Description:

One of the hottest pianist/composers on the contemporary jazz scene, Armenian-born prodigy Tigran Hamasyan released his ECM debut album in 2015. A mesmerizing exploration of Armenian sacred music by the prodigious pianist and the Yerevan National Chamber Choir. A beautiful work conceived over many years by Tigran, who has a deep interest in the sacred music of his native Armenia and has always been drawn to its "incredibly beautiful melodies," newly arranged by himself for piano and choir from 5th to 20th century Armenian Orthodox music chants, carefully arranged by himself. A beautiful composition for solo piano and chorus. (C)RS
