About
Giorgi Gigashvili is only twenty-two, but he is already hitting the headlines: now a pupil of Nelson Goerner, he is a protégé of Martha Argerich, who gave him the urge to play the piano alongside his first love, pop singing - at the age of thirteen, he won the television talent show ‘The Voice’ in his homeland, Georgia. A few years later, Martha Argerich discovered him at the III International Piano Competition "City of Vigo", and he went on to win prizes at several more, including the Hortense Anda-Bührle Prize at the Géza Anda Competition in Zurich in 2021. Another high-flying mentor, the violinist Lisa Batiashvili, asked him to play the piano on her recording of the Franck Violin Sonata. His free and spectacular playing impresses, his creativity and personality astonish. Here he presents his first recital, revealing his palette of colours: Scarlatti, Beethoven, Scriabin and Messiaen. But never far away is his shadow; as the singer of the electro band Tsduneba (‘temptation’ in Georgian) which he founded with his friends.
