“Batiashvili effortlessly veered between whispered melodies and strident double stopping in this magnificent close reading with an outstanding on-form orchestra who were with her every step of the way.”

The Scotsman

“Batiashvili made the most fiendishly unpredictable music sound relatively straightforward – against a full-blown tutti she never seemed either loud or harsh, but always perfectly audible, even when playing the most delicate harmonics at the upper end of the human audible spectrum.”

The Arts Desk

“Im 1. Violinkonzert von Karol Szymanowski spielte Solistin Lisa Batiashvili – in gelb und blau gekleidet – fein und differenziert mit wunderschönem Klang. Für die Ovationen im Stehen bedankte sich die georgische Violinistin mit einer Zugabe, bei der sie von Dirigent Nézet-Séguin am Flügel begleitet wurde.”

“…there was much to admire in the sumptuous colour and soaring ethereal lines of Batiashvili’s solo violin”
