The motto of this year's Swiss Alps Classics is "Festival of the Violin". This is the sixth time that the Reichel family invites you to Andermatt and the surrounding area, and four concerts will feature young up-and-coming artists and shooting stars as well as established artists of the classical music scene.
Discover it with GlobeAir and let yourself be immersed in the magical atmosphere of the Andermatt region, which once also inspired Goethe and Liszt, with comfort and style.
*the choice of the hotel is subjected to availability and the client's preference.
The sixth edition of the Swiss Alps Classics, founded in 2017 by Peter-Michael Reichel, is entitled Festival of the Violin: Three violinists of different generations and countries of origin will highlight this year's event from June 9 to 12.
Peter-Michael Reichel remarks: "After two years of weathering Corona with effective safety measures, we are now looking forward to returning to business. We hope that our visitors will enjoy the concerts without any restrictions. The Festival of the Violin has a fitting symbolism for the Swiss Alps Classics: The violin is about emotion and the spirit. Our concert backdrops in the breathtakingly beautiful Swiss Alps are spiritual venues where countless emotions are unleashed."
Artistic director Clemens Hellsberg adds: "As a violinist, I am thrilled by these performers' fantastic skill and ravishing musicality, who are so different from one another and alike in their mastery of this magnificent instrument."
The Austrian BENJAMIN SCHMID (b. 1968), a permanent fixture in the international concert scene for three decades, will make his second guest appearance at Swiss Alps Classics since 2018. Together with pianist ANDREA LINSBAUER, he will present an evening in honour of the violinist Fritz Kreisler, who passed away in New York in 1962, on June 10(7 pm) at the 5-star Superior Hotel The Chedi Andermatt. His enchanting miniatures for violin are part of the repertoire of most violinists but are usually "only" heard as recital encores. Benjamin Schmid and Andrea Linsbauer dedicate their entire program to Viennese-born Fritz Kreisler, which will be moderated by Austrian dramaturge and author CHRISTOPH WAGNER-TRENKWITZ.
ZIYU HE was born in 1999 in Quingdao (China) and studied violin at the Mozarteum University Salzburg in 2011. In 2014, he won the Eurovision Young Musicians Competition, and in 2017 he made his debut as a soloist with the Vienna Philharmonic. He has since gone on to forge an impressive international career. Together with his chamber music partner, renowned pianist CHRISTOPHER HINTERHUBER, professor at the Vienna University of Music, he will present a program on June 11 (6:30 pm) at the Andermatt Concert Hall, which opened in 2019. The program includes "classic" works by Ludwig van Beethoven and Johannes Brahms and virtuoso pieces by Niccolò Paganini, Pablo de Sarasate, and Maurice Ravel.
The debut of MAXIM BRILINSKY – born in 1985 in Lviv, Ukraine – promises to be especially moving! In 2002, he won second prize at the Premio Paganini in Genoa, and, since 2011, he has been a member of the Vienna Philharmonic. During the concert on June 12 (7:30 pm), he will perform duos in various instrumentations together with LUCAS STRATMANN (orchestra of the Vienna State Opera), ROBERT BAUERSTATTER (Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra) and BENEDIKT HELLBERGER (member of the Academy of the Bruckner Orchestra Linz). He will also present two string quartets: a work by Ukrainian Boris Lyatoshinsky (1895-1968) and the Imperial Quartet by Joseph Haydn with variations on his 1797 anthem of the former Habsburg Empire, which at the time included Galicia and its capital, Lviv. With the closing concert of this year's festival, we will be guests for the first time at the enchanting Bürgenstock Resort Lake Lucerne, situated high above Lake Lucerne. We are delighted about the opportunity to expand the Swiss Alps Classics' to exciting new venues.
The Festival of the Violin will be kicked off – unexpectedly perhaps – with a piano recital: On June 9 (6 pm), at the Park Hotel Vitznau, idyllically nestled on the shores of Lake Lucerne, we will have the honour of continuing our collaboration with the POK Pühringer Privatstiftung and the Lang Lang International Music Foundation, which began in 2018. HOWEVER, ELIZABETH ZIETZ and SHUHENG ZHANG will be welcomed by a violinist: Ziyu. He will introduce the two Young Scholars and have a musical surprise in store.
