Staatskapelle Dresden, Lisa Batiashvili & Gautier Capuçon Conducted By Christian Thielemann

Georgian violinist Lisa Batiashvili, French cellist Gautier Capuçon, Christian Thielemann and the Staatskapelle Dresden present a sophisticated concert programme about love and death, performing Brahms' Double Concerto as well as works by two other leading 19th-century composers: Tchaikovsky and Liszt. Bathiashvili is playing her Guarneri “with tenderness and devotion” (Der Neue Merker). Her lyrical, velvety performance is contrasted by Capuçon’s more throaty and vibrating tone. Christian Tielemann and his Staatskapelle “are mixing different colours as if they were putting emeralds and rubies on precious metal, creating huge sonority but always retaining clarity in it.” (Dresdner Neueste Nachrichten).
