- Synopsis:
The 'Verbier Festival' is arguably one of the most prestigious classical music events in the world. The quality of the participating artists as well as the originality of the programmes has established the festival as a culminating point in the music season. This series of TV programmes by 'Ideale' Audience present the highlights of the Verbier Festival 2011, featuring renowned artists such as Martha Argerich, Evgeny Kissin, Lars Vogt, Yuja Wang, Renaud Capuçon, Khatia Buniatishvili, and Nelson Goerner. Filmed during the 18th edition of the Verbier Festival. Martin Helmchen, in his 2011 Verbier Festival recital, presents a program of Bach, Liszt and Beethoven. The adaptability of his technique is on display, as he moves with ease from the incessant rhythm of a Bach dance, through the filigree of Liszt's virtuosic showpieces, to the dense counterpoint so typical of Beethoven's late works. An artist who connects seriousness and wistfulness with success, the audience is truly drawn in through his expressive playing and gesture, vividly captured in this recording. - Studio:
