Salle des Combins is the Verbier Festival’s main concert hall. It normally seats 1,419. Each row is on a separate tier, which guarantees an excellent view of the stage. Improvements to the soundproofing and heat insulation make this a very high-quality non-permanent venue. All of the Festival’s symphonic concerts, operas, large world music, jazz, dance events and some recitals are presented here.

Programme
Solomon Rosowsky: Fantastic Dance on Hebrew Themes for Piano Trio, Op. 6
Igor Stravinsky: Baal Shem suite
Ernest Bloch: ‘From Jewish Life’ for Cello and Piano
Dmitri Shostakovich: Piano Trio no. 2 in E minor, Op.67
Overview
A remarkable ensemble of Joshua Bell, Steven Isserlis and Evgeny Kissin perform a selection of works written by Jewish composers, plus Shostakovich’s Trio for violin, cello and piano, inspired by Jewish themes.
A pupil of Liadov and Rimsky Korsakov, Solomon Rosowsky penned his Fantastic Dance for piano trio in 1907. Based on a Jewish song, it opens with a recitative-like passage. Ernst Bloch’s From Jewish Life for cello dates from 1924, and consists of Prayer, Supplication and Jewish Song. An intensely lyrical work, its melancholy is heightened by the use of quartertones. Baal Shem for violin, written the previous year, opens with Vidui (Contrition), a prayer of repentance, before Nigun (Improvisation) evokes a genre of Hassidic song designed to be spiritually transcendental. Simchas Torah then celebrates the Rejoicing in the Law festival. Shostakovich’s elegiac Piano Trio No. 2 of 1944 was dedicated the close friend he’d just lost to a heart attack, writer Ivan Sollertinsky, while also remembering Russia’s wartime suffering, particularly that of its Jews.
