Lisa Batiashvili performs Sibelius’ Violin Concerto at the BBC Proms with Daniel Barenboim and the Staatskapelle Berlin (15 July). 

In an interview with the BBC Proms, Lisa commented: ​“I recently recorded [the concerto] with the Staatskapelle Berlin and Daniel Barenboim and it was a completely new experience … it isn’t just about music but everything around it as well – the thinking and the understanding … I am such a fan of Barenboim.” 

The recording, which also features Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto, was released on Deutsche Grammophon in November 2016 and has since been labeled as Gramophone Magazine’s ​‘Record of the Month’ (January 2017) and BBC Music Magazine’s ​‘Concerto Choice’ (April 2017). 

Following her appearance at the BBC Proms, Lisa will join Paavo Järvi and the Estonian Festival Orchestra on tour for performances of Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto (17 – 22 August). 

Lisa Batiashvili has recently been shortlisted for Gramophone Artist of the Year 2017.
