Verbier Festival (1/4) - Beethoven's Archduke Trio

Verbier Festival: Alexandre Kantorow plays piano transcriptions of Schubert songs and Leonidas Kavakos, Yo-Yo Ma and Emanuel Ax join together for Beethoven's Archduke Trio.

Schubert and Beethoven from the Verbier Festival.
Sarah Walker this week presents chamber music highlights from last Summer's Verbier Festival. Celebrating its thirtieth anniversary this year, this Swiss mountain town attracts music and nature lovers from across the globe along with the world's top musicians. But its mission too is to foster a community of exchange between greatest musicians and rising artists. Today, Alexandre Kantorow, one of the leading pianists of the younger generation, plays two of Liszt's Schubert song transcriptions and an all-star trio plays Beethoven's evergreen Archduke Trio. And, to end, as part of Verbier's mentorship programme, Alexandra Dovgan plays Bach - just a few weeks after her sixteenth birthday.
