Armenian National Philharmonic Orchestra // Khachaturian's 1946 concerto contains many Armenian and Georgian folkloric allusions and rhythmic dances like those of the Ashoug. Arno Babajanian's Cello Concerto is permeated by specific intonation rooted in Armenian folk music and folklore. The title of the cello concerto (2022) by the French composer of Armenian origin Petrossian is an allusion to the book of Genesis 8.4, where Mount Ararat is first mentioned.
