Young Maxim with eagerness in 93, then middle Maxim at the peak of his career, and now Master Maxim with master performance. Even the lightest sound matters!

[@ioana938]

I would argue the peak of his career is now... Much more nuanced interpretations, nothing he actually needs to prove, and a huge following of listeners and students alike... But absolutely agree -- so much fun to see his evolution...

[@PS-kd1if]

He didn’t do this in his early performance either (like in the one with St. Petersburg Philharmonic when he was 19). His play has been perfected as he matures.

[@rafanifischer3152]

@Anders Ridge You mean ex-girlfriend.

[@rockhard2654]

no that was actually shit

[@liamnevilleviolist1809]

I feel like that was Vengerov's choice.... because they don't play any notes soon after. He could've waited 4 seconds or whatever and they just all had to follow him. But I get what you mean. I like that brief suspense! Really adds to the romantic drama that Tchaikovsky was all about !

[@fingerhorn4]

He seems to have permanently changed now to more wrist vibrato except for high positions and the little finger. I like the sound. But I wonder why he has changed? Age? More flexibility? Enables faster vibrato? When he was younger (see the now well known Sibelius on KZbin) he was nearly always using arm vibrato throughout. There are very few players who can use both effortlessly but he is one. As usual, a stunning performance.

[@gagamin2]

His basic vibrato was always wrist.

[@dylansun9473]

@@gagamin2 agreed

[@augustbakenhus3288]

Wrist when younger - each has it’s appeal

[@musictemporis]

Man kann auch einen Ton von Handgelenksvibrato auf Armvibrato wechsln, z. B. den ersten Ton das Fis `` von der Meditation von Massennet . Ich bringe den Ton meinen Schülern immer so bei.

[@m.barria-violin4029]

The greatest soloists dont use arm vibrato. But Finger Impulse vibrato wich its better and so more impressive.

[@Sonic22258]

Yes, but have you watched his left head?

[@liamnevilleviolist1809]

@@Sonic22258 heh, this dialogue could go back and forth infinitum. But yes, his left hand has changed technique ever so slightly over the years since his shoulder dislocation and he's making violin-life easier on himself (and teaches that to students so they can avoid injury - great pedagogy from master Vengerov!) His right hand and whole arm is something he has adjusted quite drastically. He relaxes his shoulder me and moves around his shoe torso much less! He talks about the importance of wrist flexibility and certain fingers having their individual roles in holding and manipulating the bow to get the desired sound.I learned from him to keep my right forearm down which you'll be able to see in my videos on my channel, particularly the Bach gigue I play. Many months before that I had quite a high arm, almost Menuhin-like which is NOT a good thing as it caused him damage so much so that he had days where he did not even pick up the violin at all....

[@liamnevilleviolist1809]

He has a very "urgent" fourth finger that stabs the desired note with instant intonation! We can all be jealous of that! It's harder for us violists to achieve. We strive to do the same thing but place out third finger behind the fourth for stability (if the passage does allow for that, but if we quickly have to use the third finger soon after the fourth then that is quite different as you may know [if you're a violinist/violist/cellist yourself :) ].

[@vladimirrasputin7380]

Bei dieser Aufnahme aus dem Jahr 2014 erlebt man einen ebenso besinnlich wie stringent spielenden Solisten, der wieder eine Gipfelleistung brillant präsentiert, in der Charakteristik an David Oistrach erinnernd. Nebenbei: Unter den Streichern habe ich den Geiger Carmine Lauri entdeckt, der bei einer Aufnahme der „Missa Solemnis“ von Beethoven eindrucksvoll auch den Solopart spielt. Diese Einspielung mit dem „Malta Philharmonic Orchestra“ ist eine ebenso erstaunliche wie hinreißende Entdeckung, eine wahre Perle als Schmuckstück, das leider bisher viel zu wenig Beachtung gefunden hat.

Всё же прав был пианист Воскресенский, что прозвучавшее в 1983 г. исполнение Виктором ТРЕТЬЯКОВЫМ концерта Чайковского можно считать выдающимся и эталонным на мой взгляд - сколько бы ни было позднее новых трактовок и исполнителей, они в массе своей демонстрируют себя прежде всего, а не русскую музыку композитора. И Венгеров среди последних вполне в этом ряду по сути своей исполнительской манеры...

[@nickyork8901]

The orchestra is quite good, but obviously not on the same level as his magnificent performance (who would be!), and they (or the conductor) tend to drag which is distracting. Despite this it is quite compelling to watch simply because Vengerov lives inside this piece.

13:55 -> 14:14 Miraculeux:

[@patrickjack2943]

I am intensely curious as to what violin he is playing. The bottom end, especially the G string, it's very powerful, very loud. The E string is very charismatic and allows for a wide range of dynamics while maintaining projection. The A string is the most civilized and perfect for the piece holding up well in all the giant chords stroked on the instrument during the piece. The instrument projects powerfully although its harmonic series seems easy to overdrive. The G string nearly sounds like a bright viola.

[@christianvachon2235]

He plays a late Strad, the 1727 Kreutzer Strad.

[@user-ly9lx8mu7q]

Венгеров пытается дать свою трактовку. Но что в ней такого убедительного и примечательного - кроме замедленного темпа? Не заметил...всем же понятно - темп часто является определяющим для солиста и здесь ничего нового я тоже не обнаружил. Инструмент превосходный. Что дальше? Не надо из этого делать событие. Самое рядовое и добротное исполнение. Не более того. Выдающимися становятся события - когда зал плачет от потрясения, как в случае с концертом Шостаковича, который исполнил в 50-х годах Ойстрах. А здесь слышу только такое густое и плотное звукоизвлечение - как маслом на хлеб. Такая скрипичная подёнщина с элементами театрализации. Потому, рано записывать Венгерова в "короли скрипок" - это всё так временно и зыбко...такое уже проходили. Кто сейчас слушает Хейфеца? - этого маниакального робота.
