Symphonies Nos. 5,7,8
) | Label: Catalog: CGC035 Format: COMPACT DISC TBILISI SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA KAKHIDZEThis new release is the sequel of the successful Djansug Kakhidze Legacy on CuGate Classics. Just in time for the Schubert year (his 220th birthday), this volume contains three of his major symphonies, among which are the two last ones together with the charming fifth. On this album the “Georgian Karajan” as he was called by Neue Zurcher Zeitung, shows his affinity to the German Romantic repertoire. Unlike Karajan, however, Kakhidze does not only put all of his emphasis on the sheer beauty of the orchestral sound. He also investigates the disaccords in the music and does not hesitate to unfold it. Together with the Tbilisi Symphony Orchestra, which he founded in 1993, he shapes the character of this music and, when necessary, stretches it to its limits.  Price: $29.99 |
