  • [Giya Kancheli's] attractive ERGO infuses the
    "spiritual" style with which we have become
    familiar with a dollop of wit. Again,
    Kancheli makes do with few notes, and again,
    he derives uncommon eloquence from sudden
    silences. Mournful, ethereal string figures
    are complemented by English horn
    interjections and brass commentaries, which
    grow more insistent until they finally
    dominate. A crescendo metamorphoses into an
    obsessive three-note figure, when Kancheli
    derives a dancing motive that saturates the
    orchestra.
    Allan Ulrich, San Francisco Chronicle
