		Kancheli's Styx casts the viola as the mythological river that bridges life and death, the finite and the infinite.
		Kancheli is one of the most important composers of our time, and this he has proven in the past with Lament, Simi, a la Duduki (which I wholeheartedly recommend) and re-affirms with Styx.
		The first is Giya Kancheli's "Styx (for viola, mixed choir, and orchestra)" and the second Sofia Gubaidulina's "Concerto for viola and orchestra."

		Kancheli's music has spiritual affinities with that of Pärt and Tavener--he strives to pare musical ideas down to their essences, to treat sounds like gems set in a ring of silence.
		There is a sense, one feels while listening to the music of Giya Kancheli that the abrupt stabs of discordance that emerge without reason are present for the benefit of disrupting the disinterested listener; that is by brining him into to this volatile world that Kancheli portrays.
		That aside, the actual music of Kancheli, consummated in the Lament is a sublime vision of nullity in a broken and decaying world.

		The volcano on the cover art says it all: for Kanchelis compositions often suggest the gentle yet irrepressible advance of searing lava, punctuated unexpectedly by musical eruptions of volcanic proportion.
		It has been a criticism of Kancheli that he sounds more inward and recycled with each new release, but within the spectrum of modern classical composers his voice remains uniquely passionate.
		Not all of Kanchelis work that has been issued on CD is Kancheli at his best.

		Kancheli's usual abrupt and intense dynamic contrasts are present in this piece as well, but not to the extent that one finds in his previous recordings.
		It's wonderdul to hear Derek Lee Ragin's angelic indeed voice in another Kancheli work (after the superb 'And Farewell goes out sighing...'), and even though to describe someone's voice as ' angelic' is usually a cliche, in this instance it is perfectly appropriate.
		Also wonderful to find Thomas Demenga with his cello as well as a rather unusual for a Kancheli score that includes percussion, piano and guitar in a most innovative and unexpected way.

		Some reviewers on other recordings of Kancheli have criticised his use of sudden outbursts of sound, frequent in "A la Duduki" -they have said that he uses this technique to often to make it effective over time.
		As most of Kancheli's compositions, it has some kind of eruptive moments, like an animal trying to fight against the supernatural force, but then falling back into the calm and silence after a short struggle.
		Music fans with a greater affinity for the contemporary scene, who are usually put off by the jarring bombast of most classical surges (particularly the older stuff that almost everyone feels obliged to rave on about) could well find this album refreshing.

		Giya Kancheli's symphonies tend to be meditative (and eruptive) affairs quite unlike any other composer of his generation.
		He tends to alternate between quiet, thoughtful, even reverential passages, with sudden declarative bursts that are intentionally designed to wake up the listener.
