Georgian-born star violinist Lisa Batiashvili, who lives in Germany and France, talks with WRTI's Susan Lewis about embracing family traditions, playing chamber music, and finding time for yoga and meditation during these difficult times.
From 16 July through 2 August, in partnership with Virtual Verbier Festival, DG streams video interviews, masterclasses and re-broadcasts of favourite concerts and rarities that haven’t been seen or heard since they first appeared on the Festival’s stages. Exclusive new performances, recorded especially for the Virtual Verbier Festival by some of the Festival’s biggest stars, many of whom are associated with DG, will start off most evenings.
Lisa Batiashvili – Legrand: Paris Violon
Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Nikoloz Rachveli
Taking its name from Charlie Chaplin’s 1931 film, violinist Lisa Batiashvili’s new album “City Lights” crosses genres, mixes memories, places, sounds and music to powerful and haunting effect. “City Lights” takes the listener across the world with eleven carefully chosen pieces that represent the most important cities in Lisa's life, along with a suite based on Charlie Chaplin’s own music for “City Lights” and other films of his. The Chaplin suite “City Memories” draws on music he composed for his own films (including the theme for Modern Times, also made famous as the song “Smile”).
