On this first disc of a three-record set, piano compositions by various musicians who have left a mark on the history of Armenian music are sampled. Among them, Komitas will surely survive the test of history; Sayat Nova is already firmly established as the Armenian troubadour. Some probably will be forgotten, others will assume a place for their historical role, and still others will be remembered for achievements other than their contributions as composers. (The two remaining records in the set will represent contemporary Armenian composers in the diaspora and composers in Armenia.)
