20 October, 2014
A few weeks ago, Georgian pianist Khatia Buniatishvili took part in the iTunes Festival, where besides holding a one-hour-long concert, she also performed together with Spanish tenor Placido Domingo.
“Before I start singing, I want to say that this is unbelievable. Her technique, her temperament are amazing. I am happy to serenade to Khatia” – declared Placido Domingo to the audience. After the song, maestro assumed the role of a conductor and performed the composition together with Khatia for the second time.
The video depicting Georgian folk ensemble Shavnabada performing amazing polyphonic version of the European Anthem at the World Forum for Democracy in Strasbourg has recently gone viral on social network.
The footage dating back to 1970 depicts 60-years-old Nino Ramishvili (one of the founders of Sukhishvili National Ballet) performing Georgian national dance Jeirani.
