The pinnacle golden standard for this whirlwind force of a concerto! Perfection does not exist in reality but this version to me is near godly perfection!
I have always found Sibelius' music inadequately performed in the concert hall. His symphonies and tone poems speaks of a profundity and clarity than many composers of his time, a contrast exemplified by the often lengthy excessiveness of Mahler's symphonies, and his music has a distinctively Finnish timbre to it. This is a great performance by Vengerov and Barenboim. One must also listen to Sibelius' second and fifth symphonies.
Obile Wong I agree. This is a great performance. I love this violin concerto. Sibelius' 2nd and 5th symphonies are fantastic...but there's more... the strings in final movement in his 1st, the brooding 4th symphony, mysterious 6th, classical and difficult 3rd and the very special 7th... Not to mention, as I feel it anyway, his "goodbye" in Tapiola... I've always been such a fan of the great man's work.
Только посмотришь на Максима Венгерова и тут же хочется поставить like. А когда он извлекает первый звук на меня находит нечто (вдохновение) и я извергаю похвальные слова. Вы Максим один из лучших представителей мирового музицирования. И я горжусь, что являюсь Вашим соотечественником и современником. Вы рождены для славы и музыкальной услады нас грешных.
All phrases in the 1st mvmt 0:32 - the opening 2:08 - intensifying part 2:38 - quick & elegant part 3:09 - beautiful octaves 4:184:28 - bright part 5:37 - epic part 7:35 - cadenza start 9:25 - cadenza ending 10:19 - similar to 3:09 but different notes 10:32 - darker part 11:44 - explosive part 13:2413:35 - brightest part 15:00 - most epic part. 13:35, 23:09 & 30:35 are my favourite parts
I personally find around 19:47 to be my favorite passage. Hard to pick and choose since there are so many good ones but the poco crescendo being used is marvelous. Its expressed in a way that makes it highly remarkable for me.

Fantastic Music..fantastic Soloist..Vengarov is very strong and admirably exciting ...finally not the etude sounding performances from H.Hahn and Co.... Really solid conducting from Barenboim..
Sometimes I feel like Maxim Vengerov can be too free spirited and is prone to going off the rails a bit more than many other soloists but, I love that about him because I feel like he's trying to catch lightning in a bottle a near impossible task and you are almost destined to fail but, now and again.... with this Sibelius Concerto I really think he did exactly that. Caught lightning in a bottle. chills down my spine from the first few notes. He may not always HIT. but when he does, look out. you will have absurd goosebumps and feel like you just had a once in 10 life time's experience. He just needs that one absolute firework to make every other unhinged moment worth it and boy does he bring the firework here. anyways, that's just my opinion. sorry if it's a bit strong.
I feel there's a huge difference when he's passionate about a piece, and the moment is right, something truly magical happens. You can see how he looses himself in the music, but even without the visual, it's so captivating. I saw him last year, and I had a good time, the whole first half I spent marveling at his incredible tone, and he's a great entertainer as well, but I could tell his heart was much less in it. In fact, maybe that's what allowed him to interact more with the audience. Here, there seems to be no vanity, no thought of the audience, not even much awareness of himself maybe except for what he's doing to produce the music. There was a glimpse of that magic last year when he played Vocalise as his last encore, and truly that was worth more to me than the whole program he did before.
Максим Венгеров, Даниэль Баренбойм и оркестр играют концерт Сибелиуса, как будто находятся на небесах перед Господом Богом. И Он очень доволен их музыкальным совершенством.
Strabiliante anche se totalmente diverso dai concerti di Sibelius di altri suoi illustri colleghi. Per il mio gusto troppo romantico, persino più di Tchaikovsky.
The violinist is undoubtably in love with himself, and truly so - what a terrific capability - but whether he is in love with the music he is playing is to be questioned. How different from Heifetz!
Oh really? Undoubtedly? What makes you so sure? Most instrumentalists of any level of fame don't think highly of themselves. Stop speculating. You have zero evidence. Vengarov seems opposite of what you claim. I see no sign of a big ego. He's an utter master and plays spectacularly and always has. He may move around a little more than most, but hardly. This man honors the COMPOSER. Not himself.
@@organboino need to take serious what that person says. I think he just copy and pastes his comment wherever he finds a great performance, to get attention or somethinf ;/ I just tell you Arielpaul, maybe do it somewhere else, and not in the comments of the world's best soloist 😅😅
@ly2867, probably assuming that because he has something of a dramatic flair to his play style that he's egotistical - they may feel that it draws more attention to him rather than his sound. Very silly, nonetheless but that's my guess.
This is my favorite performance of Sibelius of all time
If there is an objectively best one, it is this one.

It's such a one of a kind musical piece, every section of that has meaning, no filler.
I'd say that 4:28 is epic but yea it's also the bright part 👍
What a brilliant crowd, resisting the urge to applaud in between movements.
Cologne is in Germany and we know how to handle serious music ;-)
@@Altonahh10 What a nice place to live. By the way I'm a massive fan of your football team!
or even coughing as if they are in competition with each other! The CD also had brilliant sound!

One of the best performances!
Brilliant soloist for this composition.

Is this the original version or the modified one?
As difficult as it appears to be it's probably the original.

... ¡¡¡ TLAZOKAMATI !!! ...
Финал очень жестокий романс от 40 летнего достопочтенного маэстро Сибелиуса а какой повод замысла? Может картина"крик" иллюстрация
just too much for me
휴..숨막혀
At 2x speed it sounds like dramatic music in a cartoon 😊😂
Pulling a silly face is optional whilst playing. Hope the audience can cough in D Minor during the quiet bits.
The violinist is undoubtably in love with himself, and truly so - what a terrific capability - but whether he is in love with the music he is playing is to be questioned. How different from Heifetz!

You really have no idea what it is to be a violinist of this calibre.
Horrible music....not pleasant in the slightest.
in your opinion, of course - music like life is not always sweet.
does it make your day better by being so negative
okay vegan flat earth.
