I listen to the great music of Alan Hovhannes some 40 years ago including this Prayer, this is the most rewarding and enjoying because coming from a large Orchestra and great conductor. my previous CDs were from small orchestras. Armenian State Symphony Orchestra? Thank you
Listened to this piece last 30 years, but never such beauty before. This sounds like I am listening to this piece for the first time, this performance surpassed all previous recordings that I know of. Thank you Narek, and best of luck to you.
