Translations of the Russian Parts- 1. 14:00 Yes, I am strict because I am interested in professional training/education. Just smiling kindly to a child and giving him an A grade (she says 5 because that's the best grade in Russia) for what? It isn't interesting and the student doesn't need that either. 2. (conductor) ? You did the same thing yesterday. Please. 3. 15:24 When he was five years old (not sure of what she said, maybe because I can't hear the part properly), they came to me for a class at ten in the morning, not really early though. I saw that he let down his hands (they hung limp), his eyes were heavy with sleep and he doesn't pick up, doesn't play, just stands there, I didn't know what was wrong with him. And then he says, "They forced me to practice at night." I said, "What do you mean, at night?" His mother was there with him at the class and she said, "Yes it is necessary to practice for three hours every day. My husband and I were at work the whole day, we came back home, gave him a little bit of time to sleep at night and then from 11 to 2 at night (she says at night) we were practicing. He needs to practice for three hours every day!" 4. 28:05 - His mastery outgrew all my opportunities. Right now, I can't tell him anything/say anything to him. There's a famous saying/expression that every pedagogue must strive, as early as possible, to be unneeded/unnecessary to his student. And factually, it has been a long time that Maxim has no need of a pedagogue. Factually, he has been alone from the age of sixteen. I did my job. And his creative development is due to the contact with wonderful conductors, pianists like Daniel Barenboim. This is already a great level of artistic development. 5. 34:18 This is not only a question of will, The hands must also listen. This isn't just art, This is also a sport for fingers, it is the training of muscles. If he wasn't taught from the age of four and was taught from the age of twelve, then the lack of technical intercourse (?) and the ... of the instrument wouldn't have given him the opportunity to express his talent as a musician. That is why I am very happy for him. Why am I proud? I am proud due to the fact that this talent wasn't wasted.

"It's like when you leave home as a young person, and you come back much later after having made your life. Your home is the same, looks the same, and yet, it is different. It is different because of the way you perceive it. It is different because of the journey." -Barenboim My favourite quote ever

This should have millions of views.

His master classes are wonderful, true treasure for a music learner!

I can't recall previously standing up in front of my computer & enthusiastically clapping with the rest of the crowd as I did witnessing this Genius

He has such strong character, not just in his playing, but everywhere else.

His mama.....such a lovely lady! And like all mums, she wants her son to have a girl who understands him like his mama

i'm watching this for only 15 mins and i learned how to talk music in my playing, to play music like how a child plays his toys, to make drama out of the music, it just takes away my mind out of the technical side and savor the music. i just enjoy it and it adds more fun in my practicing, i love music more from this day on.

If I could play a piece, any piece, with such intensity, aggression and yet clarity focus and precision as Maxim Vengerov, I would be a happy musician.

I've watched this several times already and I don't get tired of it. It just keeps me inspired to just live... To love... Maxim Vengerov's music helps me with that.

He's teaching people to make music in present time with feeling.

This has to be my favourite music documentary ever! Have watched it twice in 24 hrs, and will watch again and again. What Vengerov’s mother said about her son is true: He is a musician with heart, a good man, a big heart for everybody. Thank you so much for this documentary.

I love the characteristics and personality of his mother!

I don’t play the violin but I enjoyed this immensely

I play violin and it just helped me respect and understand more about Maxim's genious

Amazing

i still dont feel like enough people know about him in the U.S. He's brilliant

4:23 HE PLAY WITH GLOVES... THE BEST

Oh, that tambourin chinoise make me remember my old days !!!!!! Maxim is the best.

Thank you! No question that he is one of the greatest violinist.

I was lucky enough to see these 2 together in this masterpiece live.Oh words are not good enough it is just the feeling from the music the way they play it that makes you soar.

Definition of perfection on the violin. so brilliante!

He is a masterpiece. He creates masterpieces. He transmits the music like nobody else. I feel every note maxim. Continue spreading your love and happiness throughout the world. You make it a better place.

So difficult technically to stay in tune, manage all the complications of the bow, and get "it all" together, but that is only just the start! To make the music sound great is the real challenge! Plenty are able to cope with the former, not too many the latter! Essentially an impossible instrument, but oh so fantastic when all comes together! Love it!

I've had the privilege of attending a Vengerov recital with the Brahms sonatas. So wonderful!

Great video about a great guy. Many thanks for posting it!

"The oboe was somewhere in the woods" LOL

I'm so happy watching this.

Such a wonderful musician and doc, thank you.

WOW, music is... I just can’t even find a word to describe it...

Maestro Vengerov, I adore you! You are best of the best! ;)

I bought a CD of his when I was 13 because he had a spectacular face. I listened to it over and over again, because it was energetic and wonderful. Now, as a married 28 year-old woman, I listen to him because of the spectacular sound. There is no better violinist. Keep it up, Vengerov!

so amazing musician,deeply feel pieces , great pedagogue, warm, generous. thanks a lot!!

I have been to HIS masterclass!!!! Maximisa GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will go again to the orchestral masterclass by Vengerov soon! Hooray!!!!!!!!!1

Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso, wonderful piece.

Maxim de verdad te admiro muchísimo, seguramente te lo han dicho miles de veces, lo mereces, eres maravilloso ser humano!!!!

HE CAN PLAY IN HIS GLOVES

King of the Violin 👑👑

великий музыкант тем и отличается от простого музыканта, что умеет вложить свои чувства и любовь в классическое произведение, исполнить его так, чтобы задеть струны нашей души настолько глубоко, что они начинают играть в нас самих. не каждому дано. это особый склад характера, могущество души, богатство сердца музыканта и , конечно, его харизма.

Obrovský zážitok vidieť a precítiť hru,názory a výučbu mladých talentov!Bravo Maestro Vengerov!Fantastický huslista!Anika.

Thoroughly enjoyed this documentary, grateful for posting! Definitely watching it a few more times!!!!

This video reminded me to love my instrument, and love what I do. Thank you so much!!!!!

So wonderful! Thank you very much!

I Love Vengerov's musicality. since i've seen this i've decided i'm going to try to be more musical now.

I didn't expect to watch the whole video, but I ended up watching. Words cannot describe how impressed I am with this man...

Maxim Vengerov ein fantastischer Geiger mit einem großen Herz. Ich liebe alle Videos mit ihm .Vielen Dank !

His deep understanding of dynamics just make him so interesting to listen to My favorite violinist ever

This is absolutely mind blowing!!!

So inspirational. Maxim Vengerov is surely the best.

pure genius

Great documentary, although shame there's no subtitles in places for his teacher Galina Turchaninova.

I love him

This is great! It shows that technics it's just a tool! important by the way. Playing with your heart and soul and in an expressive way is what touches the audiences heart and soul. Thanks for posting this.

È talmente bello ascoltarlo che ogni volta mi faccio un "piantino" per la commozione. Bravissimo è dir poco...Stupendo. Grazie ❤

I love how he played his violin. So elegant, so free, such enjoyment. It's man and music in one.

Vengerov is The Violin God. Wonder who are those 57 people hitting thumbs down. Jealous competition, or just plain ignorant of great music/talent. Probably JB fans....lol

He is in the very great Russian tradition of uncountable violin artists. Sometimes he reminds me the young David Oistrakh, but with his very own style (and charm )

I think I finally really undertood what music is after watch so many vengerov masterclasses

Heavenly. Absolutely beautiful !!! ☻

This is absolutely delightful!

What an amazing artist.

This is so Wonderful, brings back many old memories of school and my violin. Thank you

Wow! This doc was so beautiful on so many levels!!! Life affirming!!!

SAME DOB AS HIM- MY MUSE SINCE I WAS 17 ..... HIS SIBELIUS IS DIVINITY - HE IS IMMORTAL....

M. Vengerov es maravillo, extraordinario maestro, excelente

esecutori e concerti fantastici, come POCHI! !

One of the greatest indeed he speaks trough the violin

Maxim Vengerov,un músico nacido en la capital de Siberia,que toca el violin como los propios angeles,simpatico, buen profesor y ademas, tiene un temperamento jovial.en fin,un fenómeno en todos los sentidos.

Te admiro tanto Maxim Vengerov

i looooooove him

48:58 Maxim understood that borenboim whas too rough on this coord!!! That expression hahahah.. Vengerov at that age was at his peak... untouchable!

Haha, the way she bites her lip, she loves him already.. xD

yes, indeedy!

Браво!!!❤❤❤❤

Sensacional!!! Terrific!!!

Thank-you :)

Best excellence！ Violin music

wunderbar !

fantastic video!

Maxim Vengerov is a siberian tiger.

Magnifique!

thank you very much :D

this video is so inspiring. Ans as a 17-year-old boy in 2022, haw I watched it to many times

Good!!!

Bravo

Un TRES bel Anniversaire Maestro !!!!! 15/03/14 ..... 08 for you !!

indeed!!!

amazing

Виртуоз Максим ----Гениальный

Zeno and NicolasBontems, both you are right: if this video was with millions of views certainly the world would be much less miserable.

Master!

Explendido Maxim

Aside from the fact that he's a great violinist, Vengerov is always too spicy for me!

The small shiny bits are pieces of alluvial gold, where I am developing a gold mining operation, but I am still able to play my old French fiddle, of course not like Maxim or Itzhak, but such fun trying to work my way through difficult spectacular fiddle pieces!!

Qué grande :D

He IS the best for so many reasons, technical ability is a SMALL part of his talent. His understanding is most of it.

Maxim practices just cuz he loves his mom *awwwweeee*

0:55 "Star quality or charisma" - of course! Look at that frikin smile

GRANDE VENGEROV

bravo..
