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
