The pinnacle golden standard for this whirlwind force of a concerto! Perfection does not exist in reality but this version to me is perfection!

The reverb in this hall is astounding.

This performance in truly astonishing, glad Mr.Vengerov played this piece in Taiwan this year!!!!🤩

Maestro DB’s conducting is mesmerising and the way the orchestra is responding…MV’s intonation and phrasing…OMG🙏

What a brilliant crowd, resisting the urge to applaud in between movements.

or even coughing as if they are in competition with each other! The CD also had brilliant sound!

I have always found Sibelius' music inadequately performed in the concert hall. His symphonies and tone poems speaks of a profundity and clarity than many composers of his time, a contrast exemplified by the often lengthy excessiveness of Mahler's symphonies, and his music has a distinctively Finnish timbre to it. This is a great performance by Vengerov and Barenboim. One must also listen to Sibelius' second and fifth symphonies.

Obile Wong I agree. This is a great performance. I love this violin concerto. Sibelius' 2nd and 5th symphonies are fantastic...but there's more... the strings in final movement in his 1st, the brooding 4th symphony, mysterious 6th, classical and difficult 3rd and the very special 7th... Not to mention, as I feel it anyway, his "goodbye" in Tapiola... I've always been such a fan of the great man's work.

All phrases in the 1st mvmt 0:32 - the opening 2:08 - intensifying part 2:38 - quick & elegant part 3:09 - beautiful octaves 4:18 4:28 - bright part 5:37 - epic part 7:35 - cadenza start 9:25 - cadenza ending 10:19 - similar to 3:09 but different notes 10:32 - darker part 11:44 - explosive part 13:24 13:35 - brightest part 15:00 - most epic part. 13:35, 23:09 & 30:35 are my favourite parts

I personally find around 19:47 to be my favorite passage. Hard to pick and choose since there are so many good ones but the poco crescendo being used is marvelous. Its expressed in a way that makes it highly remarkable for me.

It's such a one of a kind musical piece, every section of that has meaning, no filler.

Maravilloso Vengerov!! ❤ , Gracias por compartir .

Brilliant soloist for this composition.

Bello, apasionado como toda música de Sibelius. Excelente performance de Vengerov. Mil gracias por compartir.

Outstanding performance

Esta pieza me eleva. Sutil y poderosa.

Sometimes I feel like Maxim Vengerov can be too free spirited and is prone to going off the rails a bit more than many other soloists but, I love that about him because I feel like he's trying to catch lightning in a bottle a near impossible task and you are almost destined to fail but, now and again.... with this Sibelius Concerto I really think he did exactly that. Caught lightning in a bottle. chills down my spine from the first few notes. He may not always HIT. but when he does, look out. you will have absurd goosebumps and feel like you just had a once in 10 life time's experience. He just needs that one absolute firework to make every other unhinged moment worth it and boy does he bring the firework here. anyways, that's just my opinion. sorry if it's a bit strong.

Strabiliante anche se totalmente diverso dai concerti di Sibelius di altri suoi illustri colleghi. Per il mio gusto troppo romantico, persino più di Tchaikovsky.

... ¡¡¡ TLAZOKAMATI !!! ...

The violinist is undoubtably in love with himself, and truly so - what a terrific capability - but whether he is in love with the music he is playing is to be questioned. How different from Heifetz!

Oh really? Undoubtedly? What makes you so sure? Most instrumentalists of any level of fame don't think highly of themselves. Stop speculating. You have zero evidence. Vengarov seems opposite of what you claim. I see no sign of a big ego. He's an utter master and plays spectacularly and always has. He may move around a little more than most, but hardly. This man honors the COMPOSER. Not himself.

​@ly2867, probably assuming that because he has something of a dramatic flair to his play style that he's egotistical - they may feel that it draws more attention to him rather than his sound. Very silly, nonetheless but that's my guess.

You really have no idea what it is to be a violinist of this calibre.

Финал очень жестокий романс от 40 летнего достопочтенного маэстро Сибелиуса а какой повод замысла? Может картина"крик" иллюстрация

Pulling a silly face is optional whilst playing. Hope the audience can cough in D Minor during the quiet bits.

Horrible music....not pleasant in the slightest.
