hachik

Recommended Posts

Good topic

At first Welcome to Hyeforum

 

Jivan is one of the best Duduk Players that we offer, but lets do not forget, Levon Madadyan, Vatche Hovsepyan, Abarantsy Valod, Yerish, Alberd VArdanyan, Ruban HAroutunyan, Benik Igityan, Ararat Petrosyan, Chorni Khachik, ..........

 

I can name over 200 duduk players. all of them are good, i would say the best, each one has it's own still, it's own world,

 

Most recorded Artists are #1 Vache Hovsepyan, #2 Jivan GAsparyan #3 Albert VArdanyan, #4 Ruben HArutunyan ~~~~~~

 

Most recorded Artists in move music - Albert Vardanyan, Vache Hovsepyan Jivan GAsparyan,...

 

I will get some more info for you soon, I'm working on the -=Duduk Masters Of Armenia=- Web Site it will be on line soon, in next 3-to-4 months.

 

Welcoem to Hye Forum.

Thank you very much, Movses.

Levon Madayan is very interesting, I've listened to two tracks on different CDs. Do you know where I can find more?

Who is Abarantsy Valod?

I know only one record of Chorni Khachik accompanying Uzbek and I like it very much - both of them(vocal and duduk). Are there other records?

Yeghish and Vache Hovsepyan - yes! Old records of Gasparyan - yes!

You mentioned few others. Well, I have their CDs but it doesn't make me feel anything.

Vartan Grigoryan is one I like very much also. Don't have CD , only some MP3.

Thanks again,

Ilia.

Mkrtych Malkhasyan is very good, i have 2 afree... Obviously Djivan is internationally recognised as the most talented woodwind instrumentalist, so he deserves alot of credit for getting Armenia & the duduk on the map throughout the world!!! Then we have Vatche, may God enlighten his soul... Just breathtaking... Let's not forget Yerghish Manoukian & Khachatur Khachaturian!!! All of them are fantastic!!!

 

DUDUKZ RULE!!!

Hey, guys!

 

I think Jivan is making more improvises than others. In my opinion, Vache, who was probably the best of the best, was a more conservative player.

 

By the way, I was in EtnoFest in Moscow a week ago, and Jivan was one of the performers there. That was great! And what is interesting that I saw only a few Armenians there...

I did not even know that he plays Zurna too.

Don't forget about Gevorg Dabaghyan. I've got his new CD "Miniatures" (Trad. Crossroads) , he plays here some ashugs' songs, church hymns and also his version of mugam "Shushtar", it's fantastic.

Jivan also has new CD "Nazani" - he recorded it in Moscow (with H.Mouradian on kamancheh) and I liked it much more than his other recent works

( Nazeli, Fuad, Armenian fantasy ). Hope you can find it in States.
