I'm Armenian born in Athens, Greece and grow up in Beirut Lebanon. I did my piano and vocal Mezzo Lebanon conservatory. When Aram Khatchadourian came in Lebanon, I usher He sign my autograph I and the best signature I have from him and Mrs. Khatchadourian and Russian great violinist. I have 300 signatures , Marie Tcha Kerian Johnson.
Wow! Amazing!
Aram Khachaturian era ruso, hijo de armenios.
Amazing. What an honor
What treasures to cherish! 🥰
I am from Iran and enjoying this piece thoroughly. As you may know,, there is a large population of Armenians living in Iran. I have had the pleasure of meeting and knowing many of them in my life and one could not ask for better folks anywhere. Iranians are blessed to have Armenians as countrymen. True Christians and Humans.
I love min 11 by the way the best.
11th min is festive indeed! Best Regards from a Bulgarian living in Denmark. The next act - 07.Act 1 Scene 1, Lezghinka, (13:43) sounds much like Bulgarian falk music to me.
We have made it a song about Yerevan:))
نظر لطف شماست ممنون🙏🏻
Greetings from Armenia my friend
Wich composition you liked the most ?
Symphonia antartica
One of the most epic and beautiful compositions I've ever heard. Greetings to Armenia from Argentina 🇦🇷🇦🇲
nice one
Totally agree. This is awesome. First listened in my young teenage years and is rehabilitating me beyond my expectations
More with Spain
Khachaturian was especially sovietic
@@Dylonely42 He was just born during those times, there is no such thing as being sovietic. He was a humanoid, he was an Armenian, he was Universal and citizen of the world! His music melodies always have notes of Armenian melodies and beats, if you are not familiar with Armenian culture or music in general You can not know this
Often overshadowed by Spartacus, this is a masterpiece and fully deserves a new production performed internationally in the immediate future.
when was the last time performed internationally? Would love to go see one but afraid I won't even know they make one
Indeed, Gayaneh is an awesome work
@@Whaijorhujishkomunyk Thank you for your reply.
Is it overshadowed by Spartacus? I thought it was a ''pick them' between those two. Certainly, the Sabre Dance is the most famous piece of Kh. music, so I thought Gayenah was most known
This is a great work and I would even go as far as to say that this is comparable to the greats like The Nutcracker Suite
В каком же хопошем настроении тыл Ьог, что создал человека, который потом должен был подарить миру столько красоты.
Этот темп, эти краски, эти армянские ноты, эта чувственность, темперамент завороживают.
Уносят в страну, оде могло происходить такое волшебство.
Спасибо гению Арама Ильича.
Khachaturian’s music is not only music. Also it is great history of many regions.
Greetings from Santa Barbara, USA.
Listening to this always reminds me of the lands, culture and people of Armenia, what a treasure that little country is.
As a side note, Khachaturian's violin concerto is sorely underperformed and underrated, it is truly world class.
Hello from Newcastle England . I love Khachaturian and always find his music both moving and exciting . I would love to see this work performed live , but l don't think l will be so lucky ! But thank you Aram for giving this to us .
Не укладывается в голове, сколько красоты, богатство, сколько национального и в тоже время классики. Это почти не возможно. А его все произведения, одно лучше другого... Слава маэстро, ты всегда с нами.

I have an armenian classmate named Aram Khachaturian too lol, as a joke he told me to google him, and here I am now listening to this great work :)
Hahahaha!! Tell your Armenian classmate from me, he is one cool guy. I reckon he should have more fun today than he might have had if he had been a schoolboy in about 1980, before Google.
Who knows ! Your classmate maybe Aram Junior 3rd or 4th generation.
Billy Moran, lol
lol... I'm Naram xachaturian...Lol...
Aram in Persian = Quite , "Na" Aram = not quite Lol

美しすぎる瞬間が何度もあって本当にやばい。剣の舞しか知られてないのは本当にもったいない。Act1はDQみを感じる部分が結構ある！海外のみなさんのコメントで作品の歴史的な背景を知れたのも貴重でした。
Thank you for uploading this. I feel nostalgie and weep because this is too beautiful and I had played some pieces from GAYANEH when I was in a brass band club at high school 18 years ago!! Love this forever.
Коммент дурацкий, и не поймёшь, чего автор хочет.
So true tho... there are so much more parts of this ballet that are beautiful other than the sword dance. (For instance, Gayane's dance is my fav)
僕もこのアルバムを通して聴いて非常に衝撃をうけました。このジョージア人の指揮者も素晴らしいです。thank you so much for uploading such a treasure love from Kanagawa Japan
@@hokutoshinken3139 Арам Ильич Хачатурян это армянский советский композитор, дирижер. Первое его произведение - Счастье (1939 года), потом Гаянэ и потом Спартак. Если сможете найдите именно "Счастье". Это действительно незаслуженно забытое.
I found out about this composer only today, while watching some dumb commercial TV show. Now I cannot stop listening! This music is out of this world. Thank you Mr Khachaturian.
Stanley Kubrick selected Amur Khachaturian music for portion of his film 2001 (1968).
“Gayane Ballet Suite (Adagio)" performed by Leningrad Philharmonic.
Kinda obsessed with this now. Great composer, sadly under-appreciated in the West
+nekopls I wouldn't say that. Gayane Ballet Suite (Adagio) was popular because of it's use in the film 2001 A Space Odyssey. Also used in Alien and other films.
Hal Watson Good point. I just noticed that I didn't find out about him until I did my own research, whereas other Soviet-era composers like Prokofiev and Shostakovitch are more part of mainstream knowledge in western Europe & the Americas. Also I didn't know what Space Odyssey was until now :P
+nekopls Part of that could be the distinction between symphonies and ballet works. Those who know of Shostakovich primarily think of his major symphonies or quartets. I don't know anyone (including myself) who points to his operas. I feel like those who enjoy Tchaikovsky and Rimsky-Korsakov would naturally hear of Khachaturian, but not necessarily fans of Rachmaninov and Shosty
Zsnakeistaken Makes sense. I used to be a ballet dancer so many of the composers I know I was introduced to through ballet. That often means a disparity between ballets that are performed and revived often (e.g. Tchaikovsky, Minkus) and not so often (Khachaturian). I guess we always knew about Spartacus, as that's popular enough, but Gayane and other Soviet ballets have mostly disappeared, aside from Flames of Paris (albeit an altered version) and Romeo and Juliet. The first of Khachaturian that I consciously listened to outside Spartacus was the Piano Concerto.
Why would Tchaikovsky & Rimsky-Korsakov fans be more likely to know Khachaturian? I don't doubt you, but it's an interesting observation considering the other two you mentioned were 20th century, Soviet Union - like Khachaturian - whereas the others are from the previous era. I'm not the most well-read on music history, just to point out (more of a casual listener). :P
I don't know what you're talking about. He's greatly appreciated everywhere; all over the world.
Beautiful....respect for ortodox Jermenian brothers...

Ամենագեղեցիկ երաժշտությունը մեծ կոմպոզիտորի կողմից։ ❤️
モスクワ放送響の演奏とカヒッゼの指揮が名演を生んでくれた。これこそ名盤だ！アルメニア、ジョージア辺りの政情不安が治まり、のどかで楽しい国々になります様に！
The duet of Armen and Gayaneh before the sabre dance...wow, finally the most beautiful "love theme" you can get from a 20th century composer...
I discovered Katchaturian and this ballet specifically in junior high. I'd troll the classical LP's at my local library on the way home and check out the ones with the coolest covers. In high school the complete Gayane ballet in a 3-album vinyl set would be the single biggest purchase of my young life -- thirty-three bucks in allowance money. Played it endlessly. Still love it!
As a child in 1970s Iran, I had heard excerpts from Gayaneh. Had many Armenian classmates in my high school in Tehran in the early 1980s, most wonderful people. In the 1990s while in the US, I searched everywhere to find the complete recording of Gayaneh but it just did not seem to exist (I did find a complete recording of Spartacus). Thank you for sharing the complete work. My favorite part is at 13:43.
I am from Costa Rica, and we love this work, precius, wonderfull, magical, no words, Pura Vida!!! Aram Khachaturiam,
❤️❤️❤️ from Armenia 😘😘😘
Pura vida!
I played in an opera/ballet orchestra and, believe me, Khachaturian's music is as much fun to play as it is to listen to. We recently performed with Cirque de la Symphonie and two of the acts used Gayaneh -- Lezghinka and Ayeshe's Dance. Spectacular!
I've listened to this ten times now. I spend every day with it stuck in my head and it's now the soundtrack to my life. Not complaining!
love from Türkiye. Khachaturian is Great master
Müzik bizi birleştirir :)
Arminian
@@makyhsmakyhs6766 so what? First of all he was communist. It doesnt matter armenian or other nationality ok.
He was communist, so what, no problem for a the people except you , you are still living in the 20 century, and what about the arminian genocide !
Guys, what's your problem?
He was russian
His original Gayaneh story is about an armenian woman
If he wasn't a Communist he would have been either in jail or dead. The best case scenario he would have had a manual job without any possibility of composing.
His music is beautiful.
If you don't like it why did you click on it? ......just sayin'......
Thank you Alejandro, Gayaneh brings lot of happy & nostalgic memories from my childhood. Aram Khachaturian was a genius ! Greetings from México.
Это шедевр мирового искусства, который мы не забудем!😀
The very best version in a lifetime! Even the great Khachaturian gave his approval for Kakhidze's wonderful performance!
I completely agree. Khachaturian himself supervised this recording, so that give an idea of how good is this version
@@alejov923 so I understand all the details I have 2 other records one ANGEL and the other RCA but this is really superlative extraordinary exccellent in details
The least appreciated and recognized great composer!!! He is much much bigger than the recognition he earned. To me, Gayaneh is probably the best ballet ever written by a human. So colorful, so rich, so different...
Thanks for uploading the whole Gayane, it is wonderful.
Absolutely love this conductor's interpretation with regard to tempo. Most conductors move way to quickly and frantically through this Khachaturian masterpiece losing the passion and beauty it deserves. Bravo to Jansug Kakhidze and the Moscow Symphony Orchestra.
It is a true pleasure to find this audio version of Gayaneh! Thank you for uploading it! Whenever I
hear certain passages of Khachaturian's unique music, it gives me a frisson of goosebumps
across the back and neck. It brings with it the fascination of the land and people, something which makes you ache with its beauty! At other times you want to leap into the air and flow along with every sensuous note! Greetings to everyone out there, good wishes and blessings to all! Music is a gift we can all share and absorb with each of our senses! It goes far beyond words!
Und wir haben das Glück die schönste musik aus so vielen jahrhunderten und Ländern zu hören.
Ich bin so dankbar für diesesn unvorstellbaren Reichtum
i love Khachaturian's music!...
ARMENIA ARMENIA ՀԱՅԱՍՏԱՆ ՀԱՅԱՍՏԱՆ WE ARMENIANS ARE DIVINE PEOPLE PROUD EVERY SEC TO BE ARMENIAN

You Armenians are blessed! Love from North Carolina, United States of America. ❤️
Esta es una obra digna de considerarse como una leyenda , en los años 60 y 70 cuando mi padre me comentaba la música de su gusto está suite de ballet era uno de los enigmas para mí que nunca había escuchado la obra completa, esta es la primera vez que puedo hacerlo y todos estos pasajes que permanecían desconocidos ahora me están siendo revelados y con un equipo de sonido potente y grande como a mí me gusta mucho. Como estar en la sala de conciertos como a los muchos que asistí en la ciudad de México , ahora veo porqué le gustaba tanto a papá y que yo no había podido disfrutar tanto como hoy en la ciudad de Cancún
This music is soooooo. beautiful ..... it touches your soul .. Deep... Where is all the pain and joy ... Thank you 🌹
Debussy and Ravel were always my favorites, but after downloading this, Spartacus and some other Khachaturian compositions, I think he is now my favorite!
Debussy and Ravel are one of my favorites, too, and now I re-discovered Khachaturian.
Almost brought to tears! My mother when I was a little child played his simple piece called Ivan is Very Busy. It lingered in mind for so many years. And now I am rediscovering Khachaturian's other works! I wish I had come to this luxuriant table sooner. Thank you for posting this M. Vidal.
Beautiful, beautiful beautiful, beautiful beauuuuuuuuutttttttiiiiiiiiiiiifffuuuuuuulllllll!!!! it will be beautiful tomorrow, in one hundred years in a thousand years...
bman4621 and what is this comment all about????
Mauricio Forero agreed!
Thanks Valerie Bell!!!

Neumann Jaks-- Vi ringrazio tanto.
Alejandro, un grand merci pour me permettre de voyager dans la lumière céleste de ce grand compositeur.
1:53:48から不思議で耳から離れない。
Listening to this has proven to be very therapeutic. 37:05 to 41:15 is my favorite part of the whole piece.
37:05 - 41:15 (youtube updated now you can directly insert time stamp)
I don't understand why your time markings 37:05 and 41:15 aren't lit up.
Why haven't I heard this before... great discovery! Thank you RUclips, lol. Thanks Khachaturian for awesome music. :)
If you haven’t already done so, try his ballet Spartacus. It would be unfair to say more of the same, but unmistakably the same composer, same style, with all the Caucasian folk elements. It includes the ‘famous adagio’ that several commenters seem to think should be in Gayeneh.
Here is the link for a full performance of this ballet: ruclips.net/video/s9jbn27wIew/видео.html
It’s performed by the national ballet of Armenia, btw.
@@voraciousreader3341 the Armenian orchestra and ballet is not strong like the soviet orchestras
11:00 "The scene of the rug embroidering" might be one of the most vibrant and full of joy for life piece of music that I've ever heard on this little time on Earth. Eternal glory to Aram Khachaturian.
As I read these comments they help me expand my vocabulary to express to myself the fantastic impact to hear this music again after so many years. I thank God to have stumbled upon it again
Great Composer...Masters !...
I've never been to Armenia, but I can feel that Khachaturian attempted to illustrate his nation's folclore and cultural richness through his music, a lot like Villa Lobos did in my country, Brazil
Also a bit of Iranian culture thrown in there too, I noticed. Us Iranians and Armenians are like cousins, love everything about your people and culture. All the Armenians I knew in Iran were very cool people...
The themes of the work have to do with collectivization, universal values of work and loyalty to the community. It works against nationalism and division into ethnic groups as rivals. So it makes sense that the musical traditions are all brought to the table and shared as well. It brings the themes of the story into the composition itself.
This work has a very similar theme, talking about ownership or distribution of good things, to the great play of Bertolt Brecht, "The Caucasian Chalk Circle." In both play and ballet, there is a "rightful" owner to a child, or a woman and child, who does not take good care of them, but abuses or abandons them. The woman and child, who represent the goodness of the earth and the future, respectively, are taken away from the bad owner and end up with those who prove they can love and take good care of them, and bring forth their potential. Standards of who "owns" something are anti-traditional.
@@manthasagittarius1 And yet named for an Armenian martyred saint and abbess from the 4th century, and at the time of the founding of the Armenian church. There is much more history and culture present here to those who "hear" it than you may understand.
Stalin commissioned this work in order to try to maintain the loyalty of the many nationalities of the Caucasus, some of whom were defecting to the invading Germans. Beyond that I perceive no political content in the music. I think the above political interpretation is rubbish. Just be satisfied to enjoy the gorgeous music of the culturally ancient Caucasus.
instablaster
I love Khachaturian. Those incredibly close harmonies make a lot of excitement. Just about all those melodies happen inside of one octave.
This is the most beautiful piece I´ve ever heard.-
Maravillosa música quizás no tan reconocida como debería ser, el maestro Aram supo fundir oriente y occidente en sus obras maestras ,cuando escuchamos a Khachaturian apreciamos musica oriental rica y poderosa llena del floklore de Oriente.
It is just bewitching. Regards from Azerbaijan
Alejandro Vidal, thanks for uploading this. I've listened to this probably ~30 times over the past 5-6 years. Great tunes. Wouldn't have discovered this if you hadn't uploaded!
My pleasure, Tom. Greetings from Colombia.
I was introduced to this work at age 10 yrs , ! I had a 77rpm record of the SABRE DANCE gifted to my parents on MGM label No looking back since then ! Love Khachaturian's works ,!
77 rpm?? Not 78 rpm?
I've never heard the full ballet before. I want an album of this now
I have heard bits and loved them but this is my first time with the whole ballet. It is wonderful to hear it all. Thank you from NZ
GREAT！ From Japan.
astoundingly beautiful people,men and women!!, dancers that rival all,they make ''river dance''seem like kindergarten dances,and I'M IRISH !!, MUSIC SO MYSTICAL
Incredible music. It inflates our spirits and crushes any sadness or despair with just a few bars.
I loved this music very much already some 60 years ago when I was an awakening adolescent; since then I did come in contact with tremendously beautiful music from the 20th century ... and suddenly this beautiful music of Gayaneh by Aram Khatchatourian appears again on the playing list. Well I still like it very much.
i feel the same I listen for the first time when I was 15 yeras old and now I am in my 80 and still I like it a lot with more comprehension and pleasure.
...an timeless masterpiece of art.
Never boring with this great Music!

Se que no entenderas, encontré a Aram por casualidad y lo encontré un genio, saludos desde Chile
The most beautiful ballet music! I have listened since 1980`s
This melody is beyond description , unfathomable and unspeakable admiration
Love from Azerbaijan.
Did you catch "O olmasin bu olsun" in 16 - 20? That's clear plagiat
@@princeabbas1996 Khachaturian used folk melodies of all of Caucasus, stop being so ethnocentric about everything, he goal was to represent all of Caucasus, it is well known he used folk music from various cultures. And uzundara is Azerbajani, he is a world renowed composer who happends to be a Georgian Armenian, that does not mean every piece he wrote is from Armenians. Back then people respected all cultures. it is now that due to stupid wars people hate each other. Without Soviet Russian musical education and exposure, he would not be the composer that he became, in fact he is representative of wider Russian culture if you ask me.
If only more of our people could be brought together through art. Much appreciated from Armenia, neighbor.
@@rosemcginnis914 There are many talented Armenians who respected the culture of Azerbaijan and reflected it in their art and music: Sayad-Nova, Parajanov, etc. Can you show me one Azerbaijani who did the same for us Armenians? None of your artists did that!
“O olmasın bu olsun” by Uzeir Hacibeyli in 16 min
The best recording of the ballet "Gayaneh"! - And the only one, which ist really complete. Dshansug Kachidze is breathtaking in his interpretation!
I heard this version and I believe it is the best.....Fantastic!!!!!!
Հայաստան🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲Armenia
Dance of Nunne and maidens is probably my favorite. The whole suite shines with all the richness of Armenia.
I agree, my friend. A truly superb piece of music.
Stunning music. One of my favorite composers
37: 33 such an incredible lirism. Aram really hit emotions in this part.
Carlos Felipe López Vásquez I completely agree ,The brass section syarys the theme amd during motif transitiom the sting restate and expand the theme for incredible emotion,.
Khachaturian knew his folk roots and stood high in tje ranks for using a full orchestra,
เพลงไพเราะจัง!!! มันทำให้ 2 ชั่วโมงดูเหมือน 5 นาที :)
I met the grandson of Aram Khachaturian in the Sutter Hall dorms at CSUS. His name was also of the great composer. I had he's address in Moscow at one time but lost contact with that dear friend , hoping for a reconnection. D.R.
Bravo enregistrement de grande qualité, formidable l'harmonie de l'orchestre et la direction du chef est souple, ferme mais appliquée! On imagine aisément l'Arménie, c'est magnifique!
This could be the most beautiful and amazing music I have ever heard, or will ever hear this side of heaven.
when I first heard it I imagined my self traveling in the cosmos
Nunes dance and uzundara are my favs!❤️❤️
Thank you for your comment. This ballet has a very colorful and energic music.
Великий композитор !
初めて全曲を聴きました。こんなに長い曲だったのですね。
彼独特の曲の中にも，ロシアの作曲家，チャイコフスキー風やボロディン風の部分があり，
意識的なのか，無意識なのかはわかりませんが，参考にしたのだろうかと想像しました。
出だしは，ショスタコオビッチの祝典序曲風。
とてもよい学びになりました。（これからの作曲家より）
Beautiful music. It has it all in excitement, romance, etc. Wow!! Thanks so much for posting it.
Music Khatchatourian is story of human and the world
And the beat of life some sound is like divine from Paradise perhaps... i Feel like flying through the time and univers cross the seas,clumb,jump ,dance
Happy free i love the Music.
How he built this inspiration abundance,force,e durance,gloire,elegance,courage,perception
Sadness ,happiness, love my mind is singing bethween dream and reality Amazing the beauty and the musical diversity variety of création..
Amazing what the artists can release and how success To communicate of others Bravo j'adore l'art.
Merci
Esta é uma composição magistral digna de um gênio da música! Faz a orquestra inteira trabalhar muito. Há uma atmosfera de magia inigualável.
It's just amazing....
Kachaturian was and is a genius.
He really was a genius. I call him, the "Master".At 132, his melody is haunting, exquisite,music of the soul!
There have been a number of different inclusions of favorite sections in suites recorded over the years. It is amazing to hear the whole ballet! Finally... Up until now I had never heard the whole thing. Beautiful. And I figured out which pieces are in the suites that for most of us has been the only glimpse into the whole work.
For those wanting to figure out which ones are in one of the more usual combinations here they are in the order that the suite of 8 of them selected from two of Khatchaturian's original suites he excerpted from the ballet... which don't seem to be recorded as he set them up. I have them numbered as the tracks are listed above. (but note that #24 and 27 are the same... duplicates but out of order with different names...
Gayaneh/Gayne suite as I first heard it on a 1947 recording by Efrem Kurtz
(a mix apparently of pieces from Khatchaturian's first and third suites... and from the original scoring not obviously Khatchaturian's later 1957 revision)
Sabre Dance - (49 act 3 scene 2)
Dance of Ayshe - (36 Act 3 Scene 1)
Dance of the Rose Maidens - (18 Act 2 scene 1)
Dance of the Kurds (Mountaineers) - (37 Act 3 Scene 1)
Lullaby - (24 Act 2 scene 1).... (same as 27 Act 2 Scene 2, Misforture of Armen (1:01:30)
Dance of the Young Kurds/Mountaineers - (38 Act 3 Scene 1)
Armen´s Variations - (03.Prologue, Dance of the friends) 16:07 - 17:44 (1:37)
Lezghinka (07 Act 1 Scene 1)
Sadly people in the US know so little about Armenia, from the centuries of wars and genocide (due to its geographical location) to the beauty of the land, to the several amazing geniuses who were born and/or raised there. Aram Katchaturian is surely one of those geniuses (but for 2001 & Aliens, his brilliant music might be more obscure than it already is). George Ivanovich Gurdjieff (G. I. Gurdjieff) is another.
Gurdjieff's ideas are wide ranging & impossible to precis in 10,000 words, much less a small paragraph here - search for 'In Search of the Miraculous' and 'The Psychology of Man's Possible Evolution' by P. D. Ouspensky for a substantive introduction - they can both be found as free PDFs.
One of G's greatest admirers was Frank Lloyd Wright; one wonders is Aram knows of Gurdjieff, and, if so, how he views his fellow Armenian.
Thank you for introducing me to George Ivanovich Gurdjieff. He seems to be very interesting. I want to know more about him. I have already made a google search and found some very interesting documents on him.
ok armenians I compart whit you my respect for Gurdjieff he is from another planet,,and Aram is the same they belong to the land of heroes.
Super-romantic music, flavored by Oriental melodies!
Dear Alejandro, thanks sooooooo much for posting this. I love it, such incredible music.
great music from great aram in great time
This is an epic masterpiece I had not heard before ❤🦋
How .. you haven't heard befor about one of the most greatest epic masterpieces of all time !
@@makyhsmakyhs6766 Of course I have heard before. I was referring to this specific version and performance. Being an Armenian how could I have not heard the great composers works.
@@atnahapetian this the best version of the ballet.
it was performed directly after aram ilitch khatchturian revised his ballet at 1957 !
@@atnahapetian best wishes from the Armenian Egyptians 🙏🌹
I'd just like to add: Too much of a good thing can be good after all; as a matter of fact, it isn't enough. 👏
thats why there is a Spartacus as well. but this is best
This is absolutely brilliant, filled with tremendous orchestration and well recorded. Why is this not performed very often if at all? I never hear of a ballet company adding this to their season of programming.
There are two performances here on youtube (Bolshoi and Mariinsky). However, neither of them includes all of this music. I have never heard some of this music before.
@@davemorgan6013 Thanks for alerting me to these other performances. Quite often cuts are made for practical reasons so as not to overtax performers and even audiences.
Gayaneh accompanied the fantasies of my childhood in romanian communism -- thank you Armenia for the dream!
I absolutely adore the part starting at 1:39:13 ! Makes me want to dance and go full Rite of Spring
Georgian conductor, Armenian composer, Azerbaijani fans: what else Gayaneh will be able to do?
Music unites people
P.S. Azerbaijani here
American boyfriend.
He was russian
His original Gayaneh story is about an armenian woman
@@MyNewEra2012 not really Russian, more accurately a Soviet, just like everyone else who lived within the USSR in that time. But he was Armenian by ethnicity, upbringing and culture..
@@arampianist thank you for the explanation! I didn't realize that Armenia was part of USSR, my bad. When I was reading about Khachaturian's life it read "Russian citizen", not "Soviet", that's why I thought that he was born and raised in Russia and he had Armenian roots.
However even though I didn't know this important detail I found it really unfair (but normal during the communism) that originally the main character was Armenian but he had to rewrite it to make her Russian. But then I was born and raised in communistic Czechoslovakia so I know that the Russians were dictating everything.
Best greetings 🍀
My favourite parts/tracks:
Lezghinka: 13:43
Dance of Gayaneh (Act 2, Scene 3/2.3): 1:17:12
Dance of the young mountaineers (Act 3 Scene 1/3.1): 1:38:47
"Shalakho" (Dance of men): 1:53:47
“General Dance”: 2:11:08
What an amazing composition!
Greetings from Brazil!
Absolutely amazing!!! 👏 thanks for sharing
We have very talented and great, world renown, Armenian composers ... I am proud to be 100% Armenian. For those of you who think this is another's music, then you aren't listening to the 'Armenian' in "Gayaneh". Those who are true Armenians will know what I'm speaking about.
Otro ejemplo de una obra "fagocitada" por la popularidad de alguno de sus movimientos (la Danza del sable). Es un Ballet precioso, de principio a fin y debe escucharse de manera íntegra.
