Virtuoso romantic piano music

Award-winning pianist Mariam Batsashvili performs works by Liszt, including his B茅n茅diction de Dieu dans la solitude and Second Hungarian Rhapsody, at St George's Bristol.

Nicola Heywood Thomas presents the second concert in a series given by Radio 3 New Generation Artists earlier this month at St. George's Bristol. A noted interpreter of Liszt, award-winning pianist Mariam Batsashvili's programme celebrates Liszt's interest in literature, his spiritual convictions and his love for his homeland. Liszt prefaced B茅n茅diction de Dieu dans la solitude with a line taken from the poems of Alphonse de Lamartine, "Whence comes, oh my God, this peace that floods over me". The second of his Hungarian Rhapsodies pays tribute to the gypsy music of his birthland.

Mariam Batsashvili is a former Radio 3 New Generation Artist
