Compulsory listening,
By hairysteve, composer and music lover (Northampton, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Trauerfarbenes Land (Audio CD)
Okay, I don't actually own this CD, but I've given this 5 stars because I've played "A la Duduki" with my local youth orchestra, and it's just one of those pieces that makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end. I played "A la Duduki" and have been hooked on Kancheli's unique sound ever since. Though his long chords may be too outstretched for some listeners (two in "A la Duduki" are 14 seconds long!), Kancheli's harmonically and melodically sparse music WILL bring enjoyment to those willing to listen.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.

Powerful, Emotional, Beyond Sadness,

This review is from: Trauerfarbenes Land (Audio CD)
This CD completely matches the the title the composer selected... "Country coloured with sadness...". It is the complete sentiment a former Soviet composer can feel for his once beloved country which he left / had to leave due to his artistic activities.As most of Kancheli's compositions, it has some kind of eruptive moments, like an animal trying to fight against the supernatural force, but then falling back into the calm and silence after a short struggle.
