About Concerto

About the concerto

The four movements of this concerto, written in 1988 and first performed in Erevan in 1989 by virtuoso Rouben Aharonian, especially illustrate the expressive fugal characteristics of the great Armenian composer.

There is a superb recording of the work by Russian violinist Ilya Grubert with the Moscow Chamber Orchestra under the baton of Constantine Orbelian.
