Every Note.

This week I’ve been watching a documentary highlighting masterclasses with Maxim Vengerov on Youtube.  All I can say is, wow.

It hard to imagine how much work, dedicated, and passion has been incorporated in his playing.  But what’s even more impressive is the way he can feel the exact mood each of these pieces is trying to convey and pass it on through the violin.  I think the way he can ascribe a perfect scene to describe all these pieces played by these amazing students is a result of his incredible grasp of the music.  With the Tchaikovsky and Kreisler pieces in particular, he’s revealed to me so much more of what the music can bring out.

This guy’s playing is simply astonishing.  I hope he will return to playing in the future.
