Many of her recordings are of instrumental works which were originally vocal works. More than likely the kanon was used to accompany the early folk songs or the recitation of epic poems. The kanon, aiype of zither, is an instalment well known in Middle Eastern traditions. Similar to the tradition from which arose the duduk, the kanon was also used to render die ashough tradition in works by the famous twentieth century musician Gomidas Vardapet and the tenth century Armenian composer Khachatour Avetissian, who is credited with developing the Armenian version of the kanon and creating the first body of works for it. The music of the poet and ashough Sayat Nova is also recorded in these songs. Nineteen traditional songs are recorded on this CD which captures the essence of Armenian traditional music. Both Compact Discs reviewed are of excellent quality and would make an excellent gift for anyone.
