Armenia has chosen the correct song to present at the “Eurovision,”
President of the Public Television and Radio Company of Armenia Alexan
Harutyunyan has received the first foreign response from the experts
of this most popular European song contest.
The song (“Without your love”), which was presented to the attention
of the Armenian pubic yesterday, has already managed to become a
subject of controversial views and criticism in Armenia.
“Some complain that Andre is going to present an English song at
the ” Eurovision,” some have found Eastern tunes in the song. The
“Eurovision” is a special song festival, and I have to disappoint all
those who were anticipating that we would present Komitas there. And
let’s not forget that the song has been written by one of out best
composers Armen Martirosyan, and has been instrumented by Murzik,
one of our best arrangers. Besides, national musical instruments have
been used,” Alexan Harutyunyan said in his interview to ” Radiolur”
correspondent.
As for the Eastern tunes, Alexan Harutyunyan noted, “Eastern tunes
exist also in Sayat-Nova’s music.”
