The richness, clarity and depth of the music of this album offers a secret and at the same time evident impact. It owns an astounding deep calmness going together with a high level of inner rhythmic agility in its yearning melos.
It has a transitional quality beyond icon and fresco, hovering between the echoes of the shimmering of the winding road of a lived past and the emergence of the whispering of imagined peaceful horizons.
The picture on the cover is from the famous cinematic work THE COLOR OF POMMEGRANATES by Armenian director Parajanov. Parajanov is among the ten highest valued cinematographers of the last century. Born in Georgia, he has a also played a crucial role in Ukrainian cinema. He had a boisterous life and is still influential (e.g.
Lady Gaga, CocoRosie etc.). More later or you can figure out yourself. The film deals with the life of SAYAT NOVA, a famous bard from Armenia. ZARTIR has references to SAYAT NOVA.
I hope i will find someone who translates Levon‘s Armenian language into German… for Klanghorizonte jan 25, deutschlandfunk…
