Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Moon Shines at Night' presents the haunting and expressive tones of the duduk, an ancient double-reed woodwind instrument, masterfully played by the Armenian virtuoso. The collection highlights traditional melodies that evoke deep sorrow, resilience, and the expansive landscapes of the Caucasus. It played a crucial role in introducing Armenian folk traditions to a broader international audience.
