5.0 out of 5 stars Unique folk songs performed by the best group!, June 25, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Georgian Voices (Audio CD)

The Rustavi Choir remains the best Georgian male choir over the past decades. And if I'm not mistaken the song Orovela was performed by late Hamlet Gonashvili, the best folk singer that probably ever been born in Georgia. As for the suggestion above of placing Georgian songs in the Russian group, I'd disagree with that. Georgians are not Slavs. The fact that Russia was a colonial power in Georgia over 200 years does not mean that linguistically, ethnically or culturally these two nations are somewhere close to each other.

5.0 out of 5 stars Magical, November 30, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Georgian Voices (Audio CD)

This record is absolutely essential to me. It has the most powerful singing, with the most exciting harmonies, I have ever heard. It is frightening and awesome, bringing chills to my spine every time I hear it. Tears, to boot. These songs have a musical architecture and passion I've never heard before or since.
