Ara Malikian is undoubtedly one of the most brilliant and expressive violinists of his generation. Possessing a unique style, forged from their origins and rich musical experience, his violin stands as one of the most original and innovative voices in music. Born in Lebanon in a family of Armenia, Ara Malikian began the violin at an early age by his father. He gave his first concert at age 12. An inexhaustible musical and human concern have led Ara Malikian to deepen its own Armenian roots and assimilate the music of other cultures of the Middle East (Arab and Jewish), Central Europe (Roma and kletzmer), Argentina (tango) and Spain (flamenco ), all within a very personal language which come together rhythm and emotional force of this music with virtuosity and expressiveness of the great European classical tradition. In this new album, Ara wanted to make new versions of old Christmas Classics, playing around with smooth jazz and new age styles. A musical delight for everyone.
