There are striking similarities between a group of Soviet composers, all born in the 1930s, and the associations of composers known respectively as 'Les Six' and the 'Mighty Handful'. They hailed from ethnic minorities in the Soviet Union and defied cultural-political directives. This eventually led them to a post-ideological musical language of their own, guided by personal faith, and with a unique beauty that enchants listeners to this day. Gija Kancheli, born in Tbilissi, is one of them.
