The Armenian orchestra\u2019s playing is stylish and rhythmically finessed, with some especially beguiling woodwind. Eduard Topchjan keeps his forces admirably controlled, allowing space for the violin soloist to shine. There are vibrant and vital passages for the orchestral strings, especially after the soloist\u2019s cadenza \u2013 launched by an exquisite dialogue with the clarinet- and in the Andante sostenuto, where middle strings play plaintively above pizzicato cellos and double basses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Canadian-born Catherine Manoukian is an eloquent exponent of this appetising work. Her tone is pure, with nicely understated vibrato, and her playing throughout is gorgeously expressive. The gentle lilt of Khachaturian\u2019s high-flying melodic lines, not least in the berceuse-like Andante, comes across almost effortlessly\u201e as if the violin were floating on an oriental carpet of air, swayed here and there by gentle breezes, until the spirited finale calls forth a more vigorous tone. All in all, a scintillatingly good performance, splendidly captured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Shostakovich begins in sombre vein, with atmospheric orchestral strings. The first movement, shrouded in mystery, is brilliantly sustained. The solo line comes over admirably, not least when engaging in sad dialogue with dark lower woodwind. A gutsy Scherzo follows, before the intense, varied Passacaglia, to which Manoukian\u2019s involvement and restraint lend added power. The prolonged cadenza is superbly executed and the jaunty closing Burlesque is brilliantly played. All in all, an exciting, beautifully recorded disc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marquis<br>RODERICK DUNNETT<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>***<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe ensemble proved to be a warm-toned, well-disciplined, highly capable body, with, in particular, a string section of burnished tonal sheen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The New York Post<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>***<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe glory of the orchestra is its string section\u2026 This was rich, colorful,fullthroated sound, a choir of sound.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Boston Globe<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>***<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe repertoire was obviously chosen to show the orchestra\u2019s strengths \u2026 it plays Shostakovich and the rest of its program with enormous impact.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joseph McLellan,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Washington Post<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7ce0590 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7ce0590\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/apo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Cathrine-Manoukian-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-60484\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/apo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Cathrine-Manoukian-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/apo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Cathrine-Manoukian-1-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"jet-listing-grid__item jet-listing-dynamic-post-60482\" data-post-id=\"60482\"  >\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"jet-listing-items\" data-elementor-id=\"52257\" class=\"elementor elementor-52257\" data-elementor-post-type=\"jet-engine\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-09a8d7c e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"09a8d7c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f89e8b3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f89e8b3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Album review<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-85e1da1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"85e1da1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCellist Alexander Chaushian is a wonderful artist with excellent technique and musicianship, conveying a wide range of emotions and styles of music.

The Armenian Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Eduard Topchjan is an excellent accompaniment to the cellist, equally capable of evoking many emotions through their technically solid and artistically superior musicianship. Arguably the most enjoyable work on the album is Khachaturian\u2018s Concerto-Rhapsody, with its lush orchestral beginning that gives way to a cello solo which is rather like, unusually, a cadenza at the beginning of the work. One hears a distinctly non-European tonality (somewhat like Indian classical music) with haunting melodies and a repeated, pleading motif throughout the work. It is emotionally stirring, and both the orchestra and soloist bring out strong dynamic and stylistic contrasts. The orchestra manages to play precisely, and yet the sound is still lyrical and smooth.Chaushian is as agile as a violinist, for he makes the cello seem effortless. Suren Zakarian\u2018s piece for cello and chamber orchestra is quite a contrast to Khachaturian\u2018s. From the beginning, with its long, tense, highly vibrated notes, the listener is unclear about the tonality. It\u2019s almost disconcerting, even after the orchestra enters. The orchestra plays a drone tone behind the cello, and sometimes this is quite a trial to hear. Zakarian is working with tone colors and moods, alternating passages where the cello is allowed to sing out (this is quite nice to hear), and low, murky, dark passages. This is no reflection on the musicians, but rather a comment on the accessibility of the piece. The same could be said for moments in Vache Sharafyan\u2018s Suite for cello and orchestra, where sometimes the cello line is so entwined with the orchestra in the first movement that it is hard to hear, and it can sound rather cacophonous. However, the second movement features light, ethereal strings and a liquid, singing cello, and the third movement, a Sarabande, allows the cello to become impassioned and then dramatically drops into silence. The final piece on the album, Krunk (Crane), is fascinating; it introduces the woodwind instrument called the duduk. The entrancing, mysterious beginning creates a sense of melancholy that pervades the work, and the three voices intertwine so smoothly, shimmering. So while some of the music may not be to everyone\u2019s taste, it is still a wonderful album with unquestionably excellent musicians showcasing the best of their culture. ~ V.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vasan, Rovi<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7ce0590 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7ce0590\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"517\" height=\"514\" src=\"https:\/\/apo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Armenian-Rhapsody.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-66544\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/apo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Armenian-Rhapsody.jpg 517w, https:\/\/apo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Armenian-Rhapsody-300x298.jpg 300w, https:\/\/apo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Armenian-Rhapsody-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 517px) 100vw, 517px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"jet-listing-grid__item jet-listing-dynamic-post-60481\" data-post-id=\"60481\"  >\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"jet-listing-items\" data-elementor-id=\"52257\" class=\"elementor elementor-52257\" data-elementor-post-type=\"jet-engine\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-09a8d7c e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"09a8d7c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f89e8b3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f89e8b3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Album of the Week<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6df6a28 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6df6a28\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Independent<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ab74b66 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ab74b66\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">November 2011<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-85e1da1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"85e1da1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThis beautifully performed concert with cellist Alexander Chaushian includes a new work by Vache Sharafyan and also Monograph, an exquisite chamber work by Suren Zaqaryan that begins with an extraordinary three minute piece of free association for cello.

This single-movement work, dating from 1963 and written for Rostropovich, positively drips with the intonation of the Armenia of the composer\u2019 s ancestors- he was actually born in Georgia \u2013though the anonymous notes for this new recording claim that it is in fact less Armenian in spirit than many of his other works. Whatever the case, it is one of those works that clearly has a dimension that relates to extra-European dimension folk traditions at some level, and this is certainly brought out by this powerful playing of Alexander Chaushian. Though it is not heard in concert with any great frequency, there are a number of other fine recordings of this work including more than one by its dedicatee. The couplings here are unique, however; indeed anyone with the slightest interest in twentieth -century music from this remarkable country should not hesitate to invest in this disc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What the music of Suren Zakarian (b.1956) and Vache Sharafyan (b. 1966) have in common with that of Khachaturian, different though their musical languages are, is a powerful intensity. Zakaryan\u2019s Monograph is a dark, brooding work built from the exploration of the interval of a second, and displaying a tremendously subtle handling of texture and colour. The title of Sharafyan\u2019s for-movement Suite for cello and orchestra is perhaps misleading: it\u2019s a substantial work that, while certainly evoking dance in the middle of two movements, is a long- breathed meditation on the passing of time, as the names of the first and last movements, \u201cMattinata\u201d and \u201cPostero die\u201d (\u201cthe following day\u201d), indicate. Its language is less abrasive than that of Zakarian, but it shares a brooding, mystical quality that suites the cello perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An arrangement of an arrangement closes this evocative collection. Sharafyan has taken a version of the old Armenian love song Krunk (Crane), made by the revered Komitas, and reworked it for the duduk, the national instrument, solo cello and piano. It\u2019s hauntingly lovely, the perfect ending to this excellently performed and beautifully recorded anthology of rhapsodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ivan Moody<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"jet-listing-grid__item jet-listing-dynamic-post-60179\" data-post-id=\"60179\"  >\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"jet-listing-items\" data-elementor-id=\"52257\" class=\"elementor elementor-52257\" data-elementor-post-type=\"jet-engine\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-09a8d7c e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"09a8d7c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f89e8b3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f89e8b3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">ARMENIAN RHAPSODY<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6df6a28 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6df6a28\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/apo.am\/reviews\/\">THE STRAD<\/a><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-85e1da1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"85e1da1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAlexander Chaushian is on sparkling form of this highly enterprising and beautifully recorded CD, Khachaturian\u2019s rarely heard.

Concerto-Rhapsody is performed with tremendous conviction, but although this technical tour de force, originally written for Rostropovich, boasts some vintage melodic moments, the score is rather empty, with too much note-spinning. The darker hues of the Monograph for cello and orchestra by Suren Zakarian are far more convincing musically and receive an intensely imaginative performance from Chaushian. Inspired by the concept of the soul in conflict, the work deploys the cello in a high register with shimmering gentle clusters in the orchestral accompaniment. The emotional fervor increases with the cello incanting urgently before ebbing away in a lighter vein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A similar use of harmonic clusters colours Vache Sharafyan\u2019s suite, which with its ingenious allusions to the harmonic patterns and dance forms of the Baroque travels through a kaleidoscope of indecent timbres. Chaushian is again totally immersed in the vernacular and gives a searingly eloquent rendition. Equally enthralling is Sharafyan\u2019s arrangement of Komitas\u2019s Krunk (Crane) for duduk, piano and cello.
