Third album of the Akhtamar Quartet with Cypres, Origins combines classical and folk heritage with contemporary creation, inviting everyone to explore shared stories and universal emotions.

Since its creation, the Akhtamar Quartet has enjoyed intertwining classical and folk music and exploring different cultures. This approach is evident on each of its albums, while promoting a contemporary composer (Eugénie Alécian for Légende arménienne, Cypres – CYP1681, and Judith Adler de Oliveira for Enluminures, Cypres – CYP1684). From Antonín Dvořák to Jelena Dabić, a Serbian composer born in 1982, the music becomes eternal poetry and transports us through the ages.

This is an essential recording for chamber music lovers. It celebrates both the romantic heritage, embodied by Dvořák's mature style, and the opening up to a new generation of female composers. With Anzhamanak by Jelena Dabić, this contemporary piece offers a unique sound experience with original timbres and reveals the full expressive power of the Akhtamar Quartet.
