"I've collected from various sources (2 books on CDs and 3 Soviet ottsifrovanye records from the 50-60 years) 9 tracks. Apparently, it is no exaggeration to say that this is the first solo album, ofthe great duduk player. :-)
The founder of modern Armenian style of playing the duduk, Madoyan opposed pretentious eastern melizmatike, adopted at that time, more rigorous, but no less expressive style of Armenian folk songs. He expanded the repertoire of Duduk, performing folk songs and mugham, and dance tunes. Madoyan emphasized that the duduk is perfect for the performance of dance music, not just for the music of mourning.
One of the most beautiful melodies of the Armenian "Siretsi yares ram" was written by him.  As a soloist with the orchestra of folk instruments with the Yerevan Philharmonic, he worked on radio and touring throughout the Soviet Union and abroad, many recorded Madoyan, and where ever these records are, and hopefully, we will ever hear them one day.~ hachik"
