《札爾提爾》是列邦.艾斯克尼安(Levon Eskenian)帶領的葛吉夫民族樂器合奏團(The Gurdjieff Ensemble)的第三張專輯,也是他們迄今為止最冒險的。這張專輯是葛吉夫民族樂器合奏團與亞美尼亞國家室內合唱團(National Chamber Choir of Armenia)之間令人陶醉的合作,專輯中有許多儀式音樂。編曲者艾斯克尼安表示:「我相信「偉大的祈禱」(The Great Prayer)不僅僅只是一首“作品”。這是我在葛吉夫的作品中遇到的最深刻和最具改革性的作品之一。」《札爾提爾》於2021年在亞美尼亞首都葉里溫錄製,由列邦.艾斯克尼安、提格蘭.庫茲基揚(Tigran Kuzikyan)和曼弗雷德(Manfred Eicher)在2022年11月在慕尼黑錄製。
