Speaking of Chopin and Gomidas we all have to be proud of an outstanding Armenian pianist Artur Papazian.

Thank you Gamavor. I'd heard only a bit about him. Haven't heard his playing. I'll look through his website :)

Thank you Armat. I'm curious, do many classical Armenian musicians come to perform in the East? (Boston, New York...)

There are small but active group of Armenian classical musicians working and performing in Boston area. Most studied at Longy school of music or continued their studies.Suren used to live in Boston and in general there is a good deal of interest in classical music in Boston. I don't know about NY as far as Armenian musicians go.

I am going to hear Yo-Yo Ma in concert on Wed.6th in Boston symphony.I am looking forward and I expect surprising and refreshing repertoire

Thanks for your reply Armat, but I meant Armenians from Armenia who come as guest performers.

 

Yo-Yo Ma is great. I was kind of surprised (and slightly disappointed I guess) to read in TIME Magazine last week that his latest album (around #80!) was music from Azerbaijan and Turkey.

I just came back from the concert.True he performed Azeri,Turkish music with Azeri musicians however he also performed three Komitas pieces with Armenian duduk player.To my suprrise in the program he did mention about AG. Overall it was ok concert.I expected lot more from him.Anyway Suren's concert was electrifing something very special.

To answear to you about guest performers- all the (once guests) that I know now live in Boston and I have not seen new performers coming lately.

It is surprising that he played Komitas. It wasn't mentioned in TIME that he also played Armenian music in his latest CD. It is very good that he mentioned the Armenian Genocide (and again surprising, especially since he performed with Azeri musicians).

They have a certain infamy for certain biases.

 

..And I know they're not too pro-Armenian...

 

 

BUT ANYWHO, what is the name of this new album by Ma? It sounds like my cut of the cake..

 

 

..

Sayat Nova - Kani Vor Janim

Wow, I never thought of that. You're right, they could've written about it too, since Yo-Yo Ma did also play Armenian music.

Another favorite: Schubert's Piano Sonata in Bb, D. 960 :)

Number 21? One of my favoured. :)

Performed by the great pianist Sviatoslav Richter :)

 

Edit: Forgot to say that it's only the first part of three parts in the first movement. The rest of the piece is in the "related videos".
