Liszt / Thielemann / Staatskapelle Dresden - Double Concerto - DVD

Violinist Lisa Batiashvili, cellist Gautier Capuon, Christian Thielemann and the Staatskapelle Dresden present a sophisticated concert program of three great composers: Johannes Brahms, Pyotr I. Tchaikovsky and Franz Liszt. In Brahms Double Concerto Lisa Bathiashvili is playing her Guarneri "with tenderness and devotion" (Der Neue Merker). Her lyrical, velvety performance is contrasted by Capuon's more throaty and vibrating tone: "The two ways of playing seem to collide sometimes but to match brilliantly at the same time". Christian Thielemann and his Staatskapelle "are mixing different colors as if they were putting emeralds and rubies on precious metal, creating huge sonority but always retaining clarity in it" (Dresdner Neueste Nachrichten).
