Salle des Combins is the Verbier Festival’s main concert hall. It normally seats 1,419. Each row is on a separate tier, which guarantees an excellent view of the stage. Improvements to the soundproofing and heat insulation make this a very high-quality non-permanent venue. All of the Festival’s symphonic concerts, operas, large world music, jazz, dance events and some recitals are presented here.

Programme
Pyotr Tchaikovsky: Piano Trio in A minor, "In memory of a Great Artist" Op.50
Overview
Setting the scene for another unforgettable concert, Janine Jansen, Mischa Maisky and Mikhaïl Pletnev meet together on stage for a special Rencontres Inédites performing Tchaikovsky’s Trio for piano, violin and cello Op. 50.
Tchaikovsky’s symphonic-length Piano Trio in A minor was to the memory of his friend, the pianist and conductor Arthur Rubinstein, who had died from tuberculosis aged 45. While previously he’d vowed never to write a trio (“the different timbres of these instruments sound as if they are battling one another. I find it genuine torture to listen to”), he was very pleased with it, albeit while worrying it may be “an arrangement of orchestral music”. The first movement opens mournfully, but moves through multiple keys, tempi and moods. The second is a nostalgia-toned theme and variations including an energetic fugue and a playful mazurka. After a flamboyant A major Variazione finale, A minor returns for the Lugubre coda reintroducing the work’s very opening theme as a fortississimo tragic lamentation. It eventually slows to finish on a quiet, exhausted funeral march.
