#3471: Music from the Armenian Diaspora
Listen to music from the Armenian diaspora on this New Sounds program. Hear the duduk, that distinctive double reed instrument, by the “Master of the Duduk,” Djivan Gasparyan, in many different combinations, from Gasparyan’s collaboration with Canadian-American producer Michael Brook’s electric guitar, to a work featuring the cellist Maya Beiser. Then, hear Gasparyan’s duduk in a work by the Italian pianist/composer Ludovico Einaudi. There's also music from the recent release by violist Nicolas Cords (of Brooklyn Rider) playing a work by Alan Hovanhess.
Sample some music by Eve Beglarian, based on the traditional Armenian song “I will not be sad in this world,” arranged for flute and tape effects. Plus, more traditionally informed music by another of the country's leading duduk performers Vardan Grigorian. All that, and more.
