multimedia CDs in Armenian and English.
The collection includes photographs and drawings of Komitas, recordings
of songs performed by him, as well as recordings of best performances
of Komitas' songs by the musical troupes in Armenia.
ôhis unique collection is important not only as a cultural value that
will be passed on to the next generations, but also as a call to the
whole world made ahead of the centennial of the Armenian Genocide. The
album is not intended for sale. It will be distributed to the libraries
of the largest universities of the world. The album is a message to
the coming generations is to cherish and to propagate the immense
cultural legacy that has reached our days.
"Komitas did the same for our musical language what Mashtots had
done for our spoken language centuries before". These are the words
of Paruyr Sevak. It is time to present the musical treasures of this
great Armenian to the world in a thorough and consistent way.
Introducing the rich legacy of Komitas on the occasion of the
100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide has an enormous moral
significance. We should not only commemorate and honor Komitas but
also follow his example and try to contribute to the unity of our
nation and to the realization of national aims by living as humbly,
consciously and righteously as his legacy and his character dictate",
noted VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian.
The "Komitas" album has been issued upon the initiative of the RA
Ministry of Culture. VivaCell-MTS has allocated AMD 25 million for
the realization of the project; the Company has also provided over
AMD 64 million for the program of enriching the golden collection of
the Armenian Public Radio.
