There is talent in Switzerland! And that is a fact that the Gstaad Menuhin Festival is happy to emphasize year after year with the concert cycle “Top of Switzerland”. The two Swiss artists on the completely classic programme are well known at the Festival: violinist Esther Hoppe from Zug and cellist Christian Poltéra from Zurich. The concert features not only Beethoven’s “Ghost” Trio and Haydn’s Trio in E-flat, but Schubert’s Trio Op. 100, which instantly became famous thanks to Stanley Kubrick’s film “Barry Lyndon”. Did you know that the Andante theme that Kubrick employed is taken from a traditional Swedish folk song, “Se solen sjunker” (Watch the Sun Set)?
