About
All his great works reveal him being inspired by folk music, Armenian and Georgian in particular, which shaped his thinking as a composer. Gayane, Masquerade and the Violin Concerto (here featuring a bravura performance by Leonid Kogan) need no introduction. Noteworthy too is the sterling delivery of the young pianist Antonín Jemelík in the recording of the Piano Concerto with the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra.
In a series of previously unreleased, newly remastered recordings from the 1950s, Khachaturian appears in the role of conductor, while several unique recordings capture him singing his own songs in Armenian by the piano (Khachaturian plays the piano (and sings) on: Sabre Dance (one version), Garun Yerevan and Zdravitsa).
Soviet composer, conductor and spontaneous musician – the three faces of Aram Khachaturian.
