Oor es Mayr • Soprano Isabel Bayrakdarian is internationally recognized for her shimmering voice and her accomplishments on the stage and the screen. For her newest project, she has chosen to create a hypnotic album of Armenian sacred music, beautifully displaying a spiritual aspect of her musical persona. • This project was conceived by Bayrakdarian as a gift to God for sparing the life of her mother. The whole album is a family affair- her husband arranged the works, her brother plays ceremonial percussion, and her two sisters join her to form a vocal trio on several of the tracks. • “The evening really belonged to Bayrakdarian, the satin beauty, whose voice carried all before it. No, that doesn’t say it all: Her voice is one of the most engaging and congenial in the world today.” (Ottawa Citizen) ALSO AVAILABLE: DE 3328 013491332826 DE 3420 013491342023 DE 3421 013491342122 DISTRIBUTED BY RELEASE DATE: 10/14/16 NAXOS OF AMERICA | NAXOS OF CANADA | NEW RELEASE 46
