ARMENIAN SOULS
Հայ հոգիներ
Liturgical and traditional works by Komitas, Sayat-Nova, and Hovhannissian...
Narek Kazazyan, qanun
Astrig Siranossian, cello
Helbert Asatryan, duduk & shevi
Yerevan Holy Cross Choir
Shahe Keshishian, conductor
Royal Opera Orchestra
Stefan Plewniak, conductor
Armenia, the first Christian kingdom, is nowadays a country fighting for its survival. This disc, recorded both at the Château de Versailles and the Geghard Holy Spear Monastery in Armenia, rekindles the fraternal sentiment between our two peoples and invokes past souls and present ones, such as the virtuoso qanun player Narek Kazazyan, and the beating heart of this programme, in duet with the great cellist Astrig Siranossian and the flautist Helbert Asatryan. By alternating the sacred hymns of the Yerevan Holy Cross Choir with orchestral pieces from the traditional repertoire, it pays the most dazzling tribute to the whole of Armenia, in defence of something that no weapon can ever suppress: its ancestral soul.
Recorded in November 2022 at the Marengo Room of the Palace of Versailles and at the Monastery of the Holy Lance of Geghard in Armenia.
