memory"'' was developed by Tatyana Sashko, David Tukhmanov's wife, who picked the classic poems for the album's songs. It is considered to be the first conceptual Russian rock album.

The idea of On a Wave of My Memory belonged 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. In 1972, How Beautiful is the World was released as a trial work.<sup>[6]</sup>
+
In January 1981, Tukhmanov created the rock band [[Moskva]] (Moscow), with Nikolai Noskov (vocals, rhythm guitar), Alexey Belov (vocals, lead guitar, keyboards) and Dmitry Serebryakov (drums). In 1982 Moskva released the ''"UFO"'' album,<sup>[8]</sup> which musical critic Yuri Filinov describes as being "rather far from structure of thinking in Western rock" (though arrangements, instruments, rhythms were modern). Filinov also defined the album as a noncommercial disk.<sup>[9]</sup>. Eventually Tukhmanov stopped writing songs for the band. In the spring of 1984 Noskov left the band, and soon he recorded Tukhmanov's song ''Night''. In 1985 Moskva recorded Tukhmanov's song, ''"XXIII Century"''.<sup>[10]</sup>

Some rock fans said that On a Wave of My Memory is a Russian Sergeant (they meant Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band). I would prefer to recollect «great albums» of Pink 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:

In 1984 and in 1985 Tukhmanov wrote five songs for Alexander Barykin's ''Carnaval'' (an album, ''Steps'').<sup>[11]</sup> During the same period he wrote a mini-album for [[Category: Estonia|Estonian]] Soviet pop singer Jaak Joala, ''Love Itself''.<sup>[12]</sup> In 1985, Tukhmanov also released an album, ''War Songs'', dedicated to the 40th anniversary of Soviet victory in Second World War.<sup>[13]</sup>

In 1986 he started a pop band, [[Electroclub]], which released three albums.<sup>[16][17][18]</sup> In 1989, after his work with Electroclub, Tukhmanov created a musical, ''Thief of Bagdad'' (together with poet and lyricist Yuri Entin), which premiered in 1990 in Moscow (theatre Satiricon) and in Sverdlovsk.<sup>[1]</sup> This musical is still performed to this day in many Russian cities.<sup>[19]</sup>

Tukhmanov eventually returned to a classical style. In 2002, he created the oratorio ''Legend of Yermak'' for a large choir, soloists and an orchestra. By the end of 2005, he finished his creation of an opera, ''Ekaterina the Great''.<sup>[1]</sup> ''Ekaterina the Great'' (libretto by Yuri Ryashentsev and Galina Polidi) has been directed in the theatre Gelikon Opera under the title Tsaritsa. Its premiere took place in 2009, in Saint Petersburg.<sup>[21]</sup>

In January, 1981, Tukhmanov organized rock band Moskva (Moscow) — Nikolai Noskov (vocals, rhythm guitar), Alexey Belov (vocals, lead guitar, keyboards), Dmitry Serebryakov (drums). In 1982 Moskva released an album UFO.<sup>[8]</sup> Musical critic Yuri Filinov had noted that UFO «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.<sup>[9]</sup> 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 song Night. In 1985 Moskva recorded Tukhmanov's song XXIII Century.<sup>[10]</sup>

David Toukhmanov. Picture by Ivan Bessedin

David Fyodorovich Tukhmanov (Russian: Дави́д Фёдорович Тухма́нов, born on July 20th, 1940, in Moscow, USSR) is a Soviet and Russian composer. He was named People's Artist of Russia (2000), and won the State Prize of Russian Federation (2003).[1]

Biography

Tukhmanov is the son of Armenian engineer Fyodor Davidovich Tukhmanov and a Russian music teacher Vera Anatolyevna Karasyova.[2] He began to learn music under his mother's tutelage at an early age and wrote his first piece of music (Lezginka), when he was four years old. He then studied at the Gnesins Musical School (1958) and later studied composition at Gnesins Musical College (1963). His final project during this course was "Distance After Distance", an oratorio for soloists, choir and orchestra, based on fragments of the epic poem of the same name by Alexander Tvardovsky.[1]

Tukhmanov is known for several Soviet-themed hit songs such as Victory Day (Den Pobedy) and other popular songs. His first hit song was Last Electrichka (1968).[1][3]

In 1972[4] Tukhmanov released his first album How Beautiful is the World. In 1973 he wrote songs and music for a TV film, "This Merry Planet". In the following year he released an album with the film's soundtrack, which also included several additional songs.[5]

In 1975 Tukhmanov released On a Wave of My Memory.[1] This album was recorded in secret, in more remote studios across Moscow, with tight lips and keeping a low profile, for fear of censors shutting down the project before fruition. This did not happen, however, and the album was a record-breaking success for the USSR, becoming a highly sought-after product, which rivaled albums by Pink Floyd or Deep Purple in terms of desirability. The idea of "On a Wave of My Memory" was developed by Tatyana Sashko, David Tukhmanov's wife, who picked the classic poems for the album's songs. It is considered to be the first conceptual Russian rock album.

In January 1981, Tukhmanov created the rock band Moskva (Moscow), with Nikolai Noskov (vocals, rhythm guitar), Alexey Belov (vocals, lead guitar, keyboards) and Dmitry Serebryakov (drums). In 1982 Moskva released the "UFO" album,[8] which musical critic Yuri Filinov describes as being "rather far from structure of thinking in Western rock" (though arrangements, instruments, rhythms were modern). Filinov also defined the album as a noncommercial disk.[9]. Eventually Tukhmanov stopped writing songs for the band. In the spring of 1984 Noskov left the band, and soon he recorded Tukhmanov's song Night. In 1985 Moskva recorded Tukhmanov's song, "XXIII Century".[10]

In 1984 and in 1985 Tukhmanov wrote five songs for Alexander Barykin's Carnaval (an album, Steps).[11] During the same period he wrote a mini-album for Soviet pop singer Jaak Joala, Love Itself.[12] In 1985, Tukhmanov also released an album, War Songs, dedicated to the 40th anniversary of Soviet victory in Second World War.[13]

In 1986, Tukhmanov wrote music and songs for the TV film The Travel of M. Perrichon (an adaptation of Eugène Labiche's vaudeville),[14]releasing the music as an album the following year.[15]

In 1986 he started a pop band, Electroclub, which released three albums.[16][17][18] In 1989, after his work with Electroclub, Tukhmanov created a musical, Thief of Bagdad (together with poet and lyricist Yuri Entin), which premiered in 1990 in Moscow (theatre Satiricon) and in Sverdlovsk.[1] This musical is still performed to this day in many Russian cities.[19]

After the disintegration of USSR, Tukhmanov emigrated to Germany. In 1995 he returned and wrote six cycles of songs for children (he also wrote the hymn of children's animated festival «Golden Fish») with Yuri Entin. He wrote the Square Windows cycle (based on the poems by Innokenty Annensky) too.[1] In 2007, Tukhmanov wrote songs for a literary-musical composition based on poems by Alexander Pushkin.[19] His album, Long Live the Muses! has released in 2009, 210 years after Pushkin's birth.[20]

In 2007, Tukhmanov and Yuri Entin finished their second variant of the musical Evening in Copenhagen (on motives of Nikolai Erdman's play The Mandate).[19]

Tukhmanov eventually returned to a classical style. In 2002, he created the oratorio Legend of Yermak for a large choir, soloists and an orchestra. By the end of 2005, he finished his creation of an opera, Ekaterina the Great.[1] Ekaterina the Great (libretto by Yuri Ryashentsev and Galina Polidi) has been directed in the theatre Gelikon Opera under the title Tsaritsa. Its premiere took place in 2009, in Saint Petersburg.[21]

Tukhmanov wrote a triptych for mezzo-soprano and a piano Dream of Sebastian, or Saint Night (based on the poems by Georg Trakl). Its first performance took place in 2007, in Moscow.[19]

In 1998, Tukhmanov was invited to the musical direction of the World Olympic Junior Games in Moscow and wrote music for the event. In 2010, Tukhmanov released his solo album Tango of Boris Poplavsky's Dreams.[19]

He currently splits his time between Israel, his wife's country, and Russia.
