Program notes
A chamber music concert featuring an all-star group of musicians... Martha Argerich, Joshua Bell, Henning Kraggerud, Yuri Bashmet, and Mischa Maisky perform Shostakovich's Piano Quintet—a work for which the composer received the Stalin Prize despite intense censorship of his œuvre in previous years by the Soviet power. Bruch's Kol Nidrei follows, with Mischa Maisky being accompanied by the Verbier Festival Chamber Orchestra.
