  • To be fair, of the 3 main contrasting moods (martial, lyrical and capricious) he delivered the lyrical best. But to be a great soloist you must be accomplished on all counts! The martial here is too languid and the capricious not cheeky enough. Maybe he needs a smaller viola, with perhaps a Tertis design to give him the edge over the "bulkiness" of a viola. A smaller viola would give him stronger access to those high positions, & iron out some shaky intonations especially with the 4th finger.

  • класс! НЕК рулит!! в России он не так известен конечно... но почитателем его я стал уже очень давно. я слушаю тяжеляк сам, но поклонникам настоящей музыки, прошу отписаться. я ведь не один...да??.. ведь!!??

  • He has all the bowings wrong and he makes the sound weird. I dont like this version.

    Its hard to find many good violists on youtube anymore. lol

  • I must agree with you here :)

    A lot of people bash Vengerov's Walton especially regarding the slow interpretation of the first movement... but honestly, after listening to several other recordings, Vengerov's stands triumphant :D

  • I imagine the viola is just too big for the guy, or he really can not play.But first a`d like to advice a smaller viola.

  • props to the orchestra though..... not the soloist

  • wtf...... i dont like this version at all.... no offense but like this is my favorite viola concerto of all times.... and i hear the music interpretation is all wrong... in the most beautiful parts were just cut offfff way tooo early!!!! tht bothered me the most!!!!!

  • My favourite version by far is the Nigel Kennedy version with andre previn. This version is excruciating. No dynamics, too much vibrato and often horribly out of tune.

  • this is embarassing...lol

    as much as i dont like it when violinists like

    vengerov play viola...his interpretation and

    technique is just to die for

  • I don't know what's wrong. He sounded fine.
