Levon Minassian & Armand Amar - Songs From a World Apart (2006)

This is beautiful and mystical music that really is like nothing else you'll ever heard! A wonderful merging of the hauntingly beautiful sound of Levon's duduk with the magical orchestral accompaniment of Armand Amar's exceptional musical prowess as a composer. Transposing, calming and expanding music with the evocative thread of Middle Eastern tradition weaving through the melodies. Levon Minassian is a French-Armenian duduk player. He played for the soundtrack of Mayrik and The Passion of the Christ. He cooperates with Charles Aznavour, Helene Segara, Peter Gabriel, Armand Amar and Sting. Hailing from Marseille, France, Minassian began his recording career with a variety of film soundtracks. His big break came during the early '90s when he collaborated with Peter Gabriel on the commercial blockbuster Us (1992) and toured internationally with the British progressive rock icon in support of the album. In addition, he appears on Secret World Live (1994), a live album recorded during the USA tour, and Big Blue Ball (2008), a collaborative album overseen by Gabriel that was recorded primarily during the same era but not finalized for release until many years later. In light of his high-profile work with Gabriel, Minassian found himself in steady demand as a duduk player, appearing on a couple albums a year. He also continued working on film soundtracks, most notably that of the Mel Gibson film The Passion of Christ (2004). As a solo artist, Minassian made his album debut with The Doudouk Beyond Borders (1999). He also released the album Songs from a World Apart (2006), a collaboration with French composer Armand Amar. ----- Enjoy!!! ----- Здесь вы можете слушать онлайн Lévon Minassian, mp3 бесплатно и без регистрации.
