MENAHEM PRESSLER IN VERBIER

Our first release in 2025 on our joint label Verbier Festival Gold is of pianist Menahem Pressler performing a selection of solo and chamber works by Chopin, Debussy and Schubert. Pressler spent ten consecutive summers in Verbier from 2008 and was a beloved source of inspiration at the Verbier Festival, captivating audiences and mentoring young artists.

Pressler conveys his deep love for music — and for life itself — with unparalleled grace through this repertoire. “If you want your life to be rich, love sincerely,” he whispers through every note he plays. His touch at the piano, still breathtakingly beautiful, is a testament to his lifelong devotion to the art.

Listen to a pre-release track, a live recording of Chopin’s joyful and energetic Mazurka No. 5 in B-Flat Major, Op. 7 No. 1 Vivace. A video recording of the performance also comes out today. The full album will be released digitally on 21 March and is now available for pre-order.
