Here is a fuller portrait of Armenia's foremost composer. This double album, made with Mansurian's participation, includes premiere recordings of works of the last decade.
Kim Kashkashian's advocacy of the music of Tigran Mansurian led to last year's critically-acclaimed "Hayren" album. Now comes a fuller portrait of Armenia's foremost composer. This double album, made with Mansurian's participation, includes premiere recordings of works of the last decade, in which Kashkashian is variously joined by Christoph Poppen and the Munich Chamber Orchestra, Jan Garbarek, and the Hilliard Ensemble, while Leonidas Kavakos is the soloist in the 1981 Concert for Violin and Orchestra. An extraordinary cast, doing justice to extraordinary music. "Monodia" is certain to be a much-discussed recording.
