The Verbier Festival is an international classical music event that takes place each summer in the mountain town of Verbier, Switzerland. The Festival’s mission is to build a community of exchange between great masters and young artists from all over the world and to be a leader in its field by providing meaningful music education programmes.
Frisch trabe sonder Ruh und Rast, Mein gutes Ross, durch Nacht und Regen! Was scheust du dich vor Busch und Ast Und strauchelst auf den wilden Wegen? Dehnt auch der Wald sich tief und dicht, Doch muss er endlich sich erschliessen, Und freundlich wird ein fernes Licht Uns aus dem dunkeln Tale grüssen. Wohl könnt’ ich über Berg und Feld Auf deinem schlanken Rücken fliegen Und mich am bunten Spiel der Welt, An holden Bildern mich vergnügen. Manch Auge lacht mir traulich zu Und beut mir Frieden, Lieb’ und Freude. Und dennoch eil’ ich ohne Ruh Zurück, zurück zu meinem Leide. Denn schon drei Tage war ich fern Von ihr, die ewig mich gebunden, Drei Tage waren Sonn’ und Stern Und Erd’ und Himmel mir verschwunden. Von Lust und Leiden, die mein Herz Bei ihr bald heilten, bald zerrissen, Fühlt’ ich drei Tage nur den Schmerz, Und ach! die Freude musst’ ich missen! Weit sehn wir über Land und See Zur wärmern Flur den Vogel fliegen; Wie sollte denn die Liebe je In ihrem Pfade sich betrügen? Drum trabe mutig durch die Nacht! Und schwinden auch die dunkeln Bahnen, Der Sehnsucht helles Auge wacht, Und sicher führt mich süsses Ahnen. Trot briskly on, my good horse, without pause for rest, through night and rain! Why do you shy at bush and branch and stumble on the wild paths? Though the forest stretches deep and dense it must at last open up, and a distant light will greet us warmly from the dark valley. I could cheerfully speed over mountain and field on your lithe back, and enjoy the world’s varied delights, its fair sights. Many an eye smiles at me affectionately, offering peace, love and joy. And yet, restlessly, I hasten back to my sorrow. For three days now I have been far from her to whom I am eternally bound; for three days sun and stars, earth and heaven, have vanished for me. Of the joy and sorrow which, when I was with her, now healed, now tore my heart, I have for three days felt only the pain. Alas, the joy I have had to forgo! We watch the bird fly far away over land and sea to warmer pastures. How, then, should love ever be deceived in its course? So trot bravely on through the night! Though the dark tracks may vanish, the bright eye of longing is awake, and sweet presentiment guides me safely onwards.
I am very much in agreement about a a certain amount of time after the last note has been played. It is a Holistic experience in my Mind. over the last 20 years ago or so here in the U.S. i experienced as a player and when i am a Listener that in popular Music shouting and other sounds became too much of the Norm to let the Performer know how exiting it was. and i understand that too , but to a certain degree. pf course in a Classical Music setting that beautiful silence during and after the Piece is ended, is a Purifying Ritual. Schiff is so in tune with with all of that.

These suggestive shootings are the best prove, you need a festival mascotte, to bring the daily news and entertain the audience, for how delightful is this .. heavenly landscape, l would suggest you, let it the festival go on for three months all Summer holidays long .why not? The latest TV talents show brought us so many young performers, they need to date their new supporters in such iconic locations..we bring in the electrical bicycles TukTuk cab service for all guests. How come you do not have yet local tiny cars similar the Golf playing areas? Some underground parking lots and subway resort hotels...yeah, music is waking up our senses to life friends, this latest perfect capitalism brought people living like zombies, dead men walking and we need to switch this trend, Ok? We need to point on humankind life quality and learning how to live in good harmony with the environment, in symbiotic relationship with the Holy Creation..think about it friends Ok?
