Valentina Vasilevna Tolkunova (July 12, 1946, Armavir, Krasnodar Region-March 22, 2010, Moscow).
During 44 years of creative activity Valentina Tolkunova performed more than 800 songs, mainly in the genre of love, family and military-patriotic lyrics-many of them have been awarded various awards and enjoyed success among listeners of all ages. Tolkunova had a rare voice timbre that matched the flute's timbre. Illness and death. In 1990, the singer was diagnosed with breast cancer. In 1992, she underwent surgery and underwent chemotherapy. In 2006 and 2009, repeated operations were performed to remove metastases, however, they continued to spread slowly, and over time the disease was generalized to the brain. Despite the severe ailment, Tolkunova continued to work actively: touring, recording new songs, preparing new concert programs and performances. These events prompted Tolkunov to think about God and the purpose of man on earth, to spiritual music and chants, she began to make regular pilgrimages to monasteries and to the holy places of Russia, to the Holy Land. In 1994, she was nearly killed in a terrorist attack in Tel Aviv, after which her religiosity was further increased. On February 16, 2010, during a concert in Mogiev, Tolkunova became ill and was admitted to the intensive care unit of the local hospital. From Mogilov, the artist was transferred to Moscow for examination in Botkin hospital. In the hospital ward on March 20, she was visited by a long-term partner on the stage Lev Leshchenko, then the patient called the priest, and the proto-priest Artemy Vladimirov made a cathedral right in the ward. On March 22, 2010, at 6 a.m., she fell into a coma and died two hours later at the age of 64. The final diagnosis is brain cancer. The farewell ceremony with the folk artist Valentina Tolkunova took place at the Variety Theatre on March 24, 2010, and the funeral service took place at the Ascension Temple on Great Nikita Street in central Moscow. A Friend Said that Valentina Tolkunova Came to Faith after Surviving a Terrible Terrorist Attack in Tel Aviv.
Friday marks 40 days since the death of famous singer Valentina Tolkunova. According to an old friend, she became a believer after surviving a terrorist attack in Israel. In an interview published on Friday in the newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda, songwriter Viktor Gin said that in 1994 Valentina was staying with him in Tel Aviv, and that all three of them went to the Dizengoff shopping mall. Whilst they were there, a terrorist attack that killed forty people. “God protected Valya. She was as far as you could be in the mall from the explosion. However, her friend, a doctor, was severely wounded and had to recuperate in hospital”, Mr Gin said. He went on to say that Valentina confessed to him before her departure, “My whole life is turned upside down! God protected me”. After this incident, she became a firm Orthodox believer. “[Valentina] really did a lot of soul-searching. For instance, she made regular pilgrimages to the Russian convent on the Mount of Olives. Every year, for many years, she came for a week or two. None of her Israeli friends knew that she was there. She went by herself and didn’t want to meet anybody”, Mr Gin recalled.
Let her view of creative honesty, family, love not fit into an incomprehensible age. Passionately, what is necessary - singing what it is necessary-saying. "The condition when Valentina Tolkunova arrived at our clinic was hopeless," explained "MK" doctors of Botkin hospital. As MK has already written, in February doctors made it clear that with such cancer, we can only hope for a miracle. Doctors warned relatives back in August 2009, when Tolkunova underwent surgery to remove the malignant tumor. But the disease progressed, and to stop it doctors were powerless. In the hospital of Botkin, where Valentina Tolkunova got on February 19 at 18.00 immediately after the tour and another attack in Belarus. In the first days of March, Valentina became very weak. Nevertheless, she was brave and found the strength to smile constantly at the doctors during the procedures. A priest was invited to the patient's ward a few days before her death, after which she was rushed to the intensive care unit. In the early morning of March 22, the singer's heart stopped.
Valentina Tolkunova: "I can't do it any other way" Valentina Tolkunova was born in 1946 in a hungry and unsettled post-war Armavir. Her father, a front-line soldier, worked on the railway, the family often moved from one city to another and, eventually, was in Moscow. Strange music Basis of the repertoire of Valentina Tolkunova-songs lyrical, even confessional, few people know that she started as a jazz performer. The young singer first appeared on the professional stage in 1967 as part of the jazz collective VIO-66. After one of the concerts, Valentina Vasilyevna's grandmother, approvingly withdrawing about the melody in general, wondered why there were almost no words in the songs, but only "sweat-sweat". "It's such music," her granddaughter explained to her. "It's called jazz." To listen to "Standing on the Half-Machine" Love and separation was directed by the ensemble Yuri Saulsky, who for inexhaustible energy was called in the collective "daddy-twenty horsepower." Valentina was only nineteen years old, almost twice as much, which did not prevent their romance and subsequent marriage, which lasted five years. Their relationship ended because of a new "fascination" of her husband. Learning about treason, she did not make scandals and sort out relationships, and just packed up and went to the village. Two months later she returned to Moscow to start her creative history from the beginning. At that difficult time for Tolkunova she was very helped by Joseph Kobzon at the insistence of which the singer was taken to The Mosconcert vocalist. Unlike Saulsky, who, paying tribute to her high, flute-like voice, considered Tolkunov "a girl not without abilities" and no more, Kobzon was able to consider her a future star. A new career began for Tolkunova, a pop singer. To listen to "Ah, Natasha" For the first time on the stage Valentina Vasilyevna was lucky to quickly find her own unique style and image, which distinguished her among the rest. The viewer quickly saw and appreciated it-the popularity of the singer began to gain momentum. She felt the music with her heart and sang with her soul. One of her first songs-"Ah, Natasha"-got Tolkunova only because the composer Vladimir Shainsky considered this music, to put it mildly, not the best of his work and without regret gave the work to a little-known young performer. To his surprise and joy, the song performed by Tolkunova was a great success. Listen to "Talk to Me, Mom" Embrace of Mother Another song, which later became the calling card of Tolkunova, too, was originally written not for her. Vladimir Migula created "Talk to me, Mother" especially for Lyudmila Szykina. But since he was then a beginner in the composers, it took a lot of time and effort to "promote" the composition on the radio. When it was finally revealed that the recording would take place, it turned out that she was away. Migula tried many other voices in despair, but none of them went to music the way he would have liked. When he heard Tolkunov sing it, it seemed to him for a moment that his mother's tender embrace was closed around him, so sensitively and accurately she felt the song. Valentina Tolkunova herself dedicated this song to her mother every time she attended her concert. Evgenia Nikolaevna was proud of her daughter and felt sorry for her, seeing how much she works, knowing about the unsettledness, which often, especially in her youth, accompanies artists on tour. After all, there were times when two future folk artists Tolkunov and Morgunov with their own hands washed the shirts of two future folk artists Khazanov and Leshchenko, and prepared for all the small company simple food. Listen to "Snouts, Syd" Ballad about the son of the second time Tolkunova married ten years after the collapsed marriage to Saulsky-for an international journalist Yuri Paporov. Over the years, the popular rumor "married" her with all, probably, idols of the stage of the time-from Kobzon to Leshchenko. Kolya's son was born in 1977. And once on tour in Novosibirsk she heard a song by unknown authors A. Bulychev and B. Emelyanov, whose words burned her soul: in Moscow she was waiting for a young son, whom she missed immensely. So the country recognized in her performance the touching song "Snouts are snug." TO LISTEN TO "I CAN'T BE OTHERWISE" ANTHEM OF FEMININITY SONG "I CAN'T BE OTHERWISE" BY ALEXANDER PAKHMUTOV AND NIKOLAI DOBRONRAVAV WAS WRITTEN ESPECIALLY FOR VALENTINA TOLKUNOVA. IN THE WORK ON THE SONG SHE DID NOT HAVE TO INVENT ANY SPECIAL STAGE IMAGE, BECAUSE THAT IS HOW SHE WAS IN LIFE - STRICT AND FEMININE, DEVOTED AND LOVING, DECENT AND STRONG SPIRIT. She did not remake herself to meet the rigid requirements of show business of the last decade, remained as she knew and loved the viewer. I went on tours, gave many charity concerts, gave all my pension to those in need. In a recent interview, she voiced two of her main principles of life: do not interfere with anyone and do at least one good thing a day. On February 16, 2010, her last concert took place in Mahilou. An ambulance was waiting for her at the service entrance, but Valentina Tolkunova brought the concert to an end and left the stage with a smile, to a barrage of applause.
Hits by Alexandra Pakhmutova-7: The Story of the Songs "The Belarusian Forest" (1976) and "I Can't Do Otherwise" (1982). The love for Belarus is long-standing for the creative couple Pakhmutova and Dobronravav. Back in 1973 they came to Minsk as members of the jury of the competition for the best performance of the Soviet song. Interestingly, the winners of the then unanimously recognized the wonderful ensemble PESNARY, which we mention here more than once. "I Can't Be Different" (1982)…But the fame of this song PESNYRAM had to share with another singer. As soon as Pakhmutova composed "I can't do it any other way," she immediately decided that this pitiful "factory waltz" would be perfect for Valentina Tolkunova, her essence "actor and female". The singer just embodied on the stage the image of a simple Russian woman with village roots. However, Tolkunova at that time accumulated so much material that the song lay idle for a year. DURING THIS TIME"I CAN'T DO IT OTHERWISE" MANAGED TO TAKE IN THEIR REPERTOIRE PESNARRY AND BEGAN TO PERFORM IT IN THE MALE VERSION. ANATOLY KASHEPAROV, SOLOIST OF PESNYAROV: "PERHAPS MANY PEOPLE DO NOT REMEMBER, BUT I WAS THE FIRST PERFORMER OF THE BEAUTIFUL PAKHMUT SONG "I CAN'T DO IT OTHERWISE". VALENTINA TOLKUNOVA, IN WHOSE VERSION THIS THING IS FAMILIAR TO MOST LISTENERS, SUBSEQUENTLY ASKED ME FOR FORGIVENESS (LAUGHS)". Yes, the song was performed by Tolkunova on wide screens. Pakhmutova managed to persuade the singer to record it just before the broadcast of "Blue Light" timed to March 8, 1982. The lyrics of the song were rather guileless, but for a long time I was puzzled by the line "Somewhere the sting cries". Only later I learned that "sting" is not a bird, and not some unfortunate girl, and a folk wind instrument in the form of a wooden tube with a trumpet.
