Description
Djansug Kakhidze: The Legacy Vol. 9 continues the series dedicated to the famous Georgian conductor, with works by Ravel, de Falla, Liszt, Sibelius and Mussorgsky performed by the Tbilisi Symphony Orchestra.
Djansug Kakhidze belonged to the small but highly prestigious group of East European conductors who set up a cultural counterdraft to the political conflicts in the times of cold war. He conducted almost every prestigious symphony orchestra in his hemisphere and became a much-vaunted advocate of late romantic orchestral repertoire. Mvravinsky adored him for his Tchaikovsky interpretations and the Neue Zürcher Zeitung called him respectfully 'the Georgian Karajan'.
Kakhidze shows that he is a master of symphonic sound effects, creating not only this unparalleled sonorous East European string sound but also exposes the brilliant brass section of the Tbilisi Symphony Orchestra at their best.
