I live in Victoria on the west coast of Canada but was flown to Armenia three times by Aram to record this orchestra in 1998 for a recording at the Geghard Monastery, in 2004 for the concert at Garni and 2006 for this concert at Zvartnots, celebrating 15 years of independence from the USSR. Aram Gharabekian and I enjoyed a wonderful relationship and would often talk late into the night about the arcane and esoteric aspects of music. These concerts I recorded for him and the National Chamber Orchestra of Armenia were high points of my recording career and possibly my entire life. You can imagine how devastated I was to learn of his death in Los Angeles at such a young age. What a loss! He gave his life for music, it seems. I was around 60 then and 80 now and have been retired for 5 years, but still look back fondly on my experience with Aram and the NCOA, not to speak of the National Chamber Choir of Armenia. RIP, dear Aram.

In my view, the best tempo in order to create an elegant, insinuating and passional dance. I've listened to many performances and this would probably exceed Astor's expectation. An excellent interpretation!!!
When i played this as a young violinist this was the performance that our conductor wanted us to emulate. I dont like this song normally, or at least most interpretations of it. So many lack the passion, soul, and intensity that the piece needs to shine, or they lean too heavily on individual virtuosic flourishes, giving you the sense they're so pleased with themselves. Or they're just too damn slow! This needs energy! It took forever for our small group to get there, i dont think the conductor thought we ever would, but the morning of the performance, during the dress rehearsal, everything clicked. Everyone was playing together with a sort of transcendent psychic aura that can only be undstood by those who've felt it. I wasnt looking wt the music or the conductor, it was beyond that. It might have been the best I've ever played the violin, same for everyone else. Definitely a cherished memory.
Quelle tristesse, quelle perte la disparition de ce Maître Aram Gharabekian. Il reste dans mes meilleurs souvenirs. Je prends mon pied quand je regarde ses vidéos
So This is what inspired the World of Goo Theme. Both are absolutely incredible songs. One more month until World of Goo 2! Edit: Never Mind it got delayed to August😅 Was Announced Today Actually. Also R.I.P Astor Piazolla Damn This Song Is Awesome!
