• The Verbier Festival is arguably one of the most prestigious classical music events in the world.

• The quality of the participating artists as well as the originality of the programmes has established the festival as a culminating point in the music season.

• This series of TV programmes by Idéale Audience present the highlights of the Verbier Festival 2011, featuring renowned artists such as Martha Argerich, Evgeny Kissin, Lars Vogt, Yuja Wang, Renaud Capuçon, Khatia Buniatishvili, and Nelson Goerner. Filmed during the 18th edition of the Verbier Festival.

• Lars Vogt's performance at the 2011 Verbier Festival, in the mountains of Switzerland, is an exercise in virtuosity.

• A challenging program of Janáček, Schubert, Beethoven and Brahms is followed by bonus material including a Mozart concerto and a Chopin nocturne.

• The German pianist Vogt proves himself more than up to the task, with an inspiring performance of the rarely performed In the Mists, then striking the subtle balance between the delicacy required of a Brahms Intermezzo and the boisterousness of Beethoven's last piano sonata.
