Sibelius's solitary concerto is one of the most passionate tests for the violin virtuoso, one to which Maxim Vengerov is more than equal. He captures the work's passion and its occasional quirky patches of the spookily s...  more »

Lots of violin from one member of the orchestra. The quality increases after they got past the violin that stole 3/4th of the show! Not too impressed. Spend your time elsewhere.

Brilliant!

"Vengerov is simply brilliant! The encores are quite some treat, too, esp. the Bach. As a natural benefit of a DVD, one can see a lot more in detail than in a live concert. Both the sound and image are excellent. Don't hesitate to buy it if you are a devotee of virtuosic violin playing."
Excellent

"I put this Vengerov Sibelius in the same class as Gould's Goldberg Variations (DVD): it is more than a performance, it is a study. I have now watched it a good 50 times, and nothing in the experience has become jaded or spoiled by this familiarity, In fact, if anything, my respect for it (the Concerto) and the performance has matured. The Bach & Ysaye encore is a bonus! As for the De Falla - is this not an odd coupling? Perhaps, a Sibelius symphony would have been more desirable (we must have continuity in our concert programs/DVDs, people). Regardless, buy this DVD - and live forever!"
Maxim Vengerov is great to watch!

"Vengerov is such a charismatic performer and I wish he would record on DVD every time he recorded, because he is so wonderful to watch. It's so great to see a musician become so deeply absorbed in the music, and to be able to express his love for the music in his face and his body without any inhibition. He brings so much beauty out of the Sibelius concerto, and his Ysaye encore is astonishing. The music of Manuel de Falla that follows is very lush and beautiful. The Chigago Symphony orchestra sounds great and Barrenboim's piano solos are done with a very nice latin florish."
