Argerich Et Al
CD Rel Date: 1985-08-28
Erato presents one of Europe’s most celebrated classical events – the annual Verbier Festival –presenting highlights from the thrilling 2014 concerts. Twenty years after the first festival, the 2014 edition was no exception, with pianists Martha Argerich, Evgeny Kissin, Daniil Trifonov and Jan Lisiecki, along with cellists Mischa Maisky and Gautier Capuçon, headlining a long list in which living legends rub shoulders with the younger generation of classical luminaries. The dynamicyoung Verbier Festival Orchestra was conducted by revered maestri Charles Dutoit (an electrifying Tchaikovsky B-flat Piano Concerto with Martha Argerich), Marc Minkowski (Beethoven Fidelio – highlights) and Daniel Harding (Verdi’s Don Carlo). The festival also commissioned two important world premieres: Rodion Shchedrin’s Moscow-Petushki Dramatic Fragment for Orchestra, and young British composer Edward Nesbit’s To Dance On Sands for eight cellos.
