There are only Jews around
For two evenings in a row, on Sunday and yesterday, the Jewish community was walking in the Jewish Cultural Center in Maryina Roshcha. We drank and had a snack on the occasion of the presentation of the musical album "Songs of a Jewish Shtetl". The performance of local songs was transferred to the stage at the Novaya Opera Theater under the patronage of the Yuri Bashmet Foundation.
After the whole audience at the Novaya Opera got up and together with the artists sang the final "Lomir ale inanem!" In Yiddish. (Let's all together!), And the star of David lit above the stage, all VIPs, regardless of nationality, went to Maryina Roshcha to drink Israeli wines, eat forshmak and stuffed fish in honor of the hero of the occasion - the main performer of the actor Efim Alexandrov, who at the same time has already noted and your birthday.
At the entrance to the synagogue of the Jewish Cultural Center, men were given festive white kippas. However, real orthodox Jews neglected state caps, remaining in their own black hats. Valentin Yudashkin, Mikhail Zadornov, Vladimir Vinokur, Igor Krutoy and Igor Nikolaev were the first to wear kippahs. Having covered their heads, they went to take pictures with the producer of the play Yan Ashkinaziy and the hero of the evening, Efim Aleksandrov. Soon the Chief Rabbi of Russia, Berl Lazar, appeared, who, it should be noted, is rarely met at social receptions. Behind him was the editor-in-chief of the Kommersant publishing house Andrei Vasiliev, who categorically refused to put on a kippa, explaining that he “did not like traditional Jewish clothes,” and then Edward Radzinsky, Julius Gusman, Mikhail Zhvanetsky followed ... One of the last to arrive was Yuri Bashmet.
“Everything is kosher here today,” the organizers reassured the guests. “Pay attention, there are not even oranges! Because they are not kosher this year.
But, of course, there could be no talk of any kosher when Joseph Kobzon began to speak. He said:
“I am glad that today such wonderful people have come to this friendly dinner, who honor our Jewish traditions. It's a shame that many of us don't speak Yiddish or Hebrew. But after such a wonderful concert, it is clear that being a Jew is an honor. And I am glad that not only Jews are here. After all, our culture is a value for all mankind. I promise that I will organize a concert of Efim Alexandrov in the "Russia" hall. I will not deny that I also aimed at the Palace of Congresses: Jewish music should sound from such a platform. But this is already a state issue.
After which he immediately told by the way an anecdote:
- One Jewish lady went to the premiere of the film "Member of Parliament" and shares her impressions with her friend: "You know, but I thought parliament was a surname!"
Fun was already going on at the tables. The guests sang "Hava Nagilu", many went out to the stage to dance, everyone honored Fima and kissed each other.
When most of the guests had departed, they also served hot, the pink salmon stewed in white wine was especially good. Those who waited for her were delighted with the art of the cooks and the hospitality of the hosts. Yuri Bashmet, who came late, was one of the last to leave. It turned out that he did the right thing.

ALENA B-ANTONOVA

Igor Krutoy: the biography, personal life of the famous maestro are interesting to his fans, since his fate, like any truly creative and extraordinary personality, consists of ups and downs. Everything that Igor Yakovlevich has now - prosperity, recognition and unprecedented popularity - he owes to many years of work, sincere devotion to his beloved work and, of course, talent and charisma.

The hard way to music

Igor Krutoy is an interesting personality in all respects, he is interesting both as a musician and as a man. At the same time, women do not care at all how old Cool is. He absolutely does not give in to age.

The future famous composer was not born and raised in a creative family: Yakov Aleksandrovich, the musician's father, worked as a freight forwarder at the factory, and his mother, Svetlana Semyonovna, was a former laboratory assistant at the sanitary and epidemiological station.

Igor was not the only child in the family: he has a younger sister, Alla, after whose birth Svetlana Semyonovna left her job and devoted herself to caring for children and providing a strong rear for her husband. Currently, my sister lives in the United States and works as a TV presenter.

From early childhood, Igor literally lived in music, the ability to which manifested itself already at such a tender age. And then my mother decided to take the boy to a music school. Already in his school years, the boy could rightfully be considered a real star:

• on all holidays Igor accompanied the school choir on the button accordion;
• in the sixth grade, he created his first creative brainchild - his own ensemble.

After leaving school, Igor, like any graduate, faced the choice of a profession. On the advice of Svetlana Semyonovna, who takes an active part in her son's musical life, the guy tried to enter a music school. But here the first creative failure awaited him: one of the prerequisites for passing the entrance exams was the mastery of the piano. I had to postpone my admission for a year and study the instrument, which only benefited the musician's career.

Obstacles and achievements

Igor Krutoy's youth was also filled with music. And on the creative path to the starry sky, new thorns awaited him.

After graduating with honors in 1970 from the theoretical department of the Kirovograd School of Music, the young man decided to try his luck at the Kiev Conservatory, but did not enter.

Having worked for a year as a teacher at a music school in his native Gayvoron, Krutoy became a student of the conducting department of the Music and Pedagogical Institute in the city of Nikolaev.

Combining his studies with work as a waiter in a restaurant, Igor met Alexander Serov. The meeting became fateful - he began to write songs for the performer.

The further creative destiny of Krutoy is interesting and rich:

• In 1979, Krutoy received an invitation to work in the Moscow Panorama Orchestra, where Vladimir Migulya also worked. And later he moved to the Blue Guitars ensemble;
• After 2 years, Igor Krutoy was offered a place as a pianist in the ensemble of Valentina Tolkunova with subsequent leadership;
• In 1986, Krutoy became a student again, but after studying for a year at the Saratov Conservatory, he took the documents.

Glory comes to the maestro

A year later, his first hit "Madonna" was released on the verses of Rimma Kazakova, which, as you know, was performed by Alexander Serov. Following "Madonna", "How to Be" and "Wedding Music", also performed by Serov, were born. The talented composer was noticed by megastars Valery Leontiev, Sofia Rotaru, Lev Leshchenko and other equally famous performers.

They still use his services. Besides, performs songs to his music and a younger generation of performers:

• Marina Khlebnikova;
• Alsou;
• Nikolay Baskov;
• Zhenya Gor and some of the Star Factory alumni.

In 1997, Igor Krutoy sang himself: the song "Unfinished Romance", which he performed in a duet with Irina Allegrova, became a real hit.

In 1989 Igor Krutoy became artistic director of "ARS"- a youth center.

Over the 9 years of the company's existence, Krutoy has grown to the position of its president. "ARS" contributed to the popular programs: "Song of the Year", "Soundtrack" and "Morning Mail" (later - "Good morning, country!").

In 1994, Igor Krutoy began organizing creative evenings, where both already well-known performers and young people were invited, for whom such evenings were a chance to prove themselves. The event was a success in other countries as well.

In 2000, Krutoy released his own album, Without Words.

In 2003, due to the Star Factory-4 scandal, Krutoy became an unwanted person for Channel One for several years.

Personal life of the composer

In Leningrad, in 1979, after 3 days of dating, Igor made an offer to the girl Elena, to which she agreed. In 1981, Elena gave birth to a son, Nikolai. The divorce on her initiative was so painful that for some time Elena prevented father and son from meeting.

At the New Year's celebration in New York, with the light hand of the Prima Donna, Igor met Olga, who later became the second wife of Krutoy. At that time, Olga was married and had a daughter, Victoria. And Igor was still going through parting with his previous family.

Olga Krutoy's biography is remarkable. Olga was born on November 11, 1963 in St. Petersburg in the family of a committed communist and housewife. Parents tried to instill in their daughter strictness and modesty. According to the father, a woman should do the housework, which his wife did - she supported the home and raised her daughter and son.

Olga was calm and docile, but by the age of 17, being a true daughter of her time, Olga noticed that a girl of her age could go out late and wear jeans. With late walks, nothing came of it, but Olga defended the right to walk in jeans.

But a strict upbringing coupled with a rebellious character bore fruit: as a result, Olga Krutaya is a successful business woman.

After graduating from school, Olga, in spite of her father, received an economic education. But despite the fact that she chose this path out of spite, in the future economic education served her well - both in business and in the competent management of the family budget.

As a student, Olga married and gave birth to a daughter, Victoria. And after graduation, she decided to live with a friend in America, and stayed there, taking her daughter six months later.

It was there that she met Igor, who immediately fell in love with her. But Olga, having taken Krutoy's sister, who accompanied him with her mother, for his wife, did not attach any importance to acquaintance.

A month later, the maestro, realizing that he could not forget the beauty, dialed her number. And so the romance began. He developed rapidly - already on the third date Igor proposed to Olga, but they got married only 2 years later.

The wedding was celebrated on a grand scale: we walked for two days, a huge number of celebrities were invited - Alla Pugacheva, Irina Allegrova and many, many ...

In the garden of the Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel, guests dressed in flowing dresses and elegant tuxedos eagerly await the start of the wedding ceremony.

They met in Miami sixteen years ago.

He was 14, he was a nice, funny, cute, but the most ordinary guy. I liked older guys back then

Victoria recalls with a smile.

And even then, at the age of 12, she was already beautiful, about which I immediately said to her: "Vicki, I will definitely marry you!"

David adds.

Victoria's parents Igor and Olga Krutoy and David's parents laughed at the touching remark and soon forgot about it. Victoria and David went to school: she flew to New York, he to Switzerland.

Further in this story, the phrase is appropriate: "Years have passed ...". Young people have matured. We got ourselves accounts on a social network, started communicating on Facebook, became good friends on the global network, and once through mutual friends we got into one company. That meeting, which happened about five years ago, became the starting point of their modern history: unexpectedly for themselves, both Victoria and David realized that there was no one closer, dearer, and the tender feelings that they have for each other are not at all memories of adolescence. hobby, but a serious, adult feeling.

Victoria and David got married a month and a half ago in America - the official registration of marriage took place in the suburbs of New York, in the Hamptons, on June 1. A few weeks later in Monaco, they became husband and wife in Jewish tradition. At the end of the traditional ceremony, David crushed a glass wrapped in a towel with his right foot, and the guests shouted in chorus: "Mazal Tov!"

Twilight deepened over Monte Carlo, and guests began to slowly move to the Sporting Club celebration hall, located next to the hotel. A spacious hall with a stage and a long terrace, which offers a panoramic view of Monaco and the Ligurian Sea bay, has become an ideal place for a big party. The mood, already excellent, was supported by the musicians of A "Studio, SEREBRO, Ivan Dorn, the famous American hip-hop performer and producer Jean Wyclef, as well as the host of the evening Nikolai Baskov.

Successful women and handsome men! Say hello to the newlyweds! - proclaimed the Basque. Victoria and David appeared on the stage in the spotlight. And Nikolai continued:

And right away I want to invite the outstanding composer and his wife, the wonderful Igor and Olga Krutykh, to the stage. Cool wedding! Cool family!

Igor Yakovlevich noted Baskov's sense of humor and addressed the audience with words of gratitude:

Thank you for coming thousands of kilometers away to share with us the joy of today. Our family owes you a lot. Of course, the entry of a new member into our family is not an easy process. But when David came and for the first ten minutes incessantly talked about how my wife Olga is the most beautiful woman in the world, and I am the best composer and he only listens to my music, then, you understand: he immediately came to court ... And now, in any of his conflicts with Vika, we take his side. I want them to be healthy and happy, to give birth to our grandchildren and to always hear laughter in their house, as it is now.

The bride's mother Olga Krutaya wished Victoria and David children: Dear ones! I love you very much, I just adore you. Vika, you are everything to me - my life, my happiness! I was told today: "It's amazing how easily you give your daughter in marriage!" So, I am not giving away my daughter - I am accepting my son. And I accept the title of mother-in-law. And I will be happy if I soon become a grandmother. I wish you that your life was as beautiful and extraordinary as today. At this moment Igor Krutoy quietly said: "How is your life with me?" "Yes, like mine," Olga replied with the same ingratiation.

The first toast was followed by a dance of the bride and groom, traditional, but not quite ordinary in this case. The young were accompanied by Igor Krutoy. He sat down at a black piano, and everyone heard the words of a familiar song: Forever, I hug you. / Forever, I saw you and melted. / Your gaze, like an angel, gives light. / You leave a trace in the sky. / It is impossible to be careful .. ...

"Women can cry!" - Baskov allowed. And Vladimir Vinokur called the next five hours of the holiday "perhaps the best concert of Igor Krutoy." And the truth: the guests were not bored for a minute. The toasts were followed by the performances of the artists, and it seems that absolutely all the guests danced to their hits. During short intervals, videos were shown on large plasma screens. In one, the voiceover told the love story of Victoria and David.

In another, the newlyweds, made up as if they were under a hundred years old, recalled how they met and fell in love with each other. In the third, a close friend of Tatyana Berkovich, Gosha Kutsenko, who recently became a father for the second time, congratulated Victoria and David, walking with a baby carriage.

According to Jewish tradition, the wedding ceremony is usually followed by a light kosher dinner and Jewish songs. However, since the young were congratulated by a large international company of friends and relatives, on this day both the Jewish "Mazal Tov" and the Russian "Bitter!" beef, risotto with white truffles, sea bass with champagne sauce, tomatoes with Italian mozzarella and much, much more.

Childhood and youth

Igor Krutoy was born in the Ukrainian town of Gaivoron on July 29, 1954. his parents' nationality is Jewish. Their family had two children, Igor and Alla. Parents had nothing to do with the art world. My father worked as a dispatcher at the Radiodetal enterprise, my mother was a laboratory assistant at a sanitary and epidemiological station. After the birth of her second child, she quit her job and became a housewife. It is not clear where this boy got his love for music. However, at an early age, parents noticed that their son had excellent hearing.

Mom enrolled the child in a music school, where he learned to play the button accordion. A few years later, Igor successfully played along with the student choir on the button accordion. In high school, he mastered the piano. In the 6th grade, Krutoy independently organized an ensemble, and very competently led this children's team. It didn't take long for the ensemble to gain experience, and they began to invite them to play in the high school dances.

After graduating from high school, the young man decided to improve his musical abilities. He entered the theoretical department of the Kirovograd School of Music. After graduating from this educational institution, a graduate of Krutoy worked for a year at a music school in the city of Gaivoron. He taught to play the button accordion, and at the same time held the position of a music teacher in a neighboring village. A year later, he again becomes a student, now Krutoy is studying at the Nikolaev Musical Pedagogical Institute at the conducting faculty.

In 1979, the talented musician was invited to work in the capital's concert orchestra "Panorama". Famous musicians worked in this collective - Vladimir Migulya, Palad Bul-byul oglu. A year later, Krutoy moved to the Blue Guitars ensemble. The young man has established himself from the very best side, it is for this reason that he was invited to the renowned collective - the ensemble. Very soon Krutoy becomes the leader of this team.

Igor works hard, and at the same time never ceases to dream of studying at the conservatory. He always wanted to be a composer. In 1986, the musician entered the Sobinov Saratov Conservatory at the composer's faculty.

Composer's career

Exactly one year after entering the Conservatory, the composer's biography of Igor Krutoy begins. He writes his first song, which has gained immense popularity among Soviet listeners. It was "Madonna", a song written especially for a longtime friend Igor, whom he met back in Nikolaev.

This song, which immediately became a hit, was followed by other masterpieces - "Wedding Music", "You Love Me", "How to Be." All of them were distinguished by incredible romanticism and lyricism. The composer became very popular, his songs were performed by Russian pop stars - Valery Leontyev, Alexander Buinov.

Having achieved success in the composer's field, Igor Yakovlevich thought about a new type of activity. He was interested in a career as a producer. In 1989 Igor became the director of the ARS company, then its artistic director. Ten years later, Krutoy became the president of the company, which, under his skillful leadership, turned into a solid concert and production organization. "ARS" cooperates with many popular performers - Mikhail Shufutinsky, other singers. This company organizes solo concerts of world and national pop stars at the best concert venues in Russia and abroad.

This is a very reputable company, it was she who organized the performances of Jose Carreras. In addition, "ARS" is the producer of the programs "Morning Mail", "Song of the Year", "Good Morning Country!", "Soundtrack". All these programs are broadcast on the central channels - RTR, ORT. Since 1994, "ARS" has been holding creative evenings of the composer Igor Krutoy, where well-known stars and new, newly discovered talents perform.

Over time, the composer became interested in writing instrumental music. This is what he is doing at the present time. In 2000, Krutoy recorded his first album, Music without Words, which included his best instrumental works. Many music lovers call the composer's late album "When I Close My Eyes" simply incomparable. Igor Yakovlevich composes music for feature films, makes clips with his participation, which are very popular

The song of the composer, entitled "Unfinished Romance", which he performed together with, won many hearts. It is called one of the most significant hits of Cool. A lot of speculation appeared in the media about the composer's enthusiasm for the famous singer. Some journalists argued that Igor's marriage was in jeopardy. However, this information has remained in the category of speculation. In a conversation with Lera Kudryavtseva ("Secret in a Million" program), Krutoy explained that his novel was creative, and he has high relations with Allegrova. Another composition by Igor Krutoy was very remembered by the listeners. It was the song "My friend", created together with Igor Nikolaev.

Music critics call the collaboration of Krutoy with the singer a separate page of his creative biography. In 2010, their joint work was released - the album "Doctor Zhivago". This collection has become very popular in some countries around the world. Igor Krutoy became famous in Canada, Belgium, France, Switzerland, since the work of Lara Fabian has always been dear to the inhabitants of these countries.

The anniversary of the composer in 2014 was widely celebrated. The concert for this day was called "60 times in life", it was broadcast on "Russia-1". The maestro not only performed his songs himself, many performers came to congratulate him - Irina Allegrova, other singers.

The video "Late Love" (2016) became a joint work of Krutoy and. The song quickly achieved high ratings. This video was shot by famous representatives of Russian show business in Kiev. There was a lot of indignation among the Ukrainians, some of them considered this event illegal and not too correct.

Now the composer's discography includes more than 40 collections that were recorded by Russian singers.

Igor Yakovlevich honorably bears the title of People's Artist of Russia, his personal star has long been lit on the Square of Stars.

There was a period when this composer dropped out of public space for a long time. The reason for his disappearance was the conflict between ARS and Channel One. At that time, in 2003, the Star Factory-4 project was completed, the ratings of which left much to be desired. Konstantin Ernst was very unhappy with this fact. The TV channel claimed that after the end of the project, Krutoy warmed the performers under his wing, which was in conflict with the signed contract.

At the end of 2018, a significant performance by the popular Kazakh singer and Igor Krutoy took place. The audience was amazed at the performance, the recording of which quickly spread throughout the Internet.

The music of Krutoy during this period completely disappeared from the air, the singers who performed his compositions also became objectionable. The programs "Song of the Year", "New Wave" were also not shown to the audience. At present, the conflict has been settled, the black stripe in the creative biography of the famous composer has changed to a white one.

Personal life
