[…] quite as dramatic in performance, although a bit more flowing and lyrical overall. It certainly is startling to discover two such highly recommendable recordings of the same piece with the same orchestra on the same relatively small label. In any event, the Honeck release is something special, well worth an audition by faithful Brucknerians. Giorgi Mikadze Trio: Face to Face: Georgian Songbook, Vol. 1. Mikadze: Satchidao; David Toradze: Not Easy to Repeat; Sulkhan Tsintsadze: Dolls Are Laughing; Shota Milorava: Same Garden; Jansungh Kakhidze: The Moon Over Mtatsminda; Mikadze: Nana; After the Tale; Giya Kancheli: A Magic Egg; Nodar Gabunia: To Nodar; Rusudan Sebiskveradze: Wind Takes It Anyway. Giorgi Mikadze, piano, arrangements; François Moutin, acoustic bass; Raphaël Pannier, drums. Peewee!

[…] BBC Sounds. Advent Live: Volume 2 - St John's Cambridge/Signum Classics - Amazon You only have to listen to the opening 30 seconds of the disc to know that Christmas Trilogy from CuGate Classics is something different. We have the resonant and distinctive sounds of a Georgian male-voice choir (there is a strong Georgian folk-tradition of polyphonic male voice ensembles) and brass instruments. This is the Christmas Trilogy by the Georgian composer Vakhtang Kakhidze.
