Valery Klimov - Violin Recital [LP]

Must- Have LP Record: Valery Klimov - Violin Recital

These unpublished performances were made in concert in Sion, Switzerland during the Tibor Varga Festival of July 16th, 1975 at L’église des Jésuites. It was the first appearance in Switzerland of Valery Klimov, personally invited by Tibor Varga.

This recording captures a remarkable live performance by Valery Klimov and his longtime collaborator, Leonid Blok (1936-2016) at the 12th Tibor Varga Festival in Sion, Switzerland, on July 16, 1975. The event was organised by Tibor Varga himself, who personally invited the two musicians. While the spotlight often falls on the main performer, it is essential to recognise Blok’s significant contribution to this memorable performance. Due to time constraints, the production had to exclude several minutes of enthusiastic applause from the audience.
