The duduk is a traditional Armenian woodwind instrument that is used in the Middle East and Central Asia. Its use in Western classical music is predictably rare, although it has featured in several movie soundtracks, including Peter Gabriel's beautiful score for Martin Scorsese's The Last Temptation of Christ. I have found one concerto for duduk and orchestra, composed by Henrik Anassian. His concerto van be viewed here,
played by Emmanuel Hovhannisyan State Symphonic Orchestra of Yakutsk "Symphonica Artica" under Pavel Vaskovski. Unfortunately, it has not reached the CD
medium yet.
