Re: [ARSCLIST] Komitas
Years ago I believe there was an ARSC presentation on these or, perhaps, on
at one of the Etho organizations.
There is a complete Komitas edition publisted by MK in the 1960s. and a lot
of bios in Russian.

Subject: [ARSCLIST] Komitas
Can anyone give me a little detail about the provenance of the cylinders
made by
Komitas in Paris in 1912? Mainly what I'd like to know if these were
made available
commerically as cylinders or were recorded privately and belong to a
collection. The
Traditional Crossroads CD release is unclear on the matter - they just
identify the
recordings as "cylinders."
