VFCO / GÁBOR TAKÁCS-NAGY / MARC BOUCHKOV

MOZART, HAYDN

Violinist Marc Bouchkov is a favorite at the Verbier Festival. One of the few remaining violinists to possess an instantly recognizable sound, his playing unites old-world refinement, exceptional precision of intonation and a tone of intense, luminous beauty. With a respect for the great violin tradition, he brings to his performances both ease and a powerful contemporary energy that speaks directly to today’s audiences.

GÁBOR TAKÁCS-NAGY / MARTIN FRÖST

Brahms, Mozart, G. Fröst, M. Fröst, Mendelssohn

Gábor Takács-Nagy and Martin Fröst take us on a thrilling musical journey. After Brahms’s irresistible Hungarian Dances, the clarinet reveals its full emotional power (Mozart’s Concerto) and its astonishing rhythmic agility (Nomadic Dances by the Fröst brothers). To close, we finally reach safe harbour in the northern mists of Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 3 ‘Scottish’. Happy the traveller who, like the Verbier Festival Chamber Orchestra, has made a fine voyage…

GÁBOR TAKÁCS-NAGY / DANIIL TRIFONOV

Beethoven, Schumann

With the musical intelligence that is his hallmark, Gábor Takács-Nagy marks the bicentenary of Beethoven’s death in a programme of real individuality. Alongside Schumann’s celebrated Symphony No. 3, the Music Director of the Verbier Festival Chamber Orchestra presents two Beethoven rarities: his first concerto, written at the age of 13, and the finale intended for his ‘true’ first piano concerto. The great Daniil Trifonov performs these two gems, well worth rediscovering.

LAHAV SHANI / AUGUSTIN HADELICH

Beethoven

The Violin Concerto is a monument of Beethoven’s output. And when this musical Everest is played by the radiant bow of Augustin Hadelich, it promises a summit meeting extended by the youthful (and already fierce) Symphony No. 2 conducted by Lahav Shani.

NIKOLAJ SZEPS-ZNAIDER / NOBUYUKI TSUJII

Conductor Nikolaj Szeps-Znaider leads a fascinating programme. On the one hand, one of the most famous concertos in the repertoire, Rachmaninoff’s Second, performed by the Japanese pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii. On the other, a magnificent work, sadly too rarely heard because overshadowed by the success of the ‘New World’ Symphony, Dvořák’s Symphony No. 7.
