Paavo Järvi, Lisa Batiashvili and the Philharmonia Orchestra at Colston Hall

Alexandra Hamilton-Ayres, 3rd April

What a night. The conductor, Paavo Järvi, made the evening’s performance riveting, with a modest yet heartfelt performance. There were no egos on the stage, just unpretentious and pure classical music. The programme was three works long: two symphonies either side of a violin concerto.
