He plays a Strad. What must be remembered is that it doesn't necessarily mean that it's easier to play. On the contrary, trying to get a good sound out of an old violin is very hard, even though the results are breathtaking in the right hands. This is one of the greatest human accomplishments of all time.
That's precisely the reason why I made this video. Hahn is a great violinist, and I do enjoy her interpretation of this piece, but there's just something really special about Vengerov's hyper-expressive, almost chaotic (in a good way) interpretation.

Oh my....
did Ysaye not know how many arms/fingers/bows/strings a standard violinist/violin has? Maybe he was mistaken and thought he was composing for piano
Glad to see the sheet music over vengerov's performance, someone else added the notes over hillary hahn's performance and it's just not the same

@benana_3 yes! I think vengerov plays this piece better than hahn, although only slightly since Hahn is extremely talented in her own right
What a piece !
Ty for this i was wondering how the score looked like
It really is a great piece. Thanks for watching!
Me too, i was thinking it was easy to sightread on the piano but turns out that it is impossible :(
Lol, I hope the is answers your question-the score looks
Like pain
