I'm not an expert on the Violin repetoire and have just started to explore it a little. I've been familiar with Barenboim as a concert pianist for a long time though and brought this one on the basis of his reputation.
Really pleased with it. The Brahms D major concerto itself is lovely - at 6 minutes and 46 seconds in you get the first appearance of that haunting melody and Vengerov delivers it beautifully. A great Cadenza and the 3rd movement is fabulous.
Vengerov generates power as well as emotion here and I'll definitely be buying more of his recordings based on my experience with this one. An almost father and son pairing of conductor and performer that works extremely well.
I enjoyed the D Minor performance too but really brought this for the D Major concerto.
Comfortably recommended.

The Brahms concerto is well known for its demands on the solist (I believe that it was declared 'unplayable in public' by its dedicatee) so it needs a virtuoso violinist and yes, this is a virtuoso performance. However, virtuosity must be subservient to musicality and I don't feel that Vengerov is truly sympathetic to the 'inwardness' intrinsic in Brahms's music (often simulatneously with extrovert rhythm and dynamics). This is very much a personal matter, and others will disagree, but if you recognise what I am saying about Brahms, I think you will probably feel the same!

but then when is Vengerov not outstanding. It was the other bloke I was worried about but I needn't have been because the two sit together and complement each other beautifully, the attack of the soloist with the safe hands of the old master.
