Tchaikovsky ∙ Sibelius, Lisa Batiashvili ∙ Daniel Barenboim, Staatskapelle Berlin - Violin Concertos album flac

Tchaikovsky & Sibelius: Violin Concertos Lisa Batiashvili. Tchaikovsky’s powerful concerto receives an energetic reading from Barenboim and the uncanny Staatskapelle Berlin, but the true star of this album is Lisa Batiashvili, who treats the mighty work’s languid lines and towering climaxes with moving reverence and transcendental skill. Tchaikovsky’s ecstatic spirit is resurrected in this formidable reading.

47, and turn then to the Tchaikovsky opening movement, where Batiashvili cultivates a restrained purity of expression that Jascha Heifetz would have loved. In the extremely dark, slow movement of the ostensibly less sentimental Sibelius, however, Batiashvili pours on the emotion. Each of the six movements here seems to tell a story in the best Romantic tradition, and in addition to marking a stage in the ascent of a new star, the album handsomely marks Barenboim's diamond jubilee.

Lisa Batiashvili and Staatskapelle Berlin under Daniel Barenboim’s baton present an unforgettable version of Tchaikovsky’ and Sibelius’ violin concertos.

He has made several recordings with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra including Sibelius and Nielsen, violin concertos with Maxium Vengerov, African Portraits by Hanibal, Wagner's Overtures and Preludes, and Tchaikovsky's "Symphony No. 5" and "1812 Overture. The album Tribute to Ellington followed in 1999. As a conductor, soloist, pianist or author, Daniel Barenboim puts himself into his works always demanding perfection. His countless accomplishments have made him an international figure in the world of classical music.

Lisa Batiashvili, who learned the Tchaikovsky only in the past few years, is a full and equal partner. Her playing dials down the rhapsody and whimsy, instead sustaining long melodic lines with a determination that patience and calm will reap their rewards. The slow movement, which too often has a ‘big emotion’ stop-start quality, benefits here from a flowing pulse and lines created with an eye on the overall shape. And if the temperature of the finale is lower than on many recordings, I still found myself completely entranced by the epic story these artists were telling.
