She composed dozens of songs, and she was also known for her brilliant arrangements of music by other composers. These include creating vocal duets with piano of some of Johannes Brahms’ Hungarian Dances. Today you’ll hear one of those featuring soprano Armine Vardanyan, mezzo soprano Anna Mayilyan, and pianist Elen Ghiiragosyan. The link below has more about Pauline Viardot-Garcia’s life and music.
