Performer: Maxim Vengerov

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.
