Remy Franck gives his highest marks to Gevorg Hakobyan’s new Arias of Love & Sorrow recording with John Fisher, Constantine Orbelian, and the Kaunas City Symphony in the Pizzicato Journal:
“an exciting program that is well suited to Hakobyan’s dramatic voice. There is not a aria on this CD where I would say that Habokyan’s voice does not fit one hundred percent, even though he is particularly impressive as a Verdi baritone.… admirably balanced and nuanced in its richness of expression.… is is a fascinating CD of a fascinating singer.”
