Alexander Basilaya - Lovetales
br>
Alexander Basilaya – composer, pianist, leader of the "Iveria" ensemble and carries honor of Peoples artist of Georgia. He is one of the most famous Georgian musician creating popular music today. His musical talent, sense of humor and charm are the fundamental features that influence his masterpieces.
Everything Basilaya produces is filled with the feeling of the time in which we live. He is a uniquely theatrical composer – remember the sparkling comedic escapades of the "The Wedding Of Jays" or the musical "Shlager, Shlager", which has been on the stage of the Obraztsov Pupper Theatre for almost 10 years.
His works ranges from extensive number of songs as well as 5 complete musicals: The "Wedding of the Jays" (1980), "The Argonauts" (1982), "A Snow Granny Tale" (1986), "Shlager, Shlager" (1988), "Pirosmani" (1996).
Among the musical qualities of the composer is his vivid sense of melody and outstanding harmonic feeling of rhythm. Basilaya's music appeal to all audiences but is neither primitive nor simplified – it is highly professional in all of its component.
The years pass, styles and tendencies including the popular arts are changing. Listener's tastes also change. Younger audiences have very specific demands but there are musicians, who somehow represent "the link between tomes": they preserve the best of what comes from traditional styles – pop music, jazz, folk – at the same time feeling and understanding modern directions in music and music technology. Basilaya belongs to that specific type of composers – and this stands behind his popularity among such a wide range of music fans.
