Iván Fischer and Lisa Batiashvili

Iván Fischer conducts exhilarating music from the 20th century, starting with Stravinsky’s Jeu de cartes, a sparkling score, full of irony and surprising accents. Grotesque humour is also to be found in Prokofiev’s First Violin Concerto, played here by soloist Lisa Batiashvili about whom the press wrote that she was a “ballerina on the violin” whose “fingers unerringly danced, flew and sprang about her Stradivarius”.
