In her new project, City Lights, Lisa Batiashvili gathers all the places and memories that have been important in her life and career together with some of the world’s most beautiful music.
A journey from her native Georgia to Paris, Berlin, Buenos Aires and Hollywood that features ground-breaking collaborations with artists as diverse as Miloš, Katie Melua and Till Brönner. City Lights shares the beautiful melodies from Cinema Paradiso and Chaplin’s own compositions with all time classics from Piazzolla, J.S. Bach and the late Michel Legrand - all in new arrangements by Nikoloz Rachveli - and last, but not least a new song by Katie Melua about the magic of London.
"Kun konserttiviulisti tekee kaupallisen viihdelevyn, minulla yleensä nousevat karvat väärällä tavalla pystyyn - hunaja kun ei sovi ruisleivän päälle. DG:n julkaisema, Lisa Batiashvilin tähdittämä City Lights on kuitenkin keskimääräistä onnistuneempi makuyhdistelmä, mistä kiitos kuuluu erinomaisen tuotantotiimin lisäksi myös Batiashvilin tyylikkään sielukkaalle viihdesoitolle." - Kare Eskola, Yle Radio 1, Uudet levyt, 16. 6. 2020.
