		Furthermore, Khachaturian's music — especially his concertos —; was championed by Soviet and western artists such as Mstislav Rostropovich and William Kapell, and was as common on concert programs both in the Soviet Union and in the West.
		Khachaturian's artistic and political reeducation consisted of a trip back to Armenia chaperoned by a party official, where he was re-exposed to the folk tunes that formed the basis of much of the music that was now deemed formalistic.
		Khachaturian ironically observes (through the voice of narrator Eric Bogosian) that his reeducation included listening to a film score based on "true Armenian music of the people," which his Kremlin-appointed escort did not realize had been written by Khachaturian himself.

		The decree condemned Shostakovich, Prokofiev, Khachaturian, and other Soviet composers as "formalist" and "antipopular." All three accused composers were forced to apologize publicly.

		The outstanding Armenian composer Aram Khachaturian was 19, when, coming to Moscow, he has firstly seen a cello and expressed a wish to study playing “this big violin”.
		Khachaturian was an excellent symphonist; he has worked out his private, unrepeatable orchestral style – colorful, gay, sometimes reminding of the “sunny and hot” pictures by Martiros Saryan.
		Critically analyzing the work of Aram Khachaturian from the position of our time, one can reproach him that he, being an adherent of traditional writing and trying to escape the “exaggerations”, used only the tested range of the expressive means.

		I was privileged to actually hear Aram Ilyich Khachaturian (1903-1978) conduct his own music with the LSO at the RFH in 1977 and still have strong memories of both the superlative conducting and immaculate playing.
		Not hearing his music in concert since then, I thought it would be a refreshing experience to return to the same venue to hear this rather neglected composer again, in a concert celebrating the centenary of his birth.
		It must also be said that the Philharmonia Orchestra were in very bad form, playing in a manner which was both unforgivable and unacceptable: this was some of the worst playing of its kind I have experienced.

		On disc 2 is Khachaturian himself conducting the Vienna Philharmonic in what must be considered a benchmark recording of his Symphony No. 2, known as "Symphony with Bells," which he began composing soon after the Nazi invasion of 1940.
		Khachaturian, Sergei Prokofiev, who regularly and daringly appeared in double-breasted "bourgeois" American style suits, and Dmitri Shostakovich, who had been glorified on the cover of Time for writing his 7th Symphony while leading volunteer fire brigades during the "900 Day" Siege of Leningrad, were charged with "formalism" in their compositions (over-intellectualism, unfit for the masses).
		Khachaturian's recording omits the "rim-shots", opting for a straight rhythmic tattoo, which is far less effective.

		At this stage in his career, Rosand cannot quite generate the whirlwind of sound that placed him in the forefront of his generation, so it is all the more important that he have a strong ally.
		The Khachaturian comes through much better; the Malaysian group has the necessary mechanical precision to bring it off and the recording is generous with the color.
		If Khachaturian's Concerto doesn't provide him as many such opportunities for discovery, he and conductor Kees Bakels engage in a cogent dialogue in the first movement's middle section, and he brings a jazzy cheek to the cadenza's closing passages.

		Ironically, Khachaturian credited the Russian Revolution for providing him with the impetus and opportunity to leave his native Tbilisi, Georgia, for Moscow to study at the conservatory, whereupon he moved swiftly from cellist to celebrated composer.
		Khachaturian was constantly photographed and filmed, even in his darkest moments and on his deathbed, and Rosen has been able to draw upon a visual treasure trove, as well as Khachaturian's writings and the observations of colleagues and relatives to create an exceptionally incisive portrait of the life and times of the composer.
		In the course of the film, Khachaturian emerges as a jovial man, cherished as a friend and admired as an artist by his colleagues.

		Soviet composer Aram Ilyich Khachaturian is undoubtedly among the more underrated composers of the 20th Century (at least in the West).
		Khachaturian himself is seen fleetingly in brief silent film clips.
		Khachaturian’s plight makes for an excellent take on Stalinist Russia where despite loyalty to the USSR, censorship (and often times, much worse) lay just beneath the surface for common citizens as well as artists.

		Khachaturian composed music for Lope de Vega’s comedic play La viada de Valencia for a 1940 Moscow production.
		The Iberian setting immediately has Khachaturian employing elements from zarzuela and from Bizet’s Carmen, apparent in the opening chord of the Intermezzo movement.
		Despite the tragic consequences in the drama, Khachaturian ends with a pompous, tumbling Galop, perhaps a bit of political mockery of Soviet censors.

		At one moment a favorite of Stalin’s, at the next condemned for the sin of formalism, Aram Khachaturian (1903–78) was, along with his friends Prokofiev and Shostakovich, among the most revered and denigrated composers of the Soviet era.
		The core of Khachaturian’s music was overtly Armenian, using its melodies and rhythms, simple and pure, to infuse his ballets, concertos, and symphonies.
		Combining rare archival materials from Russian and Armenian archives with interviews, amazing performances, and family mementos, Khachaturian is a must for music and history buffs.
