[provio18]

o wow im playing this rite now and i suck compared to vengerov but thn again hes a professsional

[iampeeay01]

very nice rendition, very soulful.

[acoreeee]

Przepiękne ...

[alfabetab]

The best!!!!!!

[maccao1956]

He is great.

[fernandezalexis2400]

i listen to this when i'm depressed, so i can think more positively.

but now i listen to it to savour its beauty and elegance

[magnify322]

Meditation is in my violin exam

the notes are easy but the musicality is DIFFICULT!

[provio18]

@magnify322 ya ik i totally understand...

[univocalic]

There are competent musicians, good ones, great ones and geniuses. Maxim Vengerov, like Heifetz before him, falls into the latter category.

[salimaum]

beautifuull

[00chebbie00]

It made me cry the first time.

[provio18]

@00chebbie00 ik me 2!!

[amazingdraw]

love it!

[xxViolinrocksxx]

If I said this was "beautiful" that would be insulting. Wow. I can't even express my feelings in words.

[cloudy0399]

I had hard time to hold my tears when I first watch this in my music class. Now I can shed tears as much as I want! thank you for uploading! Too beautiful.

[viola128]

the best !!!!!!

[tiptoesintherain]

Really one of the best versions of "Meditation" that I've ever heard. Wow.

[ametyst006]

Przepięknie zagrane.Utwór jest wyjątkowo subtelny,piękny.Trzeba mieć ogromną wrażliwość i świetną technikę ,żeby tak zagrać.Dziękuję.

[StopTheMoti0n]

great music video haha

[sukardihenry]

one of the best versions I ever heard...

[natzjustlookinaround]

wow...the best performance i've heard! <3

[246trinitrotoluene]

love this song, and love how he plays it

im just very reluctant to use gut strings because theyre so unreliable and expensive

[22adonis222]

maxim is "lo maximo"...

[cortesepiloto]

The Best Ever...

[valizadintren]

thank you for sharing this splendid vision of vengerov

[themusicdr]

vengerov on top form. beautiful and moving rendition of thais

[puffo3500]

Che profondità, che suono, che meravigliosa poesia!

Bravo, Maxim.

[clasicgypsy]

Obviously Vengerov is a very good violinist.

But always the music is a challenge...

That's the reason we still listen to him!!!

To bad that  there is a movie. Always we are influence by the visual! ( good or bad )

So we should close our eyes...and listen to his sound not to the melody. If we judge him vs. the titans of the violin playing then I have to say that in piano his vibrato is not intense enough...! But BRAVO for his sincerity of feelings!

[lilolokitha]

isaac si sirve jaja el paso el link en su metro

[fabricio1006]

he´s the 1°!!!!!!!!! fantastic.

[chekin877]

isaac no sirves deja de intentarlo xD ok algo aburrida

[slesondak]

¿qué estás hablando? Aburrido? bello

[legopiano]

flawless~

[OlimpioBarreto]

Esplêndida execução !!! Maxim Vengerov é excepcional.

[annpham]

Maxim has always been a perfection.

[gxtthebest]

poseuresque,

I wonder what you are doing here making ridiculous comments....'degenerate, decadent artistry' ...are you from the Taliban culture critizing our western culture...you should smell the roses sometime..

[themusicdr]

ur comment speaks vol about ur narrow minded and xenophobic ideas, regardless of poseuresque's comment (to whihc he is entirely entitled) which IMO is nonsense ur reply belies a much more closed and narrow attitude. u presume he subscribes to a certain viewpoint whilst knowing nothing about him moreover there is NO such thing as "taliban culture" there is afghan culture but why would you be aware of such distictions. even ur log in name speaks of ur arrogance gxthe WORST.

[themusicdr]

gxtthebest as far as vengrov - yes i agree one of the foremost soloists of modern times - i love him. as for defeding that guys comment, i was merely standing up for his right to assert his views as he see them, i do not subscribe to his notion of this rendition of thais, however i also do not believe that one can assume simply from his comment that he supports or espouses nazi views. morover there IS much that is decadent about our culture many intellectuals have argued this point v cogently

[PhilipLu3]

I doubt he is nazi or taliban...

I don't agree with his comment, but you shouldn't post libel.

[poseuresque]

ok, this ranks shit-wise alongside yanni, andrea bocelli, velvet paintings, muzack, most andrew lloyd webber, etc etc. degenerate, decadent artistry... when for pathos we substitute mass appeal...no deal....no deal. horrible, tasteless, reminds me of that hillary hahn video when she's laying in the grass. i've cried watching this...in defense of how helpless language is to describe how sublimely bad this viewing experience was. worst...movie...ever

[carrottoponcrak]

wtf movie were you watching son?

[thaisfmm]

someone did this music thinking on me.. rsrs

I'm kiding..

but the music, so BEAUTIFUL!!!

and he play the violiln so good, with heart..

[whateverwhouare]

soooo pretty

[bardtoob]

Wonderful play . . . horrid video.

[maturanesa2]

the music is excellent, the video is horrible, and why always classical music must be involved with rich people? is such a very classist subworld

[gilsonbsantos]

how come these videos aren't up on MTV????

[zavaro3]

I'm almost crying... :')

Beautiful...

[a1rb0rne101]

ha the old guy is trying out the old version of limewire:)

[sam3feb]

not as perfect as nathan milstein! but it is perfect :D

[themightymouth]

This interpretation by Vengerov is not great, sounds tonally quite dull. Nathan Milsteins version is far superior to this offering!

[ilviolinista]

Que hermoso video!!!!!!!

[zeagle79]

I wanted to slow it down some--but I am, Meister, legatomeister... Absolutely beautiful--I listen to it roueinely.

[fishpig20]

the vid creeps me out, playin is gorgeous

[Pabuju]

this is the way i always wanted to play the meditation. i try to reach this perfection.

[dlfunky]

yes I palyed this fr my grade 7 but very badly lol! maxim is def the best of his generation.

[jabberwock01]

Played with very great skill and slavonic deep feeling. Too much for a light piece like this perhaps, Didn't like video or lack of orchestral colour.

[cattleman6420012000]

Fabulous!

[eyoman]

wow that was so beautiful

[homousios]

Beautiful playing. The images detract a bit from the beauty of this.

[roliboom]

The music is absolutely gorgeous! I'm not too crazy about the video though..

[Sauvageetbeau]

De l'écouter, je ne me lasse pas ! Sensualité, émotion, douceur....une oeuvre qui a une âme ! merci

[Sandrito702]

check out Michael Rabin's meditation its also amAZING

[tclover88]

he's awesome! I really love this song and I heard people played this piece but it never send the chills like what I've got here when I hear Vengerov play. Definitely the best version of Meditation that I have ever heard!!

[DevilViolinist]

I love Vengerov's expression when he plays!!! Bravo Maxim!

[portugalgir000]

i love this song... and vengerov kicks ass.

[helouz]

from which film is it??

[tarantel2072]

Definitely Vengerov is one of the best of the younger violinists today. Unfortunately the sound and vision of the clip do not sync too well. His CDs are with TELDEC and EMI

[XueRen1077]

That's one violin playing son of a bitch!

[bratanovich]

dont use dat expression its rude

[nagelibre]

c'est un tres joli morceau !! waw j'adore

[dfxlr]

this is the first time I've really completely enjoyed his playing. the video, however...awkward

[happpiday]

what are they DOING? Is it a movie???

[xXLeafXNinjaXx]

music video

[ximenovaldes]

Soo Beautiful

[tiradojj]

absolutly wonderful

[joselamartine]

Maxim Vengerov is the BEST! The "experts comments" are only personals opinios from people that have a lots to learn still.

[olp2984]

lol vengrov is always awesome he just has alot of feeling....he never sounds like hes adding too much to me

[DevilViolinist]

Wow,that's a ... different violin.

[xXLeafXNinjaXx]

why does his violin not have corners?!?

[FoggyRoad81]

Um, something is wrong here. He's playing this music gorgeously. He's not adding those awful Vengerov sounds. He's not beating his violin up like it stole something. I can't get over how gorgeous it all sounds. Wonderful! I am shocked.

[gnatural]

your right foggyroad81, i am surprised also that hes not moving around soo much.

[thno3]

Thanks!
