A fascinating and meticulously planned program of music by Clara and Robert Schumann, Brahms and Prokofiev at Carnegie Hall. 

The joy of Maxim Vengerov and Simon Trpčeski playing together was as palpable in Franck's sonata as it was in Prokofiev's.

Maxim Vengerov and Simon Trpčeski put their consummate musicianship on show and give us Prokofiev and Franck to remember.

Vengerov joined by violinist Rafter and oboist Manning dish up three delightful concerti by Bach in the first half, while in the second half, Vengerov conducts a thoroughly convincing account of Dvořák’s Symphony no. 9

When did three such luminaries last grace the same concert, let alone the same first half?

Ilya Gringolts and Maxim Vengerov gave world-class performances of landmark pieces by Bach and Bartók, with a generous sprinkling of Prokofiev and Wieniawski giving extra sparkle.

Maxim Vengerov and Polina Osetinskaya’s marathon of Brahms sonatas showed off the composer at his most lyrical and dramatic.

The artistry of Maxim Vengerov is an uncommon phenomenon: it represents a rare amalgamation of repertoire spanning both traditional and modern, of musical interests firmly single-minded at times but broadly versatile elsewhere.

“Never look encouragingly at the brass,” was one of Richard Strauss’ conducting commandments. Yuri Temirkanov took this maxim to heart, barely looking at any members of his St Petersburg Philharmonic during an absorbing account of Shostakovich’sSymphony no. 10 in E minor.

Stately fun and stormy exoticism: Maxim Vengerov appears as soloist and conductor in a programme of Beethoven and Rimsky-Korsakov at the Barbican.

Maxim Vengerov began his residency with the Oxford Philomusica with a chamber recital accompanied by the orchestra's director Marios Papadopolous. This passionate concert was delivered with panache and a smile.

Maxim Vengerov and the Polish Chamber Orchestra's concert at Symphony Hall, Birmingham, turned out to be a concert of three halves, thanks to the substantial encores of Saint-Saëns.

The Recontres inédites series is what makes the Verbier Festival famous among aficionados. The title translates – roughly – as “Unprecedented Meetings”, and that is certainly what the concerts represent: world-class soloists brought together on minimal but far from non-existent rehearsal time to play chamber music.

Just a few weeks after the announcement that Oxford would be hosting the UK’s first major Stradivari exhibition this June, Maxim Vengerov gave a phenomenal performance on one of the Italian craftsman’s instruments. Performing on the ex-Kreutzer instrument made in 1727, Vengerov’s performance with the Oxford Philomusica was unforgettable.

Four years ago, Maxim Vengerov suffered a shoulder injury that temporarily incapacitated him as a performing violinist. After four years of recuperation and in his one-night-only appearance in Toronto, Mr Vengerov took on a dual identity – as a violin soloist in the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto and then as a violinist–conductor in Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade, with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra.

Ce qui fait de Vengerov l’un des violonistes les plus appréciés de sa génération, c’est la richesse de la palette sonore qu’il parvient à obtenir de son instrument. Retour sur son récital à la Philharmonie.

Ce concert de l'Orchestre de Paris est d'une grande inégalité, la qualité de la symphonie de Dvořák rattrapant in extremis les déboires du concerto de Sibelius.

Maxim Vengerov et Roustem Saïtkoulov ont proposé au public genevois un programme qui, tel un diamant exceptionnel, a été serti somptueusement, offrant un style adéquat à chaque pièce, rehaussant l’éclat du tout d’une musicalité impériale. Toute critique du détail, en reviendrait à perdre la vision d’un tout magistral.
