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
Franz Schubert: Piano Sonata no. 18 in G major, D.894
Johannes Brahms: Six Piano Pieces, Op.118
Overview
Arcadi Volodos showcases his unique sense of rhythm, color and poetry through the works of two great piano masters, Franz Schubert and Johannes Brahms.
Published in 1790, Clementi’s Op. 25 Sonata in F-sharp minor feels decades ahead of its time in terms of its deeply felt, Romantic poeticism. Its first two movements especially cause the Chopin Ballades to spring to mind. The first movement combines fleetly capricious semiquaver bursts, sharp dynamic contrasts and sudden changes of melodic and harmonic direction to create an almost improvisatory quality. The slow movement then presents a huge range of melancholic expression, before a racing, rippling concluding Presto. Schubert’s Piano Sonata No. 17 in D major was composed during a rare pocket of happiness, on an alpine summer holiday. A jubilantly rushing Allegro leads to a serene Andante. Then after a Scherzo with lively dotted rhythms and a smoother trio, the concluding Rondo’s main theme underpins a pastoral-feeling melody with a march beat.
