	Recording review: Djivan Gasparyan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Ironically, within the Armenian music culture, the sound of the duduk is not considered "sad." Thanks in large part to Gasparyan, the duduk has achieved status as an important classical instrument in Armenian music culture.
		On this latest Network release, Gasparyan appears with a conservatory-trained ensemble consisting of four duduks, kamantcha (fiddle), tar (long-neck lute), kanon (zither), oud, kamani (described as a cross between a kamantcha and a cello) and dhol (drum).
		Gasparyan's Ensemble, his choice of musical suites and this CD are important Armenian folk music statements.

		This series of suites and fantasies is Gasparyan at his very best, composing, improvising and elaborating his sinous melodies in the context of a small orchestra.
		Of course, enough cannot be said about Gasparyan's virtuousity on the duduk, but every single musician in this ensemble is a virtuouso who at the same time plays brilliantly with every other member of the group.
		Djivan Gasparyan is reputedly the best-known musician in Armenia and a virtuoso of the duduk, an oboe-like instrument used mainly in Armenia and neighbouring Georgia.

		The first selection, "Birds," begins with shurangiz, hand drums and spare duduk melodies, as two voices-male and female-- begin to moan then sing poetry of the Mahmoud Moshref Azad Tehrani the most famous and controversial of Persian poets (M. ad) who died in 2006.
		The Ensemble has made this a standard part of their repertoire for a number of years, and its embellishment by Gasparyan adds depth and dimension of the sung voices underscoring their sad, deeply moving quality.
		Gasparyan's voice is high, lonesome, half whisper, half sung.

		Djivan's haunting music has been used in many films, most notably the opening sequence of Gladiator.
		Djivan is considered the master of the duduk, a traditional Armenian wind instrument which (in its various forms) is the only instrument to appear on the album.
		Djivan's ability to overcome the limitations of one instrument and create such a varied and engaging recording is in itself a stroke of genius.

		Gasparyan accompanied by another duduk player -- Vachik Avakian -- but also by a percussionist, Levon Arshakling, on the d'hol.

	Eleven Shadows Music Reviews: 1995
		Gasparyan is the foremost master of the duduk, and somehow manages to pull from the instrument a sound that feels like the human soul laid bare.
		Equally beautiful are Gasparyan's previous releases, "I Will Not Be Sad In This World" and "Moon Shines at Night".
		Ted Hawkins, for many years, could be found sitting on his trademark milkbox, playing songs on the Venice Boardwalk that dealt with the coming to terms with aging, hatred, rejection, and trust.

		It also is played in ensemble, with second treble and bass duduk providing an underpinning drone, often with a solo vocalist, as here.
		Duduk master and singer Djivan Gasparyan was born in the Russian Republic of Armenia and trained in the Komitas Conservatory of Yerevan, going on to teach and perform there.
		Combining traditional Armenian songs and dances with the plaintive ashugs or ballads of the Armenian troubadours, this is a rare and subtle, uncommonly meditative work.
