Maxim Vengerov - The Last Rose of Summer (H. W. Ernst)

[@dunterriker3301]

I don’t know why people dislike this recording. It’s faster than other famous recordings but venegrov creates so many colors in his sound, it’s really, really good. The sound quality I think perfectly fits the mood of the piece, the crackles and the constant buzz in the background gives it such a sweet, nostalgic feeling. It’s my favorite recording on KZbin

[@the_bottomfragger]

In my experience the last one they showed (arpeggios with pizz in second to last variation) is the hardest passage tied with the some of the artificial harmonic double stops in the last one. There's literally only 2 bars to "relax" in the entire piece though.

Let's all be respectful and not call each other fools. You doing so makes you no better than anyone else that you criticize of. It is true that some people may prefer different interpretations, and if one has a well trained ear, listening to more subtle emotions that is not conveyed in just plain movements alone go a long way.

To all the people criticizing him. He is technical as perfect as nobody else. Just watch his Sibelius Vilinconcerto. He plays it without any wrong note(maybe a few that are not 100% in tune) and with so many different colours and emotions, and with perfect technic. After that the ysaye Sonata Nr. 3. again with perfect tune and technic. At the same time so dramatic. In my opinion his Sonata has to played exacly like he does. Back to this piece. He Interpretation is so Gold. I mean compare his ending with Hilary's ending or look at the move he does while playing the left hand Finger pizz.- part...

Harmonicos y pizzicatos a la vez! Oh, DIOS MIO! QUE TERROR! Siempre he considerado que esta pieza es la obra mas difícil de la historia del violín pasando por encima a los caprichos de Paganini, las sonatas y partitas de Dios Bach y las sonatas de Ysaye y Bartok. Una pieza entre deliciosa y encantadora para nuestros oídos, no se que tan infernal para un violinista, en lo personal me atreví a interpretar las anteriores, pero cuando vi la partitura de esta obra, me dio miedo y no me he atrevido a ni ensayarlo.
