The Basiani Ensemble showcase the marvel of Georgian polyphony. I will take some time to read about the development of Georgian music, because it is completely unlike most other countries in Europe or Asia Minor. From the little I know, its disconnect from other nations allowed the development of a completely unique form of polyphony, using dissonances unheard of in Western music. I have listened to Georgian Orthodox chant and Georgian folk music before, and have been awed by the richness of sound they can produce, entirely without instruments. This is a superb concert, the voices are flawless!
