Janine Jansen
The Verbier Festival, an international classical music event, has been bringing together renowned artists and emerging talents in the Swiss mountain village of Verbier every summer since 1994. The festival is known for its exceptional chamber music performances. For the special 2020 edition, which took place digitally, Deutsche Grammophon released four impressive live recordings from previous festival years as digital albums. A particular gem among them is Shostakovich's Piano Trio No. 1, Op. 8 (formerly known as "Poème") in a sensitive and expressive interpretation by Janine Jansen, Lucas Debargue, and Mischa Maisky – a musical love letter that enchants audiences.
