competition had a special meaning. Mariam has had a special relationship with Liszt's music since she was a child. His music has actually been with me all my life,' she says in an interview. When I was younger, I was particularly fascinated by the impressive virtuosity in his pieces. As I got older, I became more interested in the deeper layers of Liszt's music Mariam is clear about the core of Liszt's music: 'For me his music is about the power of love, about God, about that which is greater than our lives. "Maybe it's crazy to say, but actually Liszt's kind of a godfather to me

Listen Mozart with Liszt's ears
Mariam Batsashvili is looking forward to the concert in the Edesche Concert Hall with great pleasure. The Bösendorfer Imperial especially fascinates me.

"She made every passage into something special", wrote NRC Handelsblad enthusiastically about pianist Mariam Batsashvili. In 2014 she won the Tenth International Liszt Competition in Utrecht with flying colours. No wonder Liszt's music has no more secrets from her. In the Edesche Concert Hall you can experience the beautiful playing of this young piano prodigy up close, in music by Franz Liszt, of course.
