Gayane Suites nos. 1-3

Album by Aram Ilich Khachaturian & Санкт-Петербургский государственный академический симфонический оркестр & Andrei Anikhanov

Gayane Suites nos. 1–3 are orchestral suites by Armenian composer Aram Khachaturian, arranged from his 1942 ballet and first published in 1943. The suites feature bold, rhythmically driven orchestration drawing on Armenian folk-influenced melodies and Soviet-era classical idioms, and they occupy an important place in Khachaturian's output as accessible examples of his dramatic symphonic writing.
