Salle des Combins

Piano legend Martha Argerich makes a hugely anticipated appearance at the 2022 Verbier Festival, joining the gregarious Gábor Takács-Nagy, the Verbier Festival Chamber Orchestra, an acclaimed lineup of vocalists, and the Münchener Bach-Chor for an all-Beethoven evening at the Salle des Combins!

Argerich opens the festivities as the soloist in Beethoven's sparkling Piano Concerto No. 1 in C Major, bold and innovative, a work of great stature perfectly suited to the pianist's storied talents, expressive capacity, and faultless technique. We then remain in the company of Beethoven with the Münchener Bach-Chor and world-class soloists like Maria Dan and Ema Nikolovska for the immortal Symphony No. 9 in D Minor. Composed in 1824, this monumental work occupies a stratospheric place in the classical pantheon, celebrated for its all-encompassing grandeur and the exaltation of its final theme based on Schiller's "Ode to Joy," an apotheosis of emotion and a celebration of love and human endeavor.

The legendary Martha Argerich brings beauty, control and majesty to a night of Beethoven with his First Piano Concerto, performed alongside Gábor Tákacs-Nagy and the Verbier Festival Chamber Orchestra. The programme also features the Ninth Symphony with esteemed soloists and the Münchener Bach-Chor.

Written between 1795 and 1800, Beethoven’s First Piano Concerto displays the audible influence of Mozart, but also Beethoven’s own bold originality such as the new scale of its martial-sounding first movement’s orchestral introduction. The Largo sees clarinet colour play a starring role, before a vivacious rondo finale. His groundbreaking innovations were at their zenith, though, for his ‘Choral’ Ninth Symphony of 1824. At over an hour in length, its size was unprecedented, as was its use of a chorus and vocal soloists. Equally revolutionary was its epic dramatic scale: mysterious, elemental opening bars, from which explode a shattering fanfare. Then, following an energetic Scherzo and Trio, and a sublime Adagio, a return to the very beginning’s darkness – before its banishment by the arrival of the famous jubilant theme,and lyrics by Beethoven and Friedrich Schiller urging us to reject those opening sounds and instead embrace joy.

English

Den legendariska Martha Argerich för med sig skönhet, kontroll och majestät till en kväll med Beethoven med sin första pianokonsert, framförd tillsammans med Gábor Tákacs-Nagy och Verbier Festival Chamber Orchestra. På programmet står också den nionde symfonin med uppskattade solister och Münchener Bach-Chor.

Beethovens första pianokonsert, som skrevs mellan 1795 och 1800, visar Mozarts hörbara inflytande, men också Beethovens egen djärva originalitet, såsom den nya skalan av dess kampliknande första satsens orkesterinledning. The Largo ser klarinettfärg spela en huvudroll, innan en livlig rondofinal. Hans banbrytande innovationer var dock på sin zenit för hans "Choral" nionde symfoni från 1824. Med en längd på över en timme var dess storlek oöverträffad, liksom användningen av en kör och sångsolister. Lika revolutionerande var dess episka dramatiska skala: mystiska, elementära öppna takter, från vilka en skakande fanfar exploderar. Sedan, efter ett energiskt Scherzo och Trio, och ett sublimt Adagio, en återgång till börjans mörker – innan dess förvisning genom ankomsten av det berömda jublande temat, och texter av Beethoven och Friedrich Schiller uppmanar oss att förkasta dessa öppningsljud och istället omfamna glädjen.
