“These artists have composed, arranged, and presented a beautiful collection of a vast literary tradition in this release, and the resulting sound is remarkable.”
“The players on hand are nothing short of exceptional… they enthrall the listener from beginning to end.”
“This album is a wonderful example of the inexhaustible curiosity of Poghosyan, a pianist with a diaphanous and authentic touch, which bears excellent fruit.”
