Still Bruch and Mendelssohn ...

Of course, we immediately arises the question: why even a coupling 1 Bruch and Mendelssohn?
What we bring this CD? What new message can therefore deliver us Maxim Vengerov when everything seems to have been said and sealed by Heifetz, Oistrakh of, the Ferras, the Milstein, of Gitlis and many other geniuses of violin ...?
What a bold challenge for any young violinist that the urgent need to grapple with all great and want to say by taking these warhorses of the Directory!
And this is where the great miracle of Music!
For there was, and there will always be something personal to make to enrich our recorded heritage!
Well, Vengerov succeeds in convincing us, and very pleasant way. Certainly the language has become little or universal prou; he now looks like a kind of patchwork, but here the Russian violinist has perfectly match it and nothing strikes eurhythmy of these beautiful compositions!
His vast technical éployer allows it to be beautiful and intelligent phrasing few parsimonious rubato but better chosen. The fingerings are of correctness "Razor" and the sound is very beautiful, always a little forward as has now become accustomed.
The symbiosis with Kurt Masur and the Gewandhaus here is remarkable and attests to a probe preparation, each desk carrying the two concertos with conviction.
Obviously, the couple uses the latest techniques of Hi-Fi, which, moreover, makes perhaps his real asset next to the legendary versions!
