Galan Trio - Pereira, Bramel, Kennedy, Haladjian, Vorobyov & Aharonyan: ARARAT (Works for Piano Trio) (2022) Hi-Res

ARARAT is the fruit of an association between six composers from Armenia, Portugal, Ireland, America and Russia, and the greek musicians of the Galan Trio. This studio recording made in Athens invites us on a mystic journey in Armenia.
« The story of Noah’s Ark, stranded on the slopes of Mount Ararat after long, aimless wandering. The most important thing in this story is hope. To keep hoping even when everything has sunk, disappeared, and nothing can be seen. But somewhere there is a mountain on whose flanks we might rest. Ararat is a symbol for all who believe in a life powered by indomitable hope. I got the idea of a thematic piece, Six Perspectives of Mount Ararat, in which each composer would compose a variation on a theme. It is interesting to note that, in Armenian, every component of the word "Ararat" has a meaning. » (David Haladjian, the instructor of this project)
