Reviews and impressions

Performances and recording are all exceptionally good... – MusicWeb International

In both pieces Kremerata Baltica gives visceral support... – The Strad

Kremer and his orchestra, alone and with Kopatchinskaja, superbly crystallize the essence of Kancheli's most intimate and mature opus. – AllAboutJazz

“Despite the world’s obvious achievement, our planet is still torn by bloody contradictions.
