95693

Giya Kancheli is a Georgian composer whose intensely personal style is closely related to Minimalism and New Spiritualism. • Kancheli’s “Letters to Friends” is an anthology of themes from his film music, rewritten and collected in a cycle for violin and string orchestra, especially made for violinist Andrea Cortesi. Each piece/letter carries the name of a different Georgian friend of the composer, the cycle is a tribute to friendship, sharing creativity and connecting life and art. • The performers are the Georgian strings and violinist Andrea Cortesi. Kancheli himself is very happy with this project: “My sincere gratitude goes out to the musicians and the sound team for taking such good care of my music and for the brilliant sound”. • The previous Kancheli recording of Andrea Cortesi, “Miniatures for Violin and Piano“ was issued on Brilliant Classics BC95267, and received great critical acclaim in the international press.
