Dora Serviarian-Kuhn is an Armenian-American pianist. Gramophone magazine called Serviarian-Kuhn's recording, "Easily the finest account of Khachaturian’s Piano Concerto since Moura Lympany’s pioneering recording under Fistoulari, this new version on ASV is the one to have. Dora Serviarian-Kuhn and her Armenian compatriot, Loris Tjeknavorian are in every way first-class: both identify naturally with the sinuous oriental flavour of the melodic lines and understand... that the outer movements need above all to convey thrusting vitality... What primarily makes this performance memorable is Serviarian-Kuhn’s sense of fantasy, so that her various cadential passages, for all their brilliance, are charismatically quixotic rather than just bravura displays."
