Djivan Gasparyan & Andreas Vollenweider - Hush, My Heart

Go to listen http://ilyovmp3.com/2010/02/28/djivan-gasparyan-ensemble/

Few instrumentalists dominate and define their instrument like duduk player Djivan Gasparyan. In Gasparyan's hands, the Armenian oboe (carved from apricot branches) takes on a warm, spiritual tone that sounds at times ethereal, at others spirited. Until now, we've heard Gasparyan either solo or with minimal accompaniment (namely, his collaboration with Canadian guitarist Michael Brook on Black Rock). But on Armenian Fantasies, Gasparyan performs with his largest ensemble yet, a group of 10 traditional Armenian instrumentalists. The results are mesmerizing. On the "Armenian Suite," we get a catchy medley of folksy love songs; "Kamantcha Blues" is a shorter, more introspective work of improvisation; and "Armenian Romances" focuses on the country's more melancholic songs of longing. With each track, we hear the meditative, shadowy sounds of the duduk, along with indigenous instruments such as the tar (lute), kamantcha (fiddle), and kanon (zither) played at their peak. Highly recommended.
