Verbier Festival 2024: Yamen Saadi, Julien Quentin

At the 2024 Verbier Festival, violinist Yamen Saadi teams up with versatile pianist Julien Quentin. From the very first note Saadi plays with enormous intensity and beguiling delicacy, as they open the chamber concert with Ysaÿe’s Poème élégiaque before moving on to Franck’s Sonata in A and Strauss’s Sonata (Op. 18) and Morgen! (Op. 27, No. 4). To bring the programme to a grand finale, Saadi and Quentin perform Dvorak’s and Kreisler’s Slavonic Fantasy.
