I've been practicing bach chaconne for a while. It's a hard piece and I need to practice more. Meanwhile my teacher made me start ysaye sonata 2 for a competition, its kinda stressful lol
A real collection of wrong accents. ONE example: 35:18. He makes horrible accents at the last of the six notes. FOR NO REASON AT ALL. Just he makes a very big accent at the end of every group. Violinists are a bit like tenors.
Breath taking solo! I am sure mr Bruch would be also excited to hear it played like that! I played this piece with orchestra and it is quite enjoyable for us too. The videonis also very nicely done
As from ~ Original 1 of 7 artist pupil's of Jascha Heifetz, and later, privately for 3.5 years in London, by Invitation of Nathan Milstein ~ I disagree with your first statement which is discouraging for many who so love the Love the Sonata you're sharing for pupil's to hopefully be inspired by ... The Bow, dear Maxim Vengerov, Is Enabled by a Master of The Bow, aka, Nathan Milstein, to crescendo when brushing the Bow Up even despite lightness nearing Tip and obviously crescendo when brushing back down to the heavier Frog. I learned volumes from Nathan Milstein as his self-proclaimed, Quote: "My first Guinea Pig Heifetz pupil with whom I can now violinistically experiment!" Chester Square, London SW1, Circa April 1969, (before I think you were born!) Milstein's Command of The Bow due many reasons but certainly his born with DNA physique and immense knowledge & aided by his depths of Musical Understanding and Phrasing, were responsible for his Globally Revered Unaccompanied Bach Sonatas & Partitas for Violin, and in his Third Full Recording of All the Bach Sonatas & Partitas, won the Grammy, as a Master of The Violin/Only Peer of Jascha Heifetz, yet, IMO, Greater with The Bow than even Heifetz!!! I can testify being witness to Mr. Milstein stating "it matters not whether I go up or down with the bow. I can make all louder or softer despite going Down!" Not here to criticise you, please have a happy return to watching and most closely the Bowing techniques naturally employed by Nathan Milstein's Bowing's and especially in Chording of All 4 Stringed Chords in the Chaconne of Bach plus his marvelled Bowing's in the Allegro Last Movement of the Bach Unaccompanied Sonata for Violin No. 3 in C Major with dazzling nearly dizzying bowings with bow-back technique when required, a term he used in mentoring me, already under major Concert Artist Mgmt, in London, on Same Violinist Roster with Henryk Szeryng; Ruggiero Ricci & Nathan Milstein!!! As Artist Mentor's We must enable those seeking More to be fully cognizant of All The Masters passed on to the fortunate of we few Then! Sending Violinist Greetings to You, I've a Question yet waiting 'til another Day re Ysaye's 3rd Solo Sonate in D, "Ballade"! Ref: www.theStad.com/Profile EM ~
