PIANO WORKS ARNO BABADJANIAN (1921–1983)

“Only musical ideas inspired by passion can truly move the listener,” wrote Arno Babadjanian. This Armenian pianist and composer followed a fascinating musical path at the crossroads of multiple influences. His work bridges folklore and popular music with all the major musical trends of the 20th century, from Bartók’s rhythmic writing to Schoenberg’s dodecaphonism, with jazz and even rock’n’roll leaving their mark.

Arno Babadjanian was born in Yerevan in 1921 and died in the same city in 1983 from leukemia. He showed musical aptitude from an early age. After entering the conservatory at age seven, he wrote his first composition, The Pioneers’ Waltz, just two years later. Gifted with an excellent memory and outstanding sight-reading skills, he studied with Armenian composer Sergei Barkhudaryan (1887–1972). Babadjanian then continued his training at the Moscow Conservatory in Konstantin Igumnov’s class (1873–1948), deepening his knowledge of Bach – whose counterpoint fascinated him – as well as Beethoven, Chopin, and Rachmaninoff. After graduating in both piano and composition in 1948, he returned to Armenia to take up a teaching position at the Yerevan Conservatory. His catalogue includes about twenty works for solo piano or two pianos, several chamber music pieces – including his famous Piano Trio in F-sharp minor, premiered in 1952 by violinist David Oistrakh, cellist Sviatoslav Knushevitsky, and the composer himself at the piano – and various orchestral works.

Among them are the Poem-Rhapsody (1954), the piano concerto (1944), the violin concerto (1948), the cello concerto (1962), and the Heroic Ballad for piano and orchestra (1950). Babadjanian also composed for the theatre and ballet, wrote film music such as The Song of First Love (1958) and created songs infused with Armenian folklore. [..]
