H. Goldsmith, Musical America and American Record Guide
In her early twenties Nareh Arghamanyan, winner of the 2008 Montreal International Music Competition, belongs to the promising young generation of today’s fine pianists.
She gets outstanding critics for her performances such as “La Scena Musicale” “From the first chord on, it was clear that she was an artist to be reckoned with. She has a big technique, but her playing was not just about technique-it was also about playing the music. Her playing was as poetic and it was prodigious technically. Here we have a complete artist-at 19! and LeDevoir “Certains se demandent déjà si on ne dira pas un jour Nareh comme on dit Martha.”
