Martha Argerich in Verbier

Release Date: 29 July 2022
Martha Argerich, one of today’s iconic and most loved and honoured classical musicians, releases a pre-release track of the finale of Prokofiev’s 3rd piano concerto. Recorded at the Verbier Festival in 2001, it is part of the new album “Martha Argerich in Verbier” (to be released on 29 July) presenting the full 2001 performance of the Prokofiev 3rd piano concerto with Yuri Termikanov conducting the Verbier Festival Orchestra and a performance of Haydn’s Piano Trio No. 39 with Mischa Maisky and Vadim Repin from the 2000 Verbier Festival.

Daniil Trifonov – Chamber Music

Release Date: September 2022

Daniil Trifonov, the great Russian virtuoso, is perhaps best known for his bewildering prowess as a solo pianist. Yet deep in his heart lies a passionate love for chamber music, sparked by unique collaborations with close friends during his summers at the Verbier Festival. This release features two iconic Trios from independent realms of the repertoire. First, Trifonov is joined by violinist Ilya Gringolts and cellist Truls Mørk for an emblazoned reading of Beethoven’s “Geistertrio”. This offering is beautifully paired with the G Minor Piano Trio of Bedřich Smetana, which features radiant performances from fellow-superstars Leonidas Kavakos and Gautier Capuçon.
