The work of Boghos Gelalian, of a screeching style, rich in rhythmic formulas, finding its inspiration at the same time in Amrenian folklore and oriental music, gives a new dimension to Armenian instrumental music. Armenian motifs are always present, in harmony with the modern spirit of his work. Boghos Gélalian’s long experience as a pianist-accompanist, author of numerous arrangements, on the radio and with various folk groups, gives his methodical and scholarly writing a spontaneous and free character. Without a total break with tradition, Gélalian does not delight in folklore, and his work is at the crossroads of popular inspiration and Western influences.
