This is a really lovely and quietly passionate interpretation. Thank you. So nice to hear a much different take on this very well known piece of repertoire. BRIAN

Maxim got his own style and he really sounds good. He compares music to the event and that's a good part of him.

Maxim's long phrases are exhilarating! Wonderful interpretation of this masterpiece!

What an excellent interpretation. Surely Maxim can feel what Beethoven used to think when he composed this adorable song..

[meenamara]

A beautiful piece of music which invokes memories of a lost love. But don't let that put you off Maxim. Take it away! You play this so beautifully that it brings tears to my eyes anyway.

[dudusisi]

wow, man full of muscle :)

[violinlsn]

i think that everyone has their own interpretation of the music. if you think it is not the way you are supposed to play it, why don't you try. and stop sitting around and criticizing people.

[bonjitomj]

Could you elaborate? I'm a violin student so am curious what you mean by the 'Horrible vibrato' and as a viewer... where is the show in this video? ty.

[carrottoponcrak]

not supposed to over vibrate with beethoven. Just like with mozart your not really supposed to make your trills super fast.

[theviolinplayer97]

@bonjitomj vibrato is when you slide your finger slightly up and down very quickly, horrible vibrato is when the player does it horribly

[Mnacuspia004]

well... im sorry, i dont like it.

Horrible vibrato... he was good with the show, not with the music..

[xdeviat]

it's to do with being beethoven. I had a masterclass on this once, and I had to vibrate like that..it sounds bad, but it's how it should be played...

[Dagonini]

Esta interpretacion si es ROMANTICA

[themusicdr]

this is one of my fav interpretations of this piece

[maxotti]

I'm EXTREMELY sorry he can't play anymore, now.

It's a DELICT!!!

[MusicBeautyLove]

He can't play anymore?

[violinmusicfan]

i think stopped playing as he wanted to do more conducting and I read from somewhere at one stage, he suffered from a shoulder injury, but im not too sure.

[themusicdr]

frozen shoulder - must be an absolute bugger for a man of his talent

[ilyanify]

@violinmusicfan

I spoke to him not too long ago, and his shoulder is fine, he just wants to do conducting :)

[Jedum]

@violinmusicfan that`s true :(

[maxotti]

Well... by the time yes... one year ago he had a worse accident with one arm... and is still in treatment, but hopes to come back playing soon.

[maxotti]

The best interpretation of Beethoven's "Romanze op.50 in F-Dur" I ever heard.

In my opinion, Maxim Vengerov has the most excellent instrumental technique (of all violinists) in the world (with Anne-Sophie Mutter).

Of course it depends from the conductor, too:

Slava Rostropovich is simply a musical EXEMPLE.
