Piet Koornhof and Albie van Schalkwyk’s Giya Kancheli: 18 Miniatures & Middelheim recording gets high marks from Raymond Tuttle in the March/April 2023 issue of Fanfare Magazine:

“These are late works, and both are worthy of attention. …there will be listeners who buy this CD and listen to the 18 Miniatures with a rapt expression on their face… These performances, by three South African musicians recorded in that country, seem very good… Middelheim, like many of Kancheli’s works, challenges performers to keep the music moving forward even when the tempo is close to glacial, and Koornhof, Mouton, and van Schalkwyk surmount that challenge. The engineering is excellent, and the booklet note by Sandro Kancheli, the composer’s son, complements the music well.”
