    Sad news indeed.
    I saw him once in Lichfield Cathedral and we still talk about that performance to this day.

    The duduk is a simple folk instrument carved out of apricot wood; Djivan produced such an emotionally moving sound and tone from it.

    A mark of the international esteem he was held in is the fact that, in 2008 as a result of his performances, Armenia's Duduk and its music was added to UNESCOโ€™s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

        video not great quality, but the sound is acceptable.
        "The feeling begins" - recorded with Peter Gabriel for the film, The Last Temptation of Christ


        Next track, from March last year, with his son, Jivan. The flame burns on.
