	violinlover: Biography of Maxim Vengerov
		Maxim decided at that moment that he wanted to learn the violin, partly because he wanted to be seen but also that it was the nearest instrument to his mother’s voice.
		Maxim was very happy to have the use of a ‘Strad’ again (he had been loaned one for a time when he was in Russia) and was able to use it on the recording of the Bruch and Mendelssohn concerti with Kurt Masur and the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra.
		Maxim is very frequently hailed as being the greatest living violinist and is certainly regarded as being amongst the top performers, but to become so has involved him in years of exceptionally hard work from the time he was five years old.

	: Maxim Vengerov ~ DvorÃ¡k, Elgar - Musik CDer
		Vengerov is a brilliant virtuoso, but the most immediately striking feature of his playing is his tone: dark, warm, radiant, intense, vibrant, infinitely variable, and unfailingly expressive.
		Vengerov's recording of Dvorak's Violin Concerto with Kurt Masur conducting the New York Philharmonic is one of the finest recordings of violin concerti that I've heard.
		Vengerov, whom I believe to be the finest violinst around - his interpretations are purely magical, his tone simply gorgeous - and this is one of the nicest classical recordings I have heard in sometime.

		It is hard to square this new saintly Vengerov image with his recent press photos, which show him in various “come-hither” poses on a purple bed, and with a violin placed equivocally at crotch level.
		Vengerov played this Bach on his Kreutzer Strad, since his baroque violin was “sick.” He held the baroque bow in the “authentic” way, a handspan from the frog.
		Vengerov said the man was “absolutely right” and admitted that he often improvised the line once he had the notes.

		A few days before this concert, Maxim Vengerov had been playing this same concerto under the baton of Lorin Maazel and the New York Philharmonic.
		Vengerov’s own entry — assimilated from within the coda of the opening — brought with it a sense of acoustic awareness, of tonal sweetness allied with breadth of phrasing.
		Vengerov’s stature as one of the great interpreters of the concerto seemed radicalised by it and it makes Sir Colin Davis’ forthcoming cycle of the piano concertos with Evgeny Kissin a more interesting prospect than one had first thought.

		It was not their fault that the organizers had not seen fit to make any mention of the fact that Vengerov would be playing a baroque violin in the first half of the concert.
		It was fascinating to observe Vengerov navigating the elaborate variations on what must still be to him an unfamiliar instrument, in spite of the time he has spent on it.
		Vengerov has always demonstrated great maturity in his playing of Mozart, music which is curiously elusive and a trap for many of the most accomplished players.

	BBC - Classical Review - Britten/Walton: Concertos for Violin and Viola, Maxim Vengerov
		Slowly but surely, Maxim Vengerov is working his way through some of the 20th century's greatest violin concertos, and it's no coincidence that his friend and musical mentor Mstislav Rostropovich is on hand to conduct.
		Vengerov's love for the piece flows from every pore, and his stellar technique allows him more freedom to explore the musical and emotional implications of the score.
		Vengerov knows that the Violin Concerto is in part a memorial to those who gave their lives fighting Franco in the Spanish Civil War (which ended in defeat for the democrats while Britten worked on it), yet he finds room for joyful exuberance in the scherzo...which only heightens the pathos of the finale.

		It is certainly of interest that Vengerov has up to now only recorded one Mozart Sonata and hardly ever plays a Mozart concerto in public - the very reason being that he regards Mozart as the ultimate composer for a violinist.
		The audience went wild, but Vengerov stopped the applause and instead started talking about Ysaye and his admiration of Bach, his admiration of the great violinists of his time and about the echo-effect, Bach as well as Ysaye use, a subtle lead-in to the Echo Sonata, Op.
		An encore, an Adagio by Bach, followed and before Maxim Vengerov finished his recital with the Balalaika Op.100 by Shchedrin, dedicated to him, he invited the audience to ask him questions.

		Vengerov took time off, he was one of the most popular young violinists of the day, and his recital offered plenty of reminders why.
		Vengerov tore into the wild second movement with impressive power, the piece overall fell short of the bone-chilling extremes to which it can be taken.
		Vengerov in some of the first movement's would-be haunting passages, like the hushed shivery scales that the composer famously likened to "wind in a graveyard." Their reading of the finale also could have benefited from more unity of intention and execution.

	Maxim Vengerov - Sensitive Strings
		Vengerov is much more than a hugely gifted violinist who racks up trophies and honours, gives recitals all over the world, (most often sold out), and sells recordings almost as easily as pop stars do (to the infinite satisfaction of EMI, his record company).
		Like his elders, Barenboim and Rostropovich, Vengerov is beginning to have an occasional itch to try the conductor's baton, gleaning precious advice (when his overbooked timetable permits) from various conductors and working on conducting technique with his pianist Vag Papian.
		Vengerov will be giving a solo recital (a treat for him)--"A real violin adventure"--a dream he's had for a long time.

	Classical Music :: The Classical Source :: LSO/Chung Maxim Vengerov :: Classical Music
		Be that as it may, Maxim Vengerov, playing this work with the LSO for the umpteenth time (!), seems firmly of the opinion that this is how the first movement goes.
		When Vengerov played the lovely second subject it failed to contrast with the more energetic music heard earlier because it had been played in so lethargic a manner.
		Vengerov set a more sensible tempo for the finale, but, by then, everyone on the platform, including the conductor, seemed to have succumbed to the somnolent approach already established.

		Whatever these three Frenchmen throw at him, Vengerov can play the dots; it's what he does with them here that's so impressive, making the music speak as powerfully and colourfully as possible, and with the kind of freedom and instinctive gesture that only a stellar technique allows.
		It's going to be right over the top for some listeners, but surely it's in the spirit of the gypsy fiddle tradition that inspired it, and the left-hand pizzicato passages are astonishing, spitting venomously and with awesome precision.
