Djivan Gasparyan

[ardenik]

Pff! All overrated people...

with ALL due respect, and more, for djivan gasparyan... because i know his duduk playing could do the same to those guys.. but if djivan heard one of joe farrell's flute solos, which im sure he has, his jaw would hit the floor....

I have 2 CDs by Djivan Gasparyan. I also bought the Gladiator soundtrack just because it featured the duduk.

It's great.

I think the major difference is the duduk is made from the wood of an apricot tree. Am I right?

Bulgarians also use DUDUK,they call it DIUDIUK(Bulgarian folk musical instrument).IT's made from ash-tree, cornet tree, sycamore or cherrytree. DIUDIUK and DUDUK the same musical instruments.

What about Andreas Vollenweider and his new album <Cosmopoly>? absolutely astonishing.Music for the soul.

His opinion about Givan:

*And you did have faith, undoubdtedly, at least from what we hear on the album. But now, please, could you sketch a little portrait of your most famous guests: starting from the great Djivan Gasparyan...

"Oh, the "old" Djivan: what an extraordinary musician! I had met him in person many years ago, at the times of his first "official" recording. He played "duduk" (the small Armenian flute made in cherry-wood briar) with an intensity that was spasmodic to say the least, and he managed to draw from it emotions at the pure state, sounds that are very near to the human voice: a total ecstasy, indeed! At the end of the concert I went to meet him in person, and there I discovered that the man was, if possible, even greater and more charming than the musician. A real miracle in flesh and bones!".

Yes..my jaw has also dropped....from all that yawning.
