Four vinyl records were produced in the 1960s by Anahit Tsitsikian.

“Art Pieces of Armenian Composers Written for Violin and Orchestra”

This recording included new pieces by young composers. Two of them, “Rhapsodies” by Edward Baghdasarian and “Concerto-Poem” by Erik Harutyunian, were dedicated to Anahit Tsitsikian as the co-author and first interpreter. It was recorded in Moscow (USSR) at the House of Records for Radio and Television- with the orchestra of the Radio and Television Corporation. It was recorded under the leadership of the conductors Igor Blazhkov and Maxim Shostakovich. In an annotation to the record by well-known Moscow music expert and editor of the

“Soviet Music Encyclopedia”

I.M. Yampolsky wrote, “In these works, the deep charm of Armenian melodies comes alive with the distinct foundations of the harmonious mood, sunshine-like coloration, whimsical rhythms, and the ornamental manner of variation that is reflected in the rich mastery of instrumental texture. A. Tsistikian excellently transfers the emotional richness, colorful spectrum, warm lyricism and the boiling rhythms of the music of Armenian composers.”

“Ancient and Modern Melodies of Armenia”

This album included Armenian music from the Middle Ages up to the modern day. It was performed with the unique ensemble of a violin and organ (Artur Adamian-organ). It was recorded in Riga at the Dome Temple. The last two records were collections in which Anahit Tstsikian played the “Concerto-Poem” by Erik Harutyunian together with other performers. Her records were given high praise by Soviet and foreign critics from as far away as Japan. An unexpected letter came from Master F. Fujito, head of the Japanese Publishing Association and author of the “Who is Who in Music” Encyclopedia. He expressed that he was so charmed by the masculinity of the sound of the violinist that he decided to enter the performer’s name into his encyclopedia. Amusingly, he was absolutely sure that the performer was a man. In his letter to the composer Erik Harutyunian he wrote, “Please, ask Mr. Anahit Tsitsikian to send us his biography so that we can enter him into the next edition of our encyclopedia.”
