Secret Love Letters (Lisa Batiashvili, Yannik Nézet-Séguin & Philadelphia Orchestra) (A)
“What would human life be like,” asks Lisa Batiashvili, “without this range of emotions and feelings which we feel cannot be shared with anyone?”
Her new album celebrates the fine art of concealment, of holding private passions just beneath the surface until they erupt. Secret Love Letters sees the Georgian-born German violinist explore some of the most romantic music ever written. In this, her first recording with a US orchestra, she is joined by The Philadelphia Orchestra and its inspirational Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin – with whom she has performed live many times – as well as by young Georgian pianist Giorgi Gigashvili. Together they embark on a journey that spans everything from forbidden love to romance seen from the perspective of old age.
The collaboration features evocative music inspired by late-Romantic literature and superb soloists – Szymanowski’s First Violin Concerto, Chausson’s Poème and works by Franck and Debussy.
“Music, just like art and literature, has always been the most amazing vehicle for artists to share secret messages and speak about their hidden loves and untold stories.”
- Lisa Batiashvili
