Giorgi Gigashvili

Description:

Giorgi Gigashvili, a young Georgian phenom, is a remarkable debut album] Giorgi Gigashvili was born in Georgia (Georgia) in 2000. Currently studying with Nelson Gellner, he boasts a long list of receipts, including the third prize and audience prize at the 2019 Busoni International Piano Competition, the Hortense Anda-Bühle Prize at the 2021 Geza Anda International Piano Competition, and the violinist Lisa She has also performed with Georgian violinist Lisa Batiashvili on her album (Deutsche Grammophon), playing Frank sonatas. He is also the singer of the eroktro unit Tsduneba, and says that Martha Argerich strongly encouraged him to continue playing the piano as well, as he loves pop music the most. His first such album is now available on ALPHA. For him, classical piano playing may be a "shadow" side of himself, but the breadth and depth of his expression is astonishing at just 22 years of age, and his compositional ability to give a sense of unity and narrative to a program that covers a wide range of eras and countries is also excellent.
