Two choral works by the great Georgian composer Giya Kancheli. "Little Imber" is a "site-specific" work, profoundly melancholic yet with a hint or irony, directly inspired by the English village of the same name, a ghost-town since it was evacuated and turned over to the US army for military manoeuvres in 1943. The piece is coupled here with "Amao Omi" ("senseless war") whose phonetic text adds up to moving sound tapestry, underpinned by the subtle and supple playing of the Raschèr Saxophone Quartet.
