Interview in Verbier – 22-07-2009

Two performers hurling themselves into the Alpine life at the Verbier Festival this year are cellist Mischa Maisky and violinist Vadim Repin. Repin was given the extraordinary honour of awarding the Yellow Jersey to the Verbier stage winner of the Tour de France, and Maisky always makes the festival a familiy affair. They talk about performing with Rene Pape, Lang Lang, Thomas Quasthoff and Bryn Terfel. 22-07-2009
