Lars Vogt's performances at the 2011 Verbier Festival offer a thought-provoking and varied programme. Works by some of the leading composers of the classical repertoire - Mozart, Schubert, Beethoven and Brahms - receive a melancholic introduction with Janacek's In the Mists. The sense of unity delivered by Vogt's playing strikes equally in the subtle balance required of a Brahms Intermezzo and the boisterousness and elevation of Beethoven's last piano sonata. In Mozart's Piano Concerto, K. 451, Vogt proves himself to be equally skilled as a concerto soloist, blending in the orchestral writing with perfect ease.
