Description
Cellist Narek Hakhnazaryan rose to international acclaim after winning First Prize and Gold Medal at the XIV Tchaikovsky Competition at age 22. Praised as "dazzlingly brilliant" (The Strad), he has since performed with leading orchestras worldwide and earned recognition as an Honored Artist of Armenia.
For this album, Narek Hakhnazaryan has selected works that showcase the characteristics of cello playing: its tonal warmth, emotional depth and versatility. The interplay of original works and arrangements has resulted in a program that sees the cello as a unifying voice - inspired by the figure of the medieval minstrel in Glasunov's Chant du menestrel Op. 71.
