Lisa Batiashvili - Beethoven: Violin Concerto in D Minor, Op. 61, Tsintsadze: Miniatures (2009)

Hot on the heels of her stunning debut recording for Sony Classical (Sibelius & Lindberg Violin Concertos), the Georgian violinist Lisa Batiashvili's new solo album promises to garner the same high level of critical success. Hailed as one of the most exciting musicians of her generation "Dazzling..." (The Daily Telegraph); "...lavish virtuosity" (The Financial Times); her eagerly-awaited follow-up sees Batiashvili, internationally regarded as a superb interpreter of the classical repertoire and a decided champion of new music, in another adventurous collaboration with her trademark twist of unusual pairings: this time Beethoven's Violin Concerto with the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen coupled with Miniatures by Georgian composer Sulkhan Tsintsadze (1925-1991) featuring the Georgian Chamber Orchestra. Most unusually, both orchestras are directed by Ms Batiashvili herself.
