vengerov is a great singer

For those who argue Mozart's music is so easy to play, and even simplistic, here's the deal: His concealed and prompting difficilty can take the word "intricasy" to unexpected levels. Great example, marvelous way to show the point.

4:11 Her face! "Oh, cram it Vengerov!"

When Vengerov plays the world just lights up

The incredible thing is that she actually got better in this five minutes, playing the thing with more emotion and color if you compare the last attempt at the end of the video with the first one at the beginning. Vengerov, AMAZING musician and human being.

He explains the emotions quite perfectly, i understand how he became recognised as one of the best violinist and musician currently alive!

2:29 For those who think she's resisting his insight. She's not. There you see she recognizes she didn't match the idea before he even speaks. So in fact she's trying to adopt his language and has problems translating it to hers. And it's perfectly fine! This is music and probably those who don't play violin can't read the subtleties Vengerov is pointing out.

here's the thing...the great teachers don't ''kick ass'' in their masterclasses--they help forward progress. that's what makes them great teachers/musicians!

That "Yaaamhpaah" hehehe

maxim isn't just a violinist he's already humanist....i do like this man

I love this!! He would tear me apart with phrasing and bow technique probably but he is a genius teacher. I never thought of Mozart this way the imagery is so good!! Thank you maestro!!! Thank you!! The cadenza is a beast as well though lol

0:36 LOL, he is so funny and so so sincere, I wish I could meet him one day. :D So musical.

He is so funny and sincere , we can't find a better

Maxim Vengerov is one of my favorite artists and teachers....

OMG this guy would rip me apart! I love how teachers can always find something you can improve on.

Speaking to younger viewers/novice musicians in particular here: A lot of philosophy! It is sometimes TOO much for some students, otherwise it is just the right amount for those for the students who can (and like to) think outside the box. Often: the music is not about the instrument at all.... for example, if you play the trumpet and were told you'd never get it back if you threw it away - you can imitate that trumpet sound through singing! That is what Master Vengerov's explaining here! It applies to almost any instrument! He really is a great artist/musician/teacher/philosopher! We need to see more of this and of course this is available to buy on DVD (maybe downloads now, but I bought this DVD back in 2011), and other masters like Yuri Bashmet for viola, and 'Slava Rostropovich can also be seen and learned from via DVD back in this time (circa 10 years ago).

What a team Mozart and Vengerov- Bravo!

He's so hilarious yet so good.

dat trill though. he is such a lovely person

The student, in my opinion, already sounded like a professional violinist. No wonder the art of violin playing is hard to grasp. I think she was at that time one of the brightest students at the Royal Academy of Music so to be given a masterclass by Vengerov.

This girl is so determined to keep her own interpretation of this piece that she almost completely dismisses his advice.

Not easy to have Vengerov as a teacher!

People in the comments giving this poor young woman so much harsh criticism. I genuinely think that's just her face and she's having fun and doing her best to take his advice.

vengerov is all time legend. my dream is to meet him someday just to say he is my biggest hero

I hear the concerto differently now, even focussing on these few bars alone!

He makes it look like it was easy and it is NOT hahaha, however, I love him!

He has an inspiring way of teaching.

He must have been frustrated. She was a typical know it all young person who was tough to get her to break out of her classical training and playing notes. He was trying to get her to put feeling into her performance instead of playing notes in succession. Just look at his facials and body movements compared to hers. Hes a genius with violin and music and anyone who wanted to better themselves would be soooooo lucky to have him work with them. Utterly inspirational.

@5l19a: I love how patient he is! =D A lot of professionals can be snobby, but he sure isn't. ;) And he it looks like he's havin' fun. :3

In front of top 5 violinist last century I have so much respect for the student. She killed it! 🎉

I can tell it's not fun for her, but how he makes it improve is amazing.

he is asking a lot from the student, I think she was listening and playing very well, from 3:09 you could see that she clearly understood maxim's analogy with the basketball, to wait a little before landing on the second note.

It's Mozart's 3rd Violin Concerto. He's singing bits of the 1st movement that they are working on.

生徒は優美なタイプ 先生が教える力強い入り方のニュアンスがなかなか伝わらない

Fabulous instruction, Maxim! (From a string teacher of 60 +years ago).

o cara é bom dms, sem mas.

perfect!

In the first part of the session V. uses the basketball metaphor to impart some basic phrasing. It takes her a few tries, but eventually she gets it. (BTW the metaphor is not at all 'out there': a conductor I played under for a number of years used a similar one, though he preferred tennis ball and racket to basketball and hoop!) In the second part V tries to open her up to the singing possibilities in the music but it is a hard lesson for her, because she has done too much rote playing up till now.

When ball is life

i like your point but. if you are someone's main teacher then yes the big points are the biggest focus. At a masterclass you have limited tools, you offer them bits that point to a bigger truth, if only partially. If you understand the inherent potential of a single phrase, then one can approach other phrases and work on them with this knowledge. You don't really need to go through much of the concerto to cover a big picture. great teacher told me gotta pick many things from one bit of info.

Maxim is incredible

You remind me of Heifetz the way you teach your students are so lucky.

maxim was very patient, if that was me, i can't take much longer...

:o Mozart invented basketball !

que interesante. Ojala y pueda conseguir el DVD, MUY BUENO.

Vangerov the best!!! Love it!!

Damn, I love him.

I feel bad for the pianist

I like his older masterclasses but this and a couple of other recent ones I've seen are a bit painful to watch as you get the feeling the students are annoyed with the interuptions

DeLay, How we miss you!

Jejeje al fin una pieza que puedo tocar... jeje.. GOOD, MAXIN!!

Totally agree!!

if that concerto takes about an hour how long is this masterclass gonna take

@5l19a lol it's perfectly understandable if she's nervous xD

vengerov is a great singer yet a great dancer

As always great teaching, but I say to my students, 2 down bows at the beginning, think your opening up a great bottle of Champagne and play like it‘s an aria. I played basketball but I was really too small.

That guy is operating on a completely different level

I want to buy the full length DVD of this masterclass. But for some reason, I can't load the website on my PC. I'm preparing this concerto for audition in a Uni. But I have no teacher to guide me regularly on this. So I am in dire need of this class. Please help. 🙂

Well said.

whats the name of the song they are working on ?! its so beautiful

this was my exam piece fucking 4 years ago, and I just discovered THIS?! OMG

Great

Sounds good , 👏👏👏🎻🎵🎶🎼

at 5:25 I shook my head and said "damn"

How nice to notice that even Vengerov students are not worldclass :)

Maxim is the best! Maybe when Yasha or Yehuda could be alive probably they would be a little bit better ;)

生徒さんも優秀。指導する先生はヴェンゲーロフ。なかなか細かいニュアンスが伝わらない

I wonder where Mártha is now. I don’t see much of her on the Internet.

I bought the masterclass video for this concerto it is not the whole concerto only the half how can I get the 2nd part?

ヴェンゲーロフ先生はスパルタ式ではない。優しく、しかし細かく指導されている。

入り方で、深くえぐるように鳴らせ、と先生は説明している 生徒は気品が強くなるように鳴らす その違いがなかなか伝わらない

@SuperViolinplayer He wouldn't have a lot to say to Heifetz. I think it would end up as a discussion on different ideas and ways of interpreting the peice.

ヴェンゲーロフ先生は、レッスンは穏やか。怖い先生ではない。しかし細部まで詳しく要求される。

he use many metaphors

So why is she coming to his master class? If she wants to play it in her own way, there was no need for her to come to the masterclass. In a masterclass one has to be surrender to the master opinions, open minded, and be able to try what the master says. Later on, you should weigh which ideas from the master agree with your way of playing and incorporate them, and disregard those that you think don't contribute to much to your technique or style. Or was she trying to show him how well she plays?

maximus!

力を込めて入れ、と先生は必死に説明している すんなり鳴らさずに、と 生徒にはなかなか伝わらない

good violin

poor girl! but, i love the teacher. finalmente lo logra.

She plays beautifully but it took her a full 3 minutes to understand what Vengerov was saying about the first two notes.

This. Is. So. Cool. 🤓

What's song in 1:42 ??

He could be a singer)))

she has to realize she is there for not playing but for learning. she keeps try to play her style and keep doing her concert. that doesn't make sense.

genio

the pianist is tadashi imai?

i really liked her violin song than the teacher one...wich violin she is playing?°

'Every composer has a different colour' yeah, and so is every violinist and their violins and the various strings they use. The girl in my opinion has her own. Having said that tho, a master will always have something to say regardless.

@SuperViolinplayer of course every interpret thinks that his interpretation is how the composer thought of the piece

2:13 you're welcome

me encanto ese gesto: "dejate de romper las pelotas, maxi !!"

dear god...!

1:02

Maybe I'll stick to become a piano accompanist😂😂

O.O Un mentor como el cuanto ha de cobrar????

She was getting impatient with his trying to get colors and dimensions out of her...

y todavia se encabrona porke le dice como hacerle pa que se oiga mejor

Am I the only one who thinks he looks like Sam Smith?

wow, these students really can't change how they play. They're good, but they don't listen to anything he says. Phrasing can be very difficult, but they are just so stubborn, probably because they practice so much so they aren't fluid with their expressions. Instead, their feelings are solidified into the music.

It’s funny how similar this masterclass feels to private lessons😂
