"With the voice of an angel, Miss Zindarsian pays homage to her family and her Armenian heritage with this collection of seductive melodies. As a non-Armenian, and someone who enjoys owning very few recordings of soprano voice, I was caught off guard by the beauty of these songs, and even more so by the way she sculpts the melodic lines and lyrical phrases into an end result that is nothing short of captivating. The Armenian language is not as inherently musical as Latin or Italian, but in these recordings, the artist weaves the words in a delicate and graceful manner, enabling the audience to quite literally feel the authors' (including members of the Zindarsian family) love of their heritage, faith, and family. Magical talent revealing a magical people with a magical heart. Most recommended."
