On June 6, the presentation of six unique CDs prepared by Anzor Erqomaishvili and supported by the National Library, was held at the Folklore Hall of the National Library. The Folklore Hall of the National Library was named after Anzor Erkomaishvili.

The unique archival records found by Anzor Erkomaishvili were included in the CDs. Among them are unique songs performed by Varlam Simonishvili, Samuel Chavleishvili, Vano Mchedlishvili, Mikheil Kavsadze and Apollon Tsamtsishvili in the first half of the last century. One of the discs is dedicated to Vano Sarajishvili's recordings. During the last period of his life Anzor Erkomaishvili worked on the recordings of Vano Mchedlishvili, Mikheil Kavsadze and Apolon Tsamtsishvili. The recordings are also unique in the way that each disc is accompanied by an annotation by Anzor Erkomaishvili, and some records are published for the first time. The Folklore Hall of the National Library, opened with the support of the Georgian Chanting Foundation, has been successfully working on those and other projects for the second year in a row.
