""For Gyumri" is Armenian pianist and composer Tigran Hamasyan's third release for Nonesuch. That said, it is also a five-track extension of 2017's excellent "An Ancient Observer" ... Like its predecessor, Hamasyan utilizes the solo piano approach, but augments it in places by wordless falsetto singing, whistling, and minimal electronics. These additions are not distractions, but integral to the works they appear in ... Because of its deliberate similarity to An Ancient Observer, For Gyumri may not be a major work on its own. That said, when considered as an extension of its predecessor, it serves to make an already remarkable statement profound".
