Music reviews of Giya Kancheli: Trauerfarbenes Land; À la Duduki

Music Review: Compulsory listening
Rating: 5 Stars

Some reviewers on other recordings of Kancheli have criticised his use of sudden outbursts of sound, frequent in "A la Duduki" -they have said that he uses this technique to often to make it effective over time. Perhaps this is the case, but I will be incredibly surprised if the shorter outbursts don't make you jump and smile. For me, this is the whole point, Kancheli wants us to enjoy his music, and if he raises a smile, has he not succeeded?

This is amazing, ethereal, haunting, beautiful music, and everybody should hear it.
