Mariam Batsashvili on Influences
21st May 2025
Mariam Batsashvili's new album, Influences, is a chronological journey through sonatas that she holds close, spiritually and musically. Ahead of her BBC Proms appearance, playing Mozart Piano Concerto No. 20 with the BBC Symphony Orchestra on 27th July, she spoke with Matthew Ash about the new album and her connection with the music.
Awards and reviews
August 2025
this album is a nice surprise despite its seeming randomness: the immaculate purity of her sound, and the clarity of her interpretations, are wonderfully dependable qualities.
June 2025
Batsashvili’s sound is always pleasant, her phrasing generally immaculate and her musical values and structural grasp secure. That said, her approach to the two 18th-century sonatas seems oddly dated.
