Verbier Festival 2022
The classical world's most anticipated, highest-altitude festival of the year returned in summer 2022. The Verbier Festival came back on July 15 – 31, 2022. It brought the biggest and brightest stars in classical music, revisiting favorite works and taking on brand-new repertoire in the storied Salle des Combins and Verbier Église. Beloved performers of Verbiers past are once again on the docket—alongside some exciting Verbier debuts—in this blockbuster event from the gorgeous Swiss Alps, where the only thing more breathtaking than the view is the music.
Programme
Ludwig van Beethoven: Cello Sonata no. 1 in F major, Op.5 no.1
Ludwig van Beethoven: Cello Sonata no. 4 in C major, Op.102 no.1
Ludwig van Beethoven: 12 Variations on Ein Mädchen oder Weibchen, Op.66
Ludwig van Beethoven: Cello Sonata no. 3 in A major, Op.69
Overview
Beethoven’s First Cello Sonata of 1797 is one of a pair written for Jean-Pierre Duport, first cellist at the Berlin court of King Friedrich Wilhelm II. Piano leads in its slow introduction, before an Allegro full of major-minor switches, and a rustic Rondo finale. Composed in 1815, No 4 in C major’s expressive Andante introduction opens in close conversation. A leaping octaves theme then ushers in the minor-keyed Allegro vivace, after which the second movement moves from an Adagio recalling the Andante to another Allegro vivace. The variations on The Magic Flute’s ‘Ein Mädchen oder Weibchen’ probably date from 1798. Sonata No 3 meanwhile dates from 1808, the same year as the Fifth and Sixth Symphonies. Its first movement opens strikingly with serene solo cello. Next comes an urgent Scherzo playing with offbeat accents, before a miniature Adagio cantabile leads to a virtuosic finale.
