A very special album for Giya Kancheli�s 75th birthday. When starting out on his career as a creator of symphonic and chamber music, the Georgian composer also wrote much incidental music for the theatre and the cinema. Though still little-known in the West, the film music was widely heard across the former Soviet Union and the themes here (there are 20 on the album) enjoyed great popularity. ECM decided to invite Dino Saluzzi to revisit Kancheli�s music for stage and screen, in his personal and highly creative way. Simultaneously Gidon Kremer, an old friend and champion of Kancheli�s music, also expressed an interest in doing something special for Giya�s birthday. With both Kremer and Saluzzi on board, the project took on new dimensions.

Musicians:

Dino Saluzzi - bandoneon
Andrei Pushkarev - vibraphone
Gidon Kremer - violin
Jansug Kahkidze - voice/conductor
Tbilisi Symphony Orchestra
