Album Notes & Community Reviews
A breathtakingly beautiful interpretation of ancient Armenian sacred music stretching from the 5th to the 20th centuries. The pianist is joined entirely by the Yerevan State Chamber Choir, blending his delicate jazz improvisations with sweeping, polyphonic vocal arrangements. The project was conceived to commemorate the centenary of the Armenian genocide.
