Shichijo, Keiko - Six Dances - Komitas Vardapet

In 1906 Komitas Vardapet wrote and performed a cycle of dances for piano in Paris. It is an exciting and original composition, where the piano appears as his main means of performance for the first time. Keiko Shichijo plays a compelling, playful and enchanting interpretation. All six pieces are based on original Armenian dance styles. Recorded at the Geelvinck Hinlopen Huis in Amsterdam. The piano used is a Steinway Nachf piano, built in 1880, from the collection of Hans Kramer.
