Gayaneh (Complete Ballet)

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

Gayaneh (Complete Ballet) is the complete ballet score by Soviet Armenian composer Aram Khachaturian, composed and first performed in 1942. The music combines colourful, folk‑inflected melodies, driving rhythms and full orchestral textures across a sequence of dance movements, and it occupies an important place in mid‑20th‑century Soviet ballet repertoire and in Khachaturian's catalogue as a major stage work.
