Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The problem with Maxim Vengerov Plays Pieces by Bach, Shchedrin and Ysaÿe, is that Vengerov has achieved so much so young. In his 20s, he has recorded most of the major violin concertos as well as a good number of sonatas and virtuoso numbers.
Vengerov has been performing the Ysaÿe sonatas in concert halls in the early 21st century. These are fiendish works that test all aspects of the violinist's technique but fail to daunt Vengerov. In the hands of a lesser player, the sonatas can sound like technical studies; Vengerov, however, brings them alive with his innate musicality. He attacks the Bachian opening of the second sonata with gusto and maintains that spirit throughout the three further sonatas.
Rodion Shchedrin's Echo Sonata, the most substantial work on the disc, is not for the fainthearted either, but Vengerov relishes its extraordinary demands with glee. Rounding off the programme are Bruce Fox-Lefriche's arrangement of Bach's Toccata and Fugue BWV565 (the sleevenote suggests that the work began life as a solo violin sonata), a recording that demands repeated listening, and a live recording of Shchedrin's pizzicato miniature Balalaika, a gem of a piece which Vengerov delivers with his usual wit and panache. --Rebecca Agnew
