    The tone of this violin is fucking incredible. And it borders on miraculous that the strings (regardless of brand) can stay virtually completely in tune after such intense punishment under fingers and bow hair. Wow. And I am myself a violinist, and restorer of violin family instruments. This phenomenon never ceases to astound me.

  • @hub5343
    @hub5343 ปีที่แล้ว +108

    Ok violinist here - I can honestly say this is complete mastery on the verge of perfection. His complete knowledge, not just of the piece but of his violin, is something that can only come from a lifetime of constant dedication.
    The last movement demonstrates the level of command he has on his bow, knowing it so well I almost thought he would hit the nut, or its point, using full length to the millimetre.
    The second movement shows his command of dynamics, and those repeated single upbow runs played so softly are controlled to a degree that although on the edge of perception it does not seem to be too soft, every time he plays that phrase it is identical.
    But the first movement: How divine. Those octave shifts he does at the high register are perfectly in tune and shaped so well, that you forget your listening to a perfect piece and you are transported to another realm. That to me is a true testament of a great performance - the inescapable transcendence of all of us to a higher plane, something that combines the technical mastery with nothing short of magic.

    Vengerov is truly amazing, but he has been since he was 7 years old. This guy was playing the most difficult music you can imagine as a kid. Now he can sleep-play through it. He was out for while from a back injury, so I don't know how he plays now. But I saw him in Miami playing an entire hour and a half solo 15 years ago. Completely solo. No piano, nothing. I could not breath for the entire concert. Breath-taking. Then to find out he was playing all of that treacherous music when he was 12 years old. Sick!

    What is amazing about Vengerov is his confidence. He is in full control of this magnificent piece. The music comes from inside him. Although obviously he has not written the piece yet one feels it is part of him, it comes from his soul. You can not expect more from a performer.
    Comparing his playing to that of Chang or others does not make sense. Each of them has his (her) own ideas of interpreting this piece. I am lucky I can enjoy all of them.

    Sibelius makes me not only happy but a better human being as well. God bless him endlessly. Thanks to Mr. Vengerov, Mr. Barenboim and the CSO for the subtle performance: you can ear everything on a clear and delicate atmosphere full of energy with exact passion. It is inspiring from a holistic perspective, from the very beginning to the end, just like it was come up with in the Sibelius brain, heart and soul, beside his green hearth. I am glad we can enjoy such finest musicians the former one making music and the others performing it now. Finland can be proud of all of it. I wish its people the best. Thanks to AgoraVoxFrance for sharing music without borders. Kiitos.

    It truly takes a genius to play another genius' masterpiece.

    I have watched Vengerov numerous times but never the Sibelius. He kind of fell off my radar years ago. I must say: this is close to one of the most astounding performances of the piece I have ever heard, and I've been listening to it for over 50 years. Standing ovation for Max Vengerov. (2011 concert, long time ago, I know, but it doesn't matter).

    I'm used to Hilary Hahn's version and it's very good, but this performance is out of this world

      Hahn is great. But Vengerov is exceptional.
