We had the real McCoy in Stepan Rostomyan’s utterly transcendent Third Symphony, which began deep in contemplation and built to an instrumental and electronic heavenly choir like what you have not heard, See ecstasy in music? It brought the house down. Definitely the smash hit of “New Beginnings” festival. Michael Timelty (“Glasgow Herald”, November 27, 1989) Atmospheric sounds of the Armenian Church music mingled with electronic strings and piano timbres and the acoustic instruments in a slow and solemn movement that reached a searingly intense climax. Those two pieces rate as the best and the most sincere works so far played in the “New Beginnings” Festival. Janet Beat (“Scotsman”, November 28, 1989) Rostomyan’s Third Symphony-the great popular success of “New Beginnings”- carried its listeners inexorably from its wonderfully atmospheric opening, to the voluptuous, Holywoodish glamour of its heavenly chorus. Jings, I was nearly greetin’ at it, transfixed by the sheer sonic splendor. It had a soul like a calculation. Michael Timelty (“Glasgow Herald”, November 29, 1989) I was most intrigued by the Third Symphony.
