A presentation of Komitas songs performed by Hasmik Papian, soprano,
and Vardan Mamikonyan, pianist, was held today in Yerevan. The disc
was recorded in Bavarian Radio in Super Audio CD format, a high quality
compact disc. In the words of Hasmik Papian, in the past the foreigners
were touched by the music of Komitas and now they have the chance to
read the text as well. "If they understand what the song is about,
they will have willingness to learn about our country," Papyan thinks.

Papyan and Mamikonyan plan to perform in France within the framework
of the Year of Armenia in France.

Anyone can purchase the disc now in Yerevan and order it via
internet.
