’The album Secrets of Armenia, featuring selected piano works by Kara-Murza, Korganov, and Melikian, is a reflection of the mentality of the Armenian people through the prism of dance and songs that have their origin in everyday scenes of the people’s life.
My favourite work in this album is Emerald Songs by Romanos Melikian for its emotional expressivity and extreme originality, and Melikian’s individuality itself above all through his rare organic unity of poetry and music.‘ – Yulia Ayrapetyan
