Daniel Barenboim, Berlin Staatskapelle, Lisa Batiashvili

Programme to include:

Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky: Violin Concerto
Interval
Edward Elgar: Symphony No.2

A second concert by Daniel Barenboim at his London home, performing with Lisa Batiashvili and the Berlin State Opera orchestra.

Consistently voted an audience favourite, Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto - a deeply felt work full of melodic vitality, soul and virtuosic brilliance - is performed by Batiashvili, described by The Times as 'the complete musician'.

Elgar's Symphony No.2 - a full-bodied Romantic journey for the orchestra - was described by the composer as 'the passionate pilgrimage of the soul'. It moves from the poignant first movement, through a slow-moving funeral march and a playful dance before concluding with a moving finale of great warmth.
