6. London Symphony Orchestra / Lisa Batiashvili / Sir Antonio Pappano
Her playing is as precise as it is almost uninhibitedly lyrical, she warms, she enchants,« enthused the Süddeutsche Zeitung in 2023 after a concert featuring Lisa Batiashvili. The star violinist is now bringing one of the most beautiful works for her instrument to the Elbphilharmonie: Mozart’s Fifth Violin Concerto. The London Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Sir Antonio Pappano will be her congenial partner, opening and closing the evening with works by Mozart fan Richard Strauss. With the mischievous Till Eulenspiegel and the multi-layered, lively »Heldenleben« (A Hero’s Life), Mozart’s masterpiece forms an ingenious concert triad.
