Lisa Batiashvili Legrand: Paris Violon

Lisa Batiashvili Legrand: Paris Violon Listen to City Lights: Lisa Batiashvilis new album City Lights crosses genres, mixes memories, places, sounds and music to powerful and haunting effect, taking the listener across the world with eleven carefully chosen pieces. Each of the special arrangements offers a multilayered musical portrait of a city that is important to Batiashvili. The music of Michel Legrand is something that Batiashvili remembers listening to since she was a child. Paris Violon reflects the fact that her husband is French and has lived most of his life in Paris. Batiashvilis own personal history is even woven into the arrangement, as conductor and arranger Nikoloz Rachveli reveals: Lisas husband is a great oboe player, and thats why there are two or three moments when the violin and oboe have a duet.
