There's an ancient Armenian instrument called the duduk. Which is a double reed instrument made out of Apricot wood. It has the most haunting, lonely sound ever.
The first video I would like to show you features the great Armenian musician, Djivan Gasparyan, playing a piece based off of Hans Zimmer's "Duduk of the North" (a piece Hans wrote for "Gladiator"). This is where it's at folks!
This video is Yanni with a composition featuring the duduk. Which leads into Yanni's lustrous "Nostalgia".

What is this music style considered?
Croatian? or maybe Celtic?
In the first video it seemed like the audience did not know that they were supposed to start clapping now, LOL.

I would call it middle eastern. I think the first one has a bit of Spanish influence.
Ha! I think people were too much in awe to clap. :)
Wow!! This post was like ten years ago :)
