In commemoration of Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day, Ruzan Mantashyan and Kirill Gerstein perform Komitas's "Antuni." Gerstein is launching a formidable new project entitled Music in Time of War, combining late works of Debussy with Armenian songs and dances of Komitas Vardapet. Accompanying the recording, which also features Mantashyan, Katia Skanavi, and Thomas Adès, is a 170-page book that addresses the historical frame: the First World War and the contemporaneous murder of more than a million Armenians.
