Gomidas Vartabed was largely responsible for rescuing Armenian folk music from oblivion; the songs he collected and arranged are among the few surviving records of a musical culture that was decimated by the Armenian genocide that began in 1915. The composer escaped death, but was deported, and later returned to his homeland a broken man. The music Gomidas transcribed or composed (Vartabed was not his surname, but a designation of his status as a priest) is achingly poignant in itself, and an awareness of the composer's national and personal tragedy makes it even more heartbreaking. A few of the songs are presented in the composer's own arrangement for voice and piano, but most are arranged for chamber ensemble by Serouj Kradjian. The dudek, a native wind instrument with a plaintive sound somewhat reminiscent of an alto saxophone, features prominently in the arrangements. Armenian-Canadian soprano Isabel Bayrakdarian is best known for her singing on the soundtracks for the Lord of the Rings films, and she is a genuinely versatile performer, with experience in the classical and European folk music worlds. She brings a sweet, strong, distinctive voice to these songs. It's obvious the idiom of this tradition is in her bones, and she sings with piercing expressivity. Credit for the powerful impact of the songs also goes to the sensitive, atmospheric arrangements by Kradjian, who is also Bayrakdarian's husband. The sound on most of the tracks is clear, clean, and warm. The album should be of strong interest to anyone who loves Eastern European folk music.

Chronique
Gomidas Vartabed was largely responsible for rescuing Armenian folk music from oblivion; the songs he collected and arranged are among the few surviving records of a musical culture that was decimated by the Armenian genocide that began in 1915. The composer escaped death, but was deported, and later returned to his homeland a broken man. The music Gomidas transcribed or composed (Vartabed was not his surname, but a designation of his status as a priest) is achingly poignant in itself, and an awareness of the composer's national and personal tragedy makes it even more heartbreaking. A few of the songs are presented in the composer's own arrangement for voice and piano, but most are arranged for chamber ensemble by Serouj Kradjian. The dudek, a native wind instrument with a plaintive sound somewhat reminiscent of an alto saxophone, features prominently in the arrangements. Armenian-Canadian soprano Isabel Bayrakdarian is best known for her singing on the soundtracks for the Lord of the Rings films, and she is a genuinely versatile performer, with experience in the classical and European folk music worlds. She brings a sweet, strong, distinctive voice to these songs. It's obvious the idiom of this tradition is in her bones, and she sings with piercing expressivity. Credit for the powerful impact of the songs also goes to the sensitive, atmospheric arrangements by Kradjian, who is also Bayrakdarian's husband. The sound on most of the tracks is clear, clean, and warm. The album should be of strong interest to anyone who loves Eastern European folk music.
