Divine Art Records is delighted to announce the signing of Canadian ensemble Trio de l’Île for its debut album with a mix of Argentinian and Armenian music. The CD will include Astor Piazzolla’s Four seasons, Gayané Chebotaryan’s Trio and Arno Babadjanian’s monumental Piano Trio, generally regarded as a masterpiece of the genre.
The album focuses on the fusion of different styles bringing forth colorful mosaics. On the one hand, Piazzolla revolutionized the Tango by blending it with jazz and traditional classical music – hence giving light to the Nuevo Tango; while Chebotaryan and Babadjanian harmoniously combine Armenian folk music with the Russian classical tradition.
With three established and classically trained musicians, Trio de l’Île (violinist Uliana Drugova, cellist Dominique Beauséjour-Ostiguy and pianist Patil Harboyan) is a Québe- based piano trio that advocates proximity with its audience and is known for its passionate and rigorous interpretations. Pianist Patil Harboyan has a previous successful album with Divine Art, of Armenian music for Cello and piano (with cellist Heather Tuach – DDA 25075)
The new album is scheduled for release in November 2020.
