The first nation to embrace Christianity, Armenia has developed a wealth of Christian liturgical music. Here, on CD, the electrifying magic of the choir of the Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem is captured chanting the traditional Nativity music as performed every Christmas in Bethlehem, as well as a selected anthology of 19th century Armenian chants. Directed by his Beatitude Archbishop Torkom Mannogian, Armenian Patriarch of Jerusalem.
