Giya Kancheli, one of Georgia's most important composers, became increasingly well-known after the beginning of glasnost in the Soviet Union, when his works, not least his seven symphonies, attracted international attention. Around the year 2000, Kancheli turned away from the opulence of these pieces and moved towards a more restrained, introspective style, which is exemplified by the three works on this album. Elements of folk and traditional music can be recognized in the abstract Ex contrario, while Middelheim captivates with its overlapping sequence of episodes. Tsutisopeli was Kancheli's last composition.
