The Art of the Armenian Duduk

The duduk is a wind instrument peculiar to Armenia. It is presented by Djivan Gasparian, one of the greatest masters of this beautiful instrument, who played it in films such as “The Last Temptation of Christ” and “Gladiator”, and the duduk virtuosi Sergei Karapetian and Mkrtich Malkhasian. The music has a haunting, meditative quality, on some pieces accompanied by a dool (drum).
