The Profile

Georgian composer (1935–2019) known for his symphonies, choral works and film music that combine lyricism with stark, dramatic textures.

Born in Tbilisi in 1935. Worked widely in orchestral, chamber, choral and film music; collaborated with artists such as Gidon Kremer and conductors listed in the DeBaser works (e.g. Jansug Kakhidze, Dennis Russell Davies). Died in 2019.

Two DeBaser reviews by josi_ praise Giya Kancheli's music for its meditative power, dramatic contrasts, and spiritual dimension. Lament is described as a journey of purification featuring violin and soprano. In l'istesso tempo is noted for its inward piano-and-strings lyricism and references to Romantic and modern touchstones.
