Maxim Vengerov plays Brahms Violin Concerto (2021)

[@kaihartmann924]

To me, Maxim has the best performance of Brahms, as well as Sibelius. Truly incredible violinist, but more than just technique, he brings a unique tone and musicality.

[@filigran-kunstateliera.hae1607]

I have been listening to Vengerov since I was young, for over 25 years... He is one of the greatest virtuosos in the world. Thank you for the excellent concert! It is a real pleasure.

[@PaperGrape]

For many years, i hear people say this or that violinist is the best in this current era. Ever since i watched my father's old vhs of the Israel Philharmonic 60th anniversary gala and was introduced to MV, i loved him. But it has been many years since it seemed obvious to me that he is the greatest violin virtuoso musician of this era. This recording shows it clearly.

[@jgassman]

Somewhere out there, there's a DVD of MV from '89 or '90 playing the Tschaikovsky concert with the Moscow Symphony. He's about 14 or so at the time, and he's excellent even back then. I claim the Politburo was in the audience so he was under a lot of pressure!! He's one of my all time faves because of his playing style.

[@danielabisenius9858]

This, may just be the most beautiful, outstanding performance of Brahms I have ever heard. Mr. Vengerov, I have no words. May God give you all that you deserve.

[@ТатьянаСтенина-к4х]

Прекрасное прочтение, глубокое страстное, чувственное., полное жизненной силы и задушевности. Божественное звучание! Враво М. Венгеров!.

[@chachaj5506]

It's very kind of you and Mr. Vengerov plays marvelously well... BUT when you say "May God give you all that you deserve", I jump! You can't claim anything from God. We are simply entitled to his Grace by the work of Christ on the cross (if we will earnestly seek it - if not, you do not benefit from it), not due to our good works, which will always be insufficient in the face of our sin. Probably Brahms, as a true christian he was, woud be agree with me...

[@markxl]

I agree but remember he is standing on the shoulders of giants.

[@MrInterestingthings]

WOW!Noone has the courage to play it this way . He canstretch a tempo no matter what today's purist say. Vengerov has researched the period!He knows even some of the earliest records don't take these liberties but this is really the expanseBrahms deserves!Mr.V really gets Brahms.Must hear him n the 3 sonatas!I'm mesmerized by the music in a way the light is there but the weight and austerity we always associate w Brahms in there to. Many say Brahms is not turgid and should be faster. Not Klemperer!So many qualities here I hope to keep finding.

[@michael_koski]

Only 7 minutes in, and already loving it! He knows how to build up the tension, gradually but most certainly, playing for the long run, keeping us in suspense. Mr. Vengerov, I applaud you and thank you for sharing this. God bless! ~ Ana

I feel like I have been waiting my whole life to hear Maxim Vengerov to finally play the Brahms Violin Concerto like this. It has been worth the wait, because this is everything I hoped he might finally achieve, but then again so much more than I could have imagined. The long first movement is so iconic as always, but with this cadenza that Maxim plays, it really is a thing of great majesty and off-the-scale beauty to experience. I love the approach to the slow movement, faster than I would expect but so full of passion, it works so well with the orchestra. And the last movement...well it now feels as if it was written for Vengerov himself! Thank you for the many years you have continued playing. Our lives are so much richer for having you articulating what it is to be alive through playing the violin. Forever bravo to Mr. V.

[@andreguillaud1971]

Merci monsieur Vengerov pour génie et votre si belle interprétation du concerto de Brahms. Je n avais jamais entendu quelquechose d aussi beau depuis monsieur Isaac Perlman. C est magnifique ❤

[@artedeusensamble6576]

the interpretation I grew up with and fell in love with the violin was Oistrakh, now I'm still in love with Maxim's interpretation

[@jacc88888]

His style and manner reminded me a bit of Oistrakh in this - the robustness and power coupled with the gorgeous tone and beautiful phrasing.

[@gimletrose1985]

Same same!! Two of my favorites!

[@micaelabonetti949]

Goosebumps already at the breath preceeding the first violin notes... Splendido Maxim! ❤️ 🙏

This man is a rock, no a mountain....indestructible.👏👏👏 He plays violon like a rock star !!!!

[@muchammadsuryomaulanaakbar4964]

I always love Vengerov's Brahms. Just so precise at how he plays not only as a soloist but also as a part of the orchestra. Blended so well making it so beautiful to listen.

[@irisce2799]

Dear Maxim, I myself am shocked to say this, but it is apparent that you are getting even greater at the violin! This is a perfect performance of the Brahms Violin Concerto! I enjoyed it so immensely. Thank you warmly for your gift to us

The way Maestro Gabor was so focused and inside the music during the cadenza gave me goosebumps.

[@inand08]

I very, very rarely post comments, however I was truly moved by this performance! The original cadenzas are excellent! Bravo!

[@danielabisenius9858]

Can it get anymore perfect than this? Yes, maybe. But more beautiful??? No. I don’t think so. You can hear the GPS going on in his brain- he knows exactly how, where, and when every note should be played. Then he allows them to play their roll in this fairytale performance. High praises to the orchestra, just outstanding, and last but not least to this fantastic conductor, who truly, truly understood Vengerov’s approach to Brahms.

[@RobertHershkowitz]

Great playing, great instrument , great orchestra, and conductor .thanks enormously for everything and everybody who brought it here

[@davegallo8790]

From Australia. I used to have a favourite recording of the Brahms, by David Oistrakh, and I never imagined that it would be surpassed, but you did it Mr. Vengerov!!! A truly AMAZING performance with passion and exhilirating technique, especially the first movement and the first movement cadenza! U-N-B-E-L-I-E-V-A-B-L-E!!! Also, much love and congratulations to Mr. Takacs-Nagy and the MAV Symphony Orchestra! Mr. Takacs-Nagy is such an underrated conductor!!!

[@januszwawer7785]

Moim zdaniem jednak Oistrakh pozostaje niepobity.

[@gimletrose1985]

​@@januszwawer7785Agreed. Maxim is though very close second in my book! ❤

[@tomasznowak7983]

GENIUS!!!! I've heard many good violinist but he is absolutely exceptional. His technic is perfect. In my opinion the best intonation on the world. But musical expression- no words to describe it. I've heard his recital in big hall - piano and violin only. I cannot forget it till now. His cooperation with conductor is also fantastic. Great!

[@simong.4224]

What a masterful cadenza! Personal, authentic and meaningful, as always. Thank you Maestro Vengerov!

Indeed and very imaginative, too. I heard reminders of Glazunov and Ysaye, not to mention a little Bach at 20:27.

I personally place Maxim right up there with Heifetz as the greatest violinist of the last Century! And he likely is for the next century as well. I haven't heard anyone even close to this standard.

[@kathyknuteson2838]

Completely agree. Never thought i would ever say that about another violinist!

[@StevenLeeman-mb5ib]

David Oistrakh must be included in any list of the ‘great violinists.’

I prefer Oisteakh and Maxim better than Heifetz any day, to be honest with you!

Magical score meets with the magician accompanied by a great orchestra conducted by the right conductor, mesmerizing. Brava to you all.

I have listened to as many pieces played by Maxim Vengerov as I can and am always treated to interpretations that are fresh and well, gorgeous. This is no exception. And Takacs-Nagy is a tremendous conductor. I do not like conducting with baton so I enjoy watching him work. He treats the orchestra like they are voices and do they ever sing. Love it all!

[@jacc88888]

Didn’t he take quite a lot of time off playing due to injuries? Yet here is a performance of such power and beauty - both technically immense and above all musically - that it seems he has almost benefited and matured from these trials and with age. This was arguably even more emotionally engaging and moving than the player of old. Incredible!

Powerful fervor and tenderness, the signature of Mr. Vengerov. Here is an exquisite example of his creative and interpretive genius, with this bold and sparkling rendition, delivered with an amazing strength, “joie de vivre”, and dazzling virtuosity. Equally splendid is this synchronous performance by the MAV and its vivacious maestro Gabor Takacs-Nagy.

Ваше исполнение, Максим, дорогого стоит. Невозможно дышать, пока играете. Настолько захватывает Ваш изумительный звук, Ваши особые яркие оттенки, и Ваша особая интерпретация ( никогда такой не слышала). Каденция стоит особых похвал. Но, что больше всего поражает, так это отсутствие агрессивных оттенков, которые часто используют скрипачи, чтобы показать контраст к лирическим темам. Вы потрясающий лирик , для которого отсутствуют трудности технические, которыми полон концерт. Дай Вам Б-г здоровья и всегда быть в такой первоклассной форме. Отдельно хочу отметить великолепного дирижёра Gábor Takács-Nagy и Будапештский симфонический оркестр. Дирижёр и оркестр буквально дышат в унисон с солистом. Я никогда не видела такой слаженности, такой музыкальности со стороны оркестрантов, которые вероятно играли это в 50-й раз. А в III ч., где есть такие элементы, характерные для венгерской музыки, которую так любил Брамс, они буквально музыкально бросаются в пляс. А как тонко они аккомпанируют самым лирическим эпизодам... Я никогда Вас не слышала в концерте, к сожалению. Но очень хочу поехать на Ваш концерт в октябре в Вустере, Массачусеттс. Счастливых гастролей Вам в США.
