Songs from the Caucasus - Reviews




Sarah Bassingthwaighte and Tina Kuratashvili take us on a whirlwind musical tour of the Soviet Union. Both players create a balance of sound, and of excitement, throughout the CD as they reveal the power and the tenderness of this emotional music. My favorites are the charming Six Pieces by Fiket Amirov and the rhythmically exciting Taktakishvilli. Bassingthwaightes rich and lyrical sound make this a treat for flute aficionados. I'm pleased to recommend this CD.
