Scotsman: Five Stars for Isabel Bayrakdarian's "Gomidas Songs" and
Singer's "Bewitching Power"
Gomidas Songs, Isabel Bayrakdarian's 2008 Nonesuch debut and a Grammy
nominee for Best Classical Vocal Performance, rates a perfect five
stars in a review in The Scotsman. Music critic Michael Church writes
of the collection of songs by Armenian composer Gomidas Vardabet ("a
composer of genius," says Church): "What we have here is a series of
his songs with classical instrumental arrangements, sung with
bewitching power by the Armenian-Canadian soprano Isabel
Bayrakdarian. The accompaniment'by an ensemble led by Serouj
Kradjian'is perfectly apt."
