On their latest album release, General Music Director Daniel Barenboim leads the Staatskapelle Berlin with violinist Lisa Batiashvili in Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto and Sibelius’s Violin Concerto.
Barenboim first heard Batiashvili perform with the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra, which inspired their future collaborations. “There are few violinists with better taste,” says Barenboim.
The album, released on 4 November, 2016 on Deutsche Grammophon, marks Barenboim and Batiashvili’s first recording project together.
