The great Georgian composer's twelfth ECM New Series album features first recordings of two major works, 'Chiaroscuro' for violin and chamber orchestra, and 'Twilight' for two violins and chamber orchestra, performed by Gidon Kremer and Kremerata Baltica. Recorded in Vilnius, Lithuania, in December 2014, and produced by Manfred Eicher, this album is an important addition to Kancheli's ECM catalogue. It is issued shortly after the composer celebrated his 80th birthday. Gidon Kremer has previously recorded several of Kancheli's works for ECM.
