This release by cellist Mikayel Hakhnazaryan and pianist Lia Hakhnazaryan comes with a note about leaving one's homeland and thus discovering new music and new inner paths. It seems fairly innocuous, yet the players make something powerful and distinctive out of it. The nostalgia part is unusually strong, and some of it is unique to this album; the players include two pieces by the single-named Armenian composer-ethnomusicologist Komitas (Soghomon Soghomonian) that are arranged for the utterly haunting combination of cello and the Armenian double-reed duduk. Try to come up with the most evocative possible image of remembering sounds and places of home, and these two lovely pieces will match it. There are also several other Armenian pieces, including the rarely heard Dream for cello and piano of Aram Khachaturian, whose neglect in the face of the general shortage of solo cello material is inexplicable. As Hakhnazaryan's note suggests, there are also several Western pieces, including Ernest Bloch's From Jewish Life, which fits the general mood and works by Schumann (the Fantasiestücke, Op. 73, transcribed for cello) and Debussy, which breaks it somewhat but receive lively interpretations. The thorny Debussy Cello Sonata is the most distant from the album's core, but the performance is strong enough to stand on its own. There is even a piece for cello and electronics by Carl Vine at the end, emphasizing the poles of nostalgia and new discovery. This is wholly unlike other cello recitals, and it will introduce general listeners to some wonderful music.
