British leading newspaper the Guardian has referred to world famous Armenian pianist Tigran Hamasyan: “The charismatic young Armenian-American pianist Tigran Hamasyan made plain from the start, his ancestry would always anchor his music however eclectic and westernized it became.
British leading newspaper the Guardian has referred to world famous Armenian pianist Tigran Hamasyan: “The charismatic young Armenian-American pianist Tigran Hamasyan made plain from the start, his ancestry would always anchor his music however eclectic and westernized it became. Hamasyan’s folk references (notably to Komitas, Armenia’s legendary composer-priest) bring a timeless lyrical lilt to the contemporary sound of this new electro-acoustic quartet. The pairing of Hamasyan and Henriksen, meanwhile, brings an unexpectedly song-based seductiveness to an all-improve session including such hi-tech experimenters as Aarset and Bang.”
Previously the newspaper had posted an article dedicated to another Armenian musician - Cellist Narek Hakhnazaryan.
