As if the offerings from Medici.tv weren't enough, Deutsche Grammophon is streaming some this year's Verbier Festival concerts on its site as well, here, through the end of August. And for those who missed the 2007 Verbier offerings (or like me, who just want to watch them again), some of those are available here through the end of September.
One highlight: conductor Mikhail Pletnev and the UBS Verbier Festival Orchestra fueling Martha Argerich's explosive reading of the Prokofiev Third Piano Concerto. Yes, she's played this piece countless times, but I doubt most people have experienced such thrilling close-ups of her hands.
