Performer: Yuri Bashmet

The Recontres inédites series is what makes the Verbier Festival famous among aficionados. The title translates – roughly – as “Unprecedented Meetings”, and that is certainly what the concerts represent: world-class soloists brought together on minimal but far from non-existent rehearsal time to play chamber music.

Die Camerata Salzburg bietet in ihrem 4. Abonnementkonzert wieder einmal ein interessantes Programm, das Yuri Bashmet zugleich als Solisten und Dirigenten zeigt.

We catch up with Yuri Bashmet ahead of his appearance with his ensemble, The Moscow Soloists, at the Istanbul Music Festival.
