Title: Channel of Rare Armenian Music
Post by: kyjo on March 25, 2013, 11:47:46 pm
I was quite pleased to come across this rather small but wonderful channel of rare Armenian music: http://www.youtube.com/user/Armen1491/videos?flow=grid&view=0

On this channel you'll find music in all genres (operas, symphonies, concertos, chamber music and songs) by Armen Tigranian (1879-1950), Arsen Harutyunyan (1980-), Avet Terterian (1929-1994), Aleksander Spendiarov (Spendiarian) (1871-1928), Jivan Ter-Tatevosian (1926-), Edgar Hovhannisian (1930-1998), Grigor Egiazaryan (1908-1988), Haro Stepanian (1897-1966) and, of course, Khachaturian. Except for Terterian (whose music is powerful but difficult) and Harutyunyan, all the composers featured on this channel write in a tonal, melodic style. Spendiarov, a late-romantic, is an especially fine composer whose orchestral music can also be found on the channel of robt0007.

robt007 is also a great channel. I just wish there was a way of browsing channels without constantly being returned to the latest page and having no way of getting directly to the earlier pages.

I totally agree-that is quite frustrating! Robt0007's channel is not only valuable for the music its owner uploads; I discover much rare music by seeing what videos he/she likes and what channels he/she subscribes to. Whoever runs this channel makes great discoveries, that's for sure!
