2001 The Art of Armenian Duduk - Djivan Gasparyan

Gasparyan was born just outside of the nation's capital city of Yerevan, first picking up the instrument at age six. After joining the Tatool Altounian National Song and dance Ensemble in 1948, his first professional engagement was as a soloist with the Yerevan Philharmonic Orchestra; Gasparyan later went on tour extensively throughout Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and the United States, and in 1973 was the first musician given the honorary title of People's Artist of Armenia by the nation's government. just one tip: Did you see the Scorcese's movie called "The Last Tempation of Christ? Ok, if you love it the Peter Gabriel's soundtrack, (Obviously I did) was because of the armenian instrument called "duduk", wich Gasparyan knows perfectly.
