Today in Verbier a very promising Verdi Requiem live at 6:30pm.
Last Saturday a very promising 1st recital in Verbier by Alexandra Dovgan.
Autenthicity, musicality, no histrionics, and a splendid program: Bach’s e-minor Partita, Beethoven’s “Farewell-Sonata, Brahms’ Haendel-Variations.
And who plays the shameful grandma ?
I was only once at Verbier in the days when performances took place in a tent. There were some excellent performances but it was then very much a Festival primarily for the rich. Has it changed?
Not that much, I’m afraid.
Neverthless, lots of young, very young attenders, mainly because of the packed Academy masterclasses!
LEAVE THIS ALONE, folks! I have known Blythe Teh since 1998, and can share that she is both a worthy musician and a more than worthy mind capable of owning and conquering this new role!
Blythe is amazing!! Good for her and the festival!!!
