[sireli82]

This is the best version of "Dle Yaman", just perfect....

Bravo Isabel!

[DARZAMAT21]

Hermoso! Precioso!

[kentavr903]

Наша знаменитая землячка является ведущей оперной певицей Канады.

[kentavr903]

Это самое потрясающее исполнение Dle Yaman,которое я когда-либо слышал.

[HexagonalBolts]

Is there anywhere I can buy this song? Any album?

[HexagonalBolts]

Beautiful

[MarineM1]

Flora is the best :)

[zarmanazan]

Flora should lose 150 pounds, then we'll talk :)

[MarineM1]

@zarmanazan hahah you're pathetic, I'll tell her. And we will talk whenever this singer learns to sing

[zarmanazan]

@MarineM1

Oh This singer? She has Metropolitan Opera, Covent Garden, La Scala, Chicago Lyric , and the NY Phil as some of her places of success.That is, if you know where those places are. Big Bang Flora? Did she learn to sing at your wedding or son's baptism ? :))) Go educate yourself Marine boat.

[bfdpowers]

Where can one find a recording of this?

[Parounak]

Just PERFECT.

[ussak1]

It's nice that english subtitles are provided.....She really sings this very well!! Bravo!!

[EsatBrahimLodi]

Superb. Beautiful.

[VartanMarkaryan]

Isabel sings it the best, she makes you cry with her beautiful voice and you can feel the pain through her singing

Beautiful

[aguyfromnorth]

Beautifull voice and song.

[barrybrami]

If there is such a thing as heavenly music, this is the one. Just amazing.

[167sourisverte]

This music really expresses the pain of human kind as a result of all the hate in the world. It is on an individual basis that we will tame the racism and the oppression on this planet. We have a lot of work to do!

[MissIndeterminate]

Her voice is impossible to describe with words, just amazing

[ars83yt]

Great!

[asisecanta]

This music is simply magical: so simple, so emotional, so well-performed. Beyond reality.

[Crusty2006]

Sych a fantastic song and a graceful and sadening voice. Truelly an historic piece of music.

5/5

[completelyyoung]

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out what happened ! But we know! Someday as all things have a way of reversing,Turkey will suffer for all the genocides against Armenians, Assyrians, Greeks,Bulgarians, Romanians, Serbians, Aromanians,Albanians,Macedonia­ns,Hungarians and God knows how many peoples and cultures they've destroyed in 1000 years.I will not respond to aggressive comments at all so don't waste your time by writing offending comments ;) WE NEED PEACE !

[canimulkem]

Do you want Turkey suffer??

If you look at the past you will see many nations has done things that they are not proud of. But it is very evil thought to wish their grand children to suffer. And why do you think you will receive aggressive comments? because you know; you said something very hateful.

[canimulkem]

We do also want PEACE. But we can not have peace when there are hateful people like you in this world.

We are not Ottoman Empire or any other empire has done wars around the region. We are a new country of republic of Turkey and we have no problem living peacefully together with our Armenian sisters and brothers.

[canimulkem]

Tabi size katiliyorum, keske halklarimiz beraber olsaydilar, birlikte yuzyillardir yasadigimiz gibi yasamaya devam etseydik. Turkler ve Ermeniler birbirlerine cok yakin bir ulustur. Fakat bizim halklarimiiz dis gucler tarafindan birbirlerine dusman edildi, turlu oyunlar oynandi.Bundan sonra o oyunlara gelmeyelim. Su anda Turkiyede 70.000 civarinda ermeni vatandasimiz var ve sanirim 40.000 Ermeni daha basvurmus

Biz beraber olmaktan mutluyuz. Ermeni kulturune saygiliyiz.

[canimulkem]

Even though there is a cold feeling between our nations;

I still think our nations share the same feelings of sorrow and pain.

I can understand the words yarin, yaman etc. Sound of duduk also reminds me sad folk music of Anatolia.

Beautiful touching song!

God bless all innocent loss souls of any nations

I hope future will be peaceful.

It's very beautiful and have no words to describe how much I loved it.

R.I.P. 1,5 mill. inocent victims of ARMENIAN GENOCID.

[pianouch]

Her version of: Dle Yaman is the best, I think!^^

I really <3 her soprano voice! ^^

[FameWithoutPurpose]

Is this available as a CD recording anywhere?

[annastolichnaya]

I've been searching but haven't come up with anything, I don't think there is one :(

[alechar]

This video is from the DVD "A long Journey Home". You can buy it from Isabel Bayrakdarian's website or Amazon. I don't think this song is on a CD.

[annastolichnaya]

Cool, thank you :)

[Scherzo567]

what was the name of this duduk quartet?

[annastolichnaya]

The Minassian Duduk Quartet

[Scherzo567]

Thanks!! such beautiful music...

[melodylemon]

[ayjordnur]

beautiful, touching song. @--)-------

[MRV1939]

God bless you Isabal. you make me proud .I thank the noble Armenian people.

[clipmaster2000]

im not a whimp or anything like that but this song and pictures made me cry.

[hyethga]

That makes you a brave human being, anything but a wimp.

[MidEasterner]

Tears are beautiful - only the strong can weep for their lost brothers and sisters.

Peace to ALL Armenians. Peace.

[evolution031680]

Peace to all people, period--we are all brothers and sisters who are better off united than divided by man-made boundaries.

[tidra442]

yes i do agree with you in fact look at the 4 guys, they are well known for many murders and the whitch with that aweful voice is the real mind behind this bloodthirsty gang; soo fearful, i wouldn't want to run into them!

But seriously, get real!it's just a great song performed by internationally recognized artists; but maybe then YOU just don't know them, so maybe YOU should get yoursel some EDUCATION! so that U don't go posting totally missplaced comments like this!

[dhindoian]

You are fucking evil. Get your facts straight and read up about how the Armenians fled their homeland because a bunch of Turks destroyed their homes and killed their families. Including mine.

Go fuck yourself and if it bothers you so much don't listen to Armenian folk songs....C*NT...

[Wiilovewii]

While it is a terrible terrible incident calling it a genocide is far fetched!

[newdawn20]

I think you are truly a beautiful soul for thinking this way...

Those man made boundaries cost me the one I love... Anyone that follows those boundaries will not reap the benefits of this wonderful Life :)

Good for you for telling us how you feel.

[newdawn20]

btw, this was supposed to be a reply to

evolution031680's comment, I'm not sure if it worked out that way :)

AND... Isabel...is wonderful.

[evolution031680]

Thank you for your kind words; we have far more in common than many realize. The more we understand each other, the more empathy we will feel; the more peaceful we will be.

Check it out here:

nonesuch(dot)com/artists/isabe­l-bayrakdarian

[win081]

Thanks for the information.

[mghassemlou]

This has to rival Evenstar for the beautiful sound.

[jemseg1]

The dvd is "A Long Journey Home" and it is available from Stormy Nights Productions in toronto ...

[DoEyeWin]

Beautiful! Wish this was available in a proper mastered audio, I'd love to own this.

And Yetagan, I'm just an Anglo Aussie, but I've studied enough M.E history to know (because I'm outside the propaganda) to know that Turkey's denial of the Armenian genocide is one of the saddest brainwashings of modern history. I know and love many Turks, but they are scholars who can separate their patriotism from what they know is deeply wrong: the propaganda of their government.

[laguys818]

Why is Turkey paying so much money do deny it? Why is Turkey pumping nationalism into its people? WHY does Turkey enforce a law prohibiting any word against the government? WHY is there a law on "insulting" Turkishness?

Face it- Your government is HIDING something!

The genocide is not a lie- 99.9% of today Armenians are decedents of the survivors.

[yatagan817]

Turkey is paying so much money because we don't have lobby protection our interests, so we have to buy it.

And the reason, why Turkey is "pumping" nationalism into Turks ist to keep them from becoming islamists. When Atatürk founded Turkey he knew that he had to infuse Turks with Nationalism in order to diminisch the Influence of Religion/Islam to creat a modern nation state. The law against insulting Turkishness is part of this. This has nothing to do with you Armeniens.

[yatagan817]

And I'm not denying that many Armeniens died during the deportations, due to starvation and also massacres, what I'm denyin is that there was an intention to exterminate the Armeniens and that the massacres were planned and ordered by the government rather than kurdish bandits who were not under ottoman control at that time and who were competing for the same area with Armeniens for several hundered years.

[laguys818]

arkadas, I don't want to fight. All I can tell you is to look into sources and research outside of what the Turkish government has told you. If you want true facts about what really happened then you need to research both sides of the story. Never have full trust in ones government.

[yatagan817]

I'm not looking for fight either. And I'll do the research beyond turkish sources on this matter as soon as I've got a litle time. And I hope you'll do the same.

And for what it's worth, I'm sorry for your families loss!

[Wiilovewii]

so beautiful and sad :(

[sputo77]

it's touching and sad. VIVA ARMENIA!!!

[yatagan817]

I love this song, even if I don't like you Armeniens.

[suziik]

I would not even comment on this, but your ignorance baffles me. You wouldn't dare look for and listen to the most beautiful Armenian musical piece if you didn't like Armenians. To love this song is to love the culture that gave birth to it!

[laguys818]

Your great grandmother is probably secretly Armenian but you've been conditioned to hate Armenians. Yet something from within calls you back to your routs.

Oh ya- secondly-- what century are we living?

In todays day and age- racism is a sign of unsophistication.

[yatagan817]

I don't think that my grandmother or anyone else in my family was Armenien. And Secondly I am not a racist. I just don't like you because you turned upon us on our most desperate moment and commited unspeakable atrocities and ended a centuries old peaceful coexistence. And now you are putting all the blame on us Turks.

[laguys818]

My great granfather was the only survivors of the "deportation" of Armenians in 1915. His family was robbed and killed in front of his own eyes. As my great grandmothers family marched through the Syrian desert- she was saved by a Turkish woman---- but the rest of her family was shot and thrown into a river. My other great grandmother's brother was hung for helping Armenians escape the march. etc... Basically what I'm trying to say is: Tis is not Bullshit. WE are the decedents of the survivors

[hirant12]

when i look at this historical plaice is destroy im all ways craying no bodys no howe much taime my people spends taime too build this historical thnks mongol thay dont know howe is hard to mike one of them any way one days will jesus christ bring justice fore what hepening too us in 1915 i hopee vivaa hayestannn god bless all of you

[andi7580]

what languange is this ?

[titer2000]

It's armenian,and every armenian understands what the song says, subtitles are translated correctly.

[trans642]

It is Eastern Armenian Dialect, To win081: it is not ancient armenian (Krapar).

[nanioushka]

vsdahes vor Krapar che?

[nanioushka]

oh gue neres! gishdes Krapar che! you're right it's Eastern Armenian!

Win: it's Eastern Armenian forget what I wrote in the PM! I checked the descriptions and read the Lyrics and it's not Western/Krapar Armenian:)!

[win081]

Thanks for the verification, Nanor!

love from your uncle in Beijing

[4yrentertainment]

[Vakant]
