Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 25 in C major is a mature and powerful work, and the last in a series of twelve concertos written in Vienna between 1784 and 1786—a dazzlingly creative moment in his career in which he also composed Le Nozze de Figaro!

The sensational young pianist Ju Liu begins with two of Liszt's Transcendental Etudes (Appassionata and Harmonie du soir) –a series of twelve compositions for solo piano dedicated to his teacher Czerny whose technical challenges easily assert Liszt's moniker "Paganini of the Piano." Other highlights of the recital include Schubert's unfinished Piano Sonata No. 8, two Debussy's Préludes and Saint-Saëns' spell-binding Danse macabre.

A veritable living legend of the piano, Evgeny Kissin is a regular of the Verbier Festival. In this year's recital, he performs Beethoven's legendary Piano Sonata No. 29 and a personal selection of Rachmaninov's Preludes.
The monumental "Hammerklavier" Sonata, written for a then-new and as-yet undervalued instrument—was composed after Beethoven had already lost his hearing. The composer declared: "Here is a sonata that will give pianists quite a challenge"—a challenge Evgeny Kissin joyfully undertakes. He finishes his recital with his performance of several of Rachmaninov's 24 Preludes, a Romantic work loosely inspired by Chopin's Preludes.

Highlights of Richard Goode's highly anticipated recital include Mozart's Sonata No. 8, Beethoven's brilliant Sonata No. 30—the first of the group of the so-called "last three sonatas"—as well as a selection of Debussy's Preludes. As put by The New York Times, “It’s virtually impossible to walk away from one of Richard Goode’s recitals without the sense of having gained some new insight, subtle or otherwise, into the works he played or about the pianism itself.”

For the first time, rising star of the French piano world Lucas Debargue presents a recital at the Verbier Festival. He performs piano sonatas by Schubert and Liszt. A not-to-be-missed evening!
“There hasn’t been a foreign pianist who has caused such a stir since Glenn Gould’s arrival in Moscow in the midst of the Cold War, or Van Cliburn’s victory at the Tchaikovsky Competition.” – Olivier Bellamy, The Huffington Post. Lucas Debargue finished fourth at the 2015 International Tchaikovsky Competition and walked away with the prestigious Moscow Music Critics Association Prize, lauded as a, “pianist whose incredible talent, artistic vision, and creative freedom have impressed the audience as much as the critics.” His new-found fame has propelled him onto the world's most prestigious stages, with concert engagements following one after the other. Since the 2015 webcasts of his success at the Tchaikovsky International Competition, this year he returns to medici.tv in live webcasts from the Verbier Festival!

The concert begins with Mendelssohn's String Quartet No. 6, the last work that he wrote. Composed just months after the death of his sister Fanny, the piece is often referred to as the "Requiem for Fanny." His String Quintet No. 2 follows, after which the musicians close the program with a performance of one of Mendelssohn's best known compositions, his String Octet in E-flat Major, Op. 20. Mendelssohn was only 16 years old when he composed this masterpiece, one of the first of its genre and a testimony to his young genius. As Schumann put it, "No master of the past or present can boast such consummate perfection at such an early age."

Leonidas Kavakos a Yuja Wang hrají Schuberta, Debussyho a Bartóka
komorní hudba
PROGRAM
Franz Schubert, Fantasy for Violin and Piano in C Major, D. 934
Claude Debussy, Violin and Piano Sonata No. 3 in G Minor
Béla Bartók, Sonata for Violin and Piano No. 1, Sz. 75
Follow two celebrated soloists, violinist Leonidas Kavakos and pianist Yuja Wang, on their journey through three virtuosic and fantasy-filled works for violin and piano by Schubert, Debussy, and Bartók.
Many might consider it an artist's prerogative to go on flights of fancy, following one's impulses into unexplored and even esoteric territory. The composers programmed on this concert bring us along with them on that journey. The first two works—Schubert's aptly-named Fantasy for Violin and Piano in C Major, and Debussy's Sonata No. 3 for Violin and Piano in G Minor—both date to the last year of their composers' lives, and bear the marks of their creators' dizzying searches for new and virtuosic modes of expression. The third and final work, Béla Bartók's Sonata No. 1 for Violin and Piano, dates to the middle of the composer's career and the height of his modernist period, but nonetheless features the fascinating blend of folk music-inspired melodies and and rhythms that flavor the entirety of his œuvre.

Janine Jansen, Lucas Debargue, Mischa Maisky, Martin Fröst, and Torleif Thedéen—some of the greatest soloists of their generation—meet in the Verbier Church for an evening of music marked by difficult times.
The concert opens with two Piano Trios by Shostakovich. The composer was barely 17 when he composed the first trio, a work that is rarely performed nowadays. Some 20 years later, he dedicated his second Trio, composed in 1944 during World War II, in memory of his friend who had suddenly disappeared: the musicologist, art historian, literary and music critic Ivan I. Sollertinski. The trios are followed by Messiaen's Quatuor pour la fin du temps (Quartet for the End of Time), written during the composer's captivity in a German prisoner-of-war camp in 1940-1941. Inspired by the story of the Apocalypse of Saint John, the score contains the following quotation: “In homage to the Angel of the Apocalypse, who lifts his hand toward heaven, saying, ‘There shall be time no longer.’ ”

Alexander Konstantinovich Glazunov, From the Middle Ages, Op. 79
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Violin Concerto in D Major, Op. 35
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Symphony No. 4 in F Minor, Op. 36
Mikhaïl Pletnev and the Verbier Festival Orchestra close the 2017 Verbier Festival with a concert dedicated to Russian composers. Janine Jansen joins them for Tchaikovsky's magnificent Violin Concerto.
The evening begins with a rare treat: the Prelude from Glazounov's 1902 orchestral suite From the Middle Ages. Evoking medieval Europe through opera without words, the suite portrays a passionate young couple blissfully ignorant of the furious storm that surrounds them. The brilliant violinist Janine Jansen then performs Tchaikovsky's beloved Violin Concerto in D Major, one of the most beautiful and technically-challenging of its genre. Despite the work's success, the composer never wrote another violin concerto.
----------------------------
Pozornému čtenáři jistě neunikl velký počet ruských interpretů a skladatelů. Bezpochyby to souvisí s tím, že významným, možná největším sponzorem festivalu je Neva Fondation Timchenko, nezisková organizace se sídlem v Ženevě. Jejím zakladatelem je Genadij Timchenko, jeden z miliardářů náležejících k nejbližšímu okruhu důvěrníků VV Putina, takže v podstatě realizuje ruskou státní politiku. Švýcarské aktivity nadace jsou však mnohem širší a pokud jde o festival ve Verbier, lze konstatovat, že si ho Rusko do značné míry koupilo. Podobné zahraniční aktivity na území Ruska jsou nežádoucí a osoby s nimi spojené jsou považovány za zahraniční agenty.
