🎧🎻Lisa Batiashvili

Georgia-born Lisa Batiashvili has a family background, as her father is also a violinist and her mother is a pianist. And as early as the age of 4, Lisa began to learn the violin with her father.

The family then immigrated to Germany and studied at the Hamburg Conservatory. The conservatory is world-renowned, admitted in 1991, and in 1995 Lisa Batiashvili won the Sibelius Violin Competition .

 The Jean Sibelius International Violin Competition (Finnish: Kansainvälinen Jean Sibelius -viulukilpailu) is an international competition for violinists under the age of 30, held every five years in Helsinki, Finland. It is named after the famous Finnish pianist Sibelius. (Wikipedia)

This is a world-renowned violin music competition, and the winners will have good performance opportunities later.

The violin played by Lisa is a "Strativari violin" made in 1709, and it is understood that it was lent to her by a music foundation in Japan.

 Stradivarius refers to the Italian Stradivarius family, especially the stringed instruments made by the musical instrument maker Antonio Stradivarius. Considered to be one of the best stringed instruments in history, it is highly valued and its price rises with time and who has owned and played it, and is still used by many professional musicians to this day Variation to play.

Today I recommend this recording, which will be digitally distributed by DG on 2022/08/19. The physical CD will not be available until 9/2. Now let everyone smell it.

The recording features the work of four composers, including

 1. Franck Violin Sonata in A Major
2. Ernest Chaussonv Poeme for violin - orchestra Op 25 1896
3. Karol Szymanowski Violin Concerto No 1 Op 35
4. Claude Debussy Beau soir L 6 (L. 84) (Arr. Heifetz for Violin and Piano) 1890

These four works are quite distinctive, especially Karol Szymanowski 's violin concerto, which is very harmonious with the Philadelphia Orchestra, and the performance of conductor Yannick Nezet-Seguin can also respond to the violinist's tone, making the whole work very interesting The sense of existence compares the classic work of Frank to abruptly.
