Batiashvili–Capuçon–Thibaudet Trio ****
Barbican Hall, 12th November 2018
It’s always interesting to watch star soloists making sweet chamber music together: musicians you’re used to seeing in the concerto spotlight thrown together as equal partners in the recital room. But when the names are as stellar as Lisa Batiashvili, Gautier Capuçon and Jean-Yves Thibaudet, you’re going to need something bigger than a recital room. For the London leg of their European tour, the Barbican played host to a varied programme of Shostakovich, Ravel and Mendelssohn in which the trio deftly donned a range of disguises as easily as a chameleon camouflaging itself in its variegated surroundings.
