Gayane: A Ballet in 3 Acts

Album by Aram Ilich Khachaturian & Большой симфонический оркестр имени П. И. Чайковского & Djansug Kakhidze

Gayane is a ballet in three acts by Soviet-Armenian composer Aram Khachaturian, first performed in 1942. The score blends Armenian folk-derived melodies, vibrant dance rhythms and colourful orchestration within a Soviet-era symphonic framework, and represents a pivotal mid-career work that helped define Khachaturian's orchestral voice.
