Juno Award Nomination – Classical Album of the Year: Vocal or Choral, 2018
"(Bayrakdarian's) voice is one of the most engaging and congenial in the world today."
- Ottawa Citizen
Soprano Isabel Bayrakdarian, acclaimed internationally for her glittering accomplishments on both stage and screen, presents a hypnotically alluring collection of Armenian sacred music, a more spiritual aspect of her multifaceted persona. She conceived this project as a heartfelt gift to God for sparing the life of her mother and the entire album is very much a family affair. Her husband arranged the pieces, her brother plays the ceremonial percussion instruments and her two sisters join her to form a vocal trio on several tracks. The spellbinding programme, scored variously for solo and ensemble voices, cello and women’s choir, will take fortunate listeners on a deeply meditative journey of the soul.
