I was listening today the live Batiashvili’s Suterday play and it was very very very good. What I was particularly pleased, as much as during her Friday concert, is that she does not have that bright forward sounding, almost violent violin tone that always annoys me. Batiashvili’s tone is darker with her violin almost sounding like a viola that can go high – I love it! Batiashvili plays Strad 1709 violin “Engleman”, I do not know if it considered good instrument. The 1709 is young Stradivarius as the better violins Antonio Stradivari reportedly was making later between 1714 to 1720 but something that Mr. Batiashvili does with her Strad is very right and I do like the result a lot. It sucks that this concert will not be played on Tuesday as I would probably go to hear her live.
