10 July 2025 – Vevey (Switzerland) – The Verbier Festival is releasing another album under its prestigious joint label Verbier Festival Gold, in collaboration with Deutsche Grammophon. Since 2022, the Verbier Festival has released a collection of more than 30 albums, offering a treasure trove of rare recordings from its archives.
Yuri Temirkanov conducts Tchaikovsky is now available on all streaming platforms.
A legendary figure at the Verbier Festival since 1994, Yuri Temirkanov was not only one of its most devoted conductors but also a guiding presence for generations of young musicians. Former assistant to Evgeny Mravinsky, Yuri Temirkanov is one of the main representatives of Russian music. A discreet maestro, Temirkanov was admired for his uncompromising artistic integrity and his deep understanding of the repertoire, particularly the works of Tchaikovsky, which he conducted with unmatched sensitivity. His performances, shaped by a lifetime dedicated to music, resonated with the brilliance and passion of his Leningrad heritage. His interpretation of Swan Lake, a piece he conducted countless times throughout his career, was always a highlight, offering both musicians and audiences a glimpse into his profound connection with Russian music. His legacy at Verbier endures, woven into the fabric of the festival he helped shape for so many summers.
