Edinburgh International Festival debut of award-winning pianist Mariam Batsashvili

Mariam Batsashvili was the first female winner of the International Franz Liszt Piano Competition and a former Radio 3 New Generation Artist. It is her passion and innate understanding of Liszt's music that forms the second half of her debut Festival recital. She starts with the eight pieces that make up Schumann's 'Fantasiestücke' that were dedicated to Anna Robena Laidlaw, a talented young pianist of Scottish descent who studied piano in Edinburgh. These pieces reflect the duality of the passionate Schumann and of Schumann, the dreamer. Batsashvili continues with Liszt transcriptions of Wagner and Schubert. Four songs that, though wordless, preserve their emotional depth and lyrical beauty.  She concludes her recital with one Liszt's set of three waltzes, S.214, the bright and cheerful 'Valse de bravoure'.
