Баграт Баграмов
Со статьи о Баграте Баграмове(1850-1939) начинается энциклопедия дудукистов в буклете ЮНЕСКО, посвященном дудуку. Хотя из следующей статьи не очевидно, что он сам играл на дудуке, а сказано, что он был певцом и аккомпанировал себе на барабане. Тем не менее его записи для Грамофонной компании - это самые старые записи игры на дудуке, которые мне довелось найти. Интересный стиль у дудукистов, всю дорогу играют круговым дыханием и дудуки звучат как волынка или сардинская лаунеда.

Hampe's route in 1909 was typical of that taken by the other recordists, and he recorded several musicians who had been recorded before and would be again. Bagrat Bagramov, a singer from Tiflis for example, had already proved himself popular through records made on previous trips, and so in 1909 recorded 30 titles, significantky more than most other musicians. Accompanied by two duduk players and known simply as Bagrat, he recorded four instrumentals, with himself playing hand-drum, and 26 songs; nine are sung in Armenian, seven in Georgian and ten are Persian-Tartar. Tiflis was known as a particularly cosmopolitan city at this time, and the collection bears this out. Armenian and Georgian musicians were willing and able to play Armenian, Georgian or Azeri music, as musicians such as Bagrat demonstrate. Azeri musicians on the other hand, such as the incredible singer Dzhabbar Kariagdiev, apparently concentrated on Azeri music. Like Bagrat, Kariagdiev was obviously highly regarded by the Gramophone Company, recording 25 titles in May 1909, twelve of which had appeared on record by October of that year, according to a contemporary catalogue. The IMC holds six recordings of Bagrat, and two of Dzhabbar Kariagdiev. Altogether, Hampe recorded 60 hours" worth of music in the region between April and September of that year, over 55 hours of which were released on ten and twelve inch 78rpm discs.
