Actor Kharatyan called Pakhmutova a folk composer
Alexandra Pakhmutova, People's Artist of the USSR, is a truly folk composer whose songs have entered the cultural genetic code of Russians. This was announced to Izvestia on November 9 by People's Artist of the Russian Federation, actor Dmitry Kharatyan.
"Alexandra Nikolaevna is a classic of our pop music, our national song, Soviet, Russian. And whatever song you name, these are all great songs that have entered our culture, into our cultural genetic code, into the people, as they say. Alexandra Nikolaevna is truly a folk composer," the actor noted.
According to Kharatyan, the secret of Pakhmutova's unique handwriting lies in the fact that she has a keen sense of the country, the human soul and its expectations. He added that such great works as "Hope", "Tenderness", "How Young we Were" were created for centuries, and they help people live by giving them faith, hope and love.
"True nationality distinguishes Alexandra Nikolaevna from other authors and composers. Her handwriting, her soul are completely unique," said the artist.
The actor also admitted that he owes his first steps in art to Pakhmutova. Back in the pioneer camp, he became famous for singing her song "Starfall", after which he decided to continue his creative path.
"I confessed my love to her, said that thanks to you I started singing, and then I became an artist too. Moreover, it was right on the eve of my daughter's birth. She was born on my birthday, January 21, and I named her Alexandra in honor of Alexandra Nikolaevna Pakhmutova," Kharatyan added.
Pakhmutova turned 97 on November 9. On this day, Russian President Vladimir Putin declared that her musical works are a true treasure of Russian culture, and congratulated the composer on her birthday, wishing her good health, success and creative inspiration.
