Aram Khachaturian: Life and Work

The CD Aram Khachaturian: Work and Life is dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the Armenian composer Aram Khachaturian, who lived in the 20th Century and was the first composer to combine symphony music with the musical tradition of the East. The composer’s life and works are presented by means of his letters, photos, a biography, an archive, his contemporaries’ memories, video material and music. Born in Tiflis and spending his childhood in this city where the cultures of the West and the East were crossing, Aram Khachaturian managed to accumulate this heritage and later to create his unique blend of symphony music.
