A neat synopsis, well researched as ever by our sainted musicologist. Thank you, Andrew. This is a fine piece which I enjoyed hugely. I sometimes find it difficult divorcing music of this quality from the tribulations of Georgia and its political strife.
As ever, thank you kind sir!. Indeed it is a sad national story, but then so was Russia's and look at how many brilliant composers they produced over the past couple of centuries?
Bit Rimsky-Korsakov, rather film music style, but very enjoyable
Hadn’t thought about that but yes, now you come to mention it….

Powerful piece. I’d love to hear this played live to experience the effect of it.
