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
Clara Schumann: Three Romances for violin and piano Op.22
Johannes Brahms: Violin Sonata no. 1 in G major, Op.78
Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy: Piano Trio no. 1 in D minor, Op.49
Overview
Cellist Mischa Maisky performs with his son, violinist Sascha Maisky, and daughter, pianist Lily Maisky, in a delightful encounter with music from the Romantic period, featuring Clara Schumann, Brahms and Mendelssohn.
Clara Schumann’s Three Romances for violin were written in 1853 – the lull before her personal storm of 1854, when Robert Schumann attempted suicide. No 1 is a lyrical Andante molto. A hint of gypsy enters for the Allegretto, before No 3 presents a long-breathed violin melody over rapturously rippling piano figures. Their friend Brahms’s ‘Regenlied’ D minor Violin Sonata was completed in 1879, and its darker emotional palette (even its loving central Adagio appears to wrestle with destiny) no doubt reflects the loss in 1878 of now-widowed Clara’s 24 year old son, Felix, to tuberculosis. He was named after Felix Mendelssohn, whose Piano Trio No 1 of 1839 was described by Robert as ‘the master trio of our age’. Its first movement sails a smooth theme over restless piano writing. After a tender Andante, pianistic virtuosity reaches fresh heights for the Scherzo, before an urgent Finale.
