Bruch: Vengerov - Masur - Violin Concerto part 1

[dziady1]

He is surprisingly good with this work - It is Masur who is second rate overstated dynamics .

[napper6162]

Vengerov has such an amazingly smooth, controlled and expressive sound. This has to be one of just a handful of truly moving performances of this concerto. I just wish Masur would have fastened the tempo in some of the "crucial" moments. This performance, along with Cho-liang Lin's, are two of the closest to my preferences in tempo and phrasing.

divine

[nnmrllk]

perhaps the best version, even if i love as well a few others. the playing is strong and passionate and tender. not a soap opera!

[AveryViper]

Gorgeous, of course, but I wish I could see him playing to maybe pick up some pointers on what exactly he's doing to sound like that with this piece.

[keyfeatures]

just wow.

[iLOVEmusicAH]

[joryu39]

[cnewtonc]

Perlman is the best. End of Story!

[ejroad]

@cnewtonc

I'd like to see perlman playing shostakovich the way vengerov plays it...

[marcelo78344]

stradivarius= vangerov . no vangerov , stradivarius is nothing . the best violinist of the history

[The153Fish]

This is the best of Max Bruch....to me. And Maxim Vengerov is the best violinist in the world!!

[hajdul]

Vengerov plays on the 1727 "Le Reynier" Stradivarius kindly loaned by LVMH/Moet Henessy. Louis Vuitton.

[larryrael]

@hajdul Maybe at the time of the recording, but he stopped playing that violin ages ago, and now plays the "Ex-Kreutzer", which I think he owns...

[Guitaril]

Thank you for posting, Vengerov's playing is a joy to the ears.
