The complete recording of the Miniatures for violin and piano by Kancheli! Giya Kancheli is a Georgian composer whose intensely personal style is related to Minimalism and the New Spirituality.
His Miniatures for violin and piano are like short stories, evocative, ironic, poetic and dramatic. The themes are inspired by the cinema and the theatre. Kancheli nearly always asks to play pianissimo and very slow, in order to eventually disconnect with the instrument and enter another dimension of time and sound.
Played with total dedication and intensity by violinist Andrea Cortesi and pianist Marco Venturi, who already successfully recorded for Brilliant Classics works by Glass, Tüür and Kancheli (BC94814).
Kancheli himself was very impressed by the present recording, he wrote to the musicians: “Your performance and particularly your interpretation made an indelible impression on me. The breathing, the freedom and the inspiration I heard are impossible to convey with the notes on the staff. I think that you managed to catch exactly what I could only dream of! Please pass on my very special thanks also to the wonderful sound engineer. With gratitude and best wishes, Giya Kancheli.“
