The whole Dorothy Delay thing is a cult. Same with Galamian. This student really doesn't get that there was nothing there.No real teaching. Just lots of manipulation to please a fake authority, who could barely play herself.

Sasha is a remarkable young man. It's such a privilege to listen to his thoughts as a young virtuoso. The world needs inspired musicians like Sasha. A joy to listen to and I hope one day to hear him live in the UK. Perhaps the Edinburgh Festival.

I heard her improvise 10 years ago. It changed my perception of piano playing.

The best pianist from the 21st century imo

Ok, they both have such soothing voices!

“Your body is your first instrument “. Brava, Maria ❤

Maria, you are so wonderful! Thank you for years of beautiful art❤🎉

“ music is life “ , I couldn’t agree more ! So inspiring and encouraging! I think the world would be a better place and peaceful if we all do a little bit of music ! Thank you for a wonderful interview ❤

So inspiring, thank you 🙌🏻🎻❤️

great pianist and great person!

These interviews always give something to ponder…Interesting what he said about memorizing and Misha Maisky. By the time I graduated from high school I had learned and memorized most of the standard repertoire. That music I can still play memorized in my sleep!Now that I am older and performing more living composers, I find myself asking is it now harder to memorize at my age? 🤔 I think it may be because after all these years of experience, I am learning and refining so quickly, that it is not quite enough time yet to also memorize. My learning is that much quicker now. Could that be the case with Misha, as Mao mentioned?🤔 Anyway, these interviews are always very thought provoking. Thank you for that!

It’s true. I learned and memorized most of standard piano repertoire before graduating from high school. Those pieces, even without practicing, I can play in my sleep. Now at much older age, I have been playing living composers and find myself thinking, are these just harder to memorize?🤔

Zsolt,,interesting vid. My perspectives of Maxim. He was very well recorded early on his career,he then seemed to take a break but is now returning on his own terms. An interesting view of so many artists who got caught up in the changes of the recording industry.

i'm thinking ......empty words i should be working on my Bach , Zsolt asks for me 17:06

Thank you both so much for sharing and talking so honestly ✨✨✨wonderful to listen!🙏

Jeu perlé-My teacher Joseph Villa spoke of that and I havenever heard anyone else use that term! And making a piano or repertoire choice-it always feels like the wrong one, LOL!!!!

Her Debussy was lovely!❤

What energy! Thank you!

I would just like to say congratulations and thank you to the incredible host, Zsolt Bognar! All the questions in this interview were so well formulated and addressed. He really managed to touch on the most important topics of being a professional musician. Great interview!

Thanks for this interview 👍

Wonderful interview! Zsolt, you know so well which question to ask to trigger fabulous responses from your guests. And I love how you let them speak on, while many interviewers keep pushing and interrupting. Thank you.

Maxim becomes radiant when talking music. His eyes shine! There is not even a skerrick of boastfulness about him; just genuine humility in the face of what he experiences as great privilege. He is also a thoroughly kind and honest person who is good to everyone. Marvellous interview. Thank you, Zsolt.

Ben Zander -- an amazing enlightened being. He embodies what he teaches. He is an irresistible human story made of music.

Zsolt describes the humor in Maxim. And I’m hearing, from Maxim Vengerov, tremendous gratitude behind his performing and that music is “about sharing first of all.” Sorry to post several here; but I was blown away by what I took away…. From this extraordinary interview.

“When you play Beethoven, you cannot put yourself first.” Music. “Offers audiences time travel.” And this; “When we have the instabilities in every field of our life, I feel ever blessed that I’m allowed to go in front of audience and offer this amazing (time) travel and experience for people that need it, using greatest music by legendary composers. And this is blessing of my life.”

Thanks for bringing him on! I watched several of his master classes and speeches on KZbin, and was especially impressed about the one regarding Beethoven's so-called "Moonlight" sonata. What he told the candidate there was a big help when I finally got my act together to learn it myself (at age 61; I am not a pianist but a [now retired] organist - piano is my secondary instrument).

😂 love it

Violin = Dopamine, once you've reached the certain point. It is too good that you sometimes have to avoid.

Very touching interview! What a brilliant artist and great, modest person! Thanks for sharing!

Love Maxim, every musician or music lover can learn a lot from his masterclasses. I hope we will get to see Simon Keenlyside on this series - I think he is very similar to Maxim in his approach to interpretation. Come to think of it...most great musicians are.

Thank you for this beautiful interview.

What a beautiful soul. And an infectious one. Thank you for sharing this with us.

🙏😍

Great interview..i remember how impressed I was with Amadeus in 1982! But the film being annoying kicked my critical faculties into play and I realised Schaffer was not interested in historical accuracy..brilliant playwright Equus Lettice and Lovage Amadeis the Royal hunt of the son, Yonadab. Shaffer also gets Mozart's attitude to death wrong as well as doing a hatchet job on Constanzas character and competence.

Wow, Zsolt, another life deepening interview….. I know the secret is not ice cream, but, how musicians finally, after years of discipline, fail to repress their trueness…. In their music, because it must come out; the joys of hearing this are huge. Thank you to both. So glad to see these interviews continue. They are life giving. ❤

Yeeeeeessssss!!!!

This is some of the best content on the platform right now. Thank you for your efforts!

3:53 That's literally Jacqueline du Pré smiling!

Wonderful young man living an exceptional life. Wish him nothing but happiness.

Not only a musical legend, but also a mesmerizing and insightful speaker.

Delighted that you have managed to interview BZ - one of the greatest living communicators of the joy, profundity and magic of music. His enthusiasm and passion for the queen of arts is absolutely infectious and hope he will continue to spread the message for many years to come!

Dame Jane has also has had a wonderful relationship with The Cleveland Orchestra. The best Mozart band in the land.

Vengerov, one of my top 3 favorite violinist. Thanks for sharing.

Legendary Maxim Vengerov🌟

Wind under the wings. What a teacher and what a student! Thank you once more.

Love the show! Incredible guests! Every view on this channel is one of those ripples :)

Thanks thanks a lot, just amazing and inspiring like always

Wonderful human being and dedicated musician - to say nothing of his playing! 🎹❤️

Enjoyable and interesting. Vengerov is not only a brilliant violinist, but a sensitive teacher as well. His experiences and knowledge are refreshing to listen to.
