Album Leaves - Piano Miniatures
As a true devotee for keyboard instruments Varvara Manukyan plays forte piano, piano and harpsichord. Her deep appreciation for compositions enable her to find and express her remarkable interpretation of compositions. For Manukyan performing means reducing the personal approach, while allowing the composers intention to show through.
Based on her personal interest in the historical context of playing keyboard instruments, Varvara Manukyan was trained on authentic instruments. Therefore, her repertoire embraces the earliest keyboard instruments from the sixteenth century as well as contemporary music. Though Manukyan is a true cosmopolitan, she enjoys supporting her homeland Armenia by spreading the richness of armenian music towards her audience.
