About Quintet

Unusual blend of sonorities

This quintet, written in 1998, is a chamber music work featuring various instrumental voices, like piccolo/flute, tuba, vibraphone, and contrabass, developing from within a tense and dramatic piano part. This unusual blend of sonorities offers a wide scale of powerfull and virtuosic musical effects with strong expressive colors.

Vartan Adjemian is a master in the use of historical Armenian musical roots for declamatory instrumental solos within the context of rich contemporary chords and great rhythmical structures.
