  Phenomenon of violinist Markov - Turkish Daily News Feb 20, 2005
Markov, the son of a concert violinist father, was born in the Moscow of the old U.S.S.R. He received an invitation at the age of 14 to train under the legendary Jasha Heifetz and immigrated to the United States with his family in 1982, becoming a U.S. citizen in the process.
Katchaturian's "Violin Concerto," to my mind, is one of the most brilliant compositions in romantic music literature, and its moving rendition roused the audience to its feet with a full house on the evening of Feb. 11.
Katchaturian (1903-1978) started writing his concerto in 1938, completed it during the war in 1940 and dedicated it to the great David Oistrakh.

A native of China, the 24-year-old has been in the United States for seven years, at least when he was not on the road somewhere in the world.
The music is derivative of Armenian folk repertoire with highly punctuated rhythms and improvisatory melodies but its attraction lies in the brilliant orchestration and total exploitation of the violin as an instrument.
The orchestra’s role in the Katchaturian was very, very good, as indeed it was in the Shostakovich that followed.

 DoveSong.com -- The Centuries - 20th Century
Until the actual break with 20th Century negative musical tradition by the so-called minimalists beginning in 1960, the power of discord and the persuasion of the serial composers and their proponents was so strong that even those who continued to write music based on tonality incorporated discords in their music.
While much of the music of Russian composer Aram Katchaturian remained pure (he wrote a beautiful violin concerto, piano concerto and the Masquerade and Gayne suites for Orchestra), the music of his contemporaries Prokofiev and Schostokovich was infused with discord, jagged and nervous harmonies and generally unpleasant emotions.
Composers who did not stray much from the path of tonality include Howard Hanson (whose masterpiece of Romantic music is his 2nd symphony), Alan Hovhaness, Ralph Vaughan-Williams, Benjamin Britten, Henry Cowell, Lou Harrison, Hindemith, Neilson, Carl Orff (Carmina Burana and the Shulwerk), and let us not forget Leroy Anderson and George Gershwin.

To this reviewer's ears, organ jazz has a nose of unfiltered cigarettes and scotch whiskey and a bottom of late nights and early mornings.
David Rosenthal, in his tome, Hard Bop: Jazz and Black Music 1955 to 1965 perfectly captures this in saying, “Jazz as 'high art' has always drawn sustenance from jazz as 'folk art' (not unlike most Russian and Hungarian classical music, e.g., Aram Katchaturian and Bele Bartok).
Often it's not clear which is 'better.' The classic comparison is between Duke Ellington and Count Basie, who was less 'highbrow' yet equally sublime....” This collection goes a long way in bridging this perceived gap while maintaining a firm Hard Bop identity.

 HIGH BIAS -- Album Reviews
The violin-heavy quartet avoids the quagmire of seriousness that drowns most proggers, especially those inclined toward instrumentals, by reclaiming a long-lost playfulness.
That originals like "Hot Water" and "Accelerations" stand up to the timeless wit of Aram Katchaturian's "Sabre Dance" is hot fudge on the blintzes.
Long-suffering North Carolina quintet Leadfoot's third album won't make you forget the likes of Down or American Dog—or even Molly Hatchet—but it's solid enough Southern rawk, the kind that makes more sense on stage after a few Budweisers than it does on the stereo during a pot party.

 The Weeping Meadow
Apart from eighteen movies, she has also composed music for a dozen stage plays and ten television series.
Performed by a small ethnic-sounding ensemble that features, among other instruments, an accordion, violin, piano, harp, French horn and a Constantinople lyra, the score for The Weeping Meadow revolves around a central theme that, in its see-sawing motion, is ever so slightly reminiscent of Aram Katchaturian’s Adagio from his famous ballet, Gayane.
It is first heard in the opening track, but it takes several listens to fully “get it”, as its syncopated performance, in an otherwise fairly simply 4/4 meter, can be quite confusing at first.
