Maxim Vengerov
The Russian star violinist Maxim Vengerov made his first recording at just ten years of age. A winner of the International Henryk Wieniawski Violin Competition and the Carl Flesch International Violin Competition, he plays a broad repertoire ranging from Baroque music to jazz and rock.
Maxim Vengerov was born in 1974 and began to win awards in international competitions and record solo CDs already 10 years later. One of the world's most important musicians and conductors studied under G. Turchanina and Zakhar Bron. He also turned to conducting at the beginning of the new century, following the example of his mentor Mstislav Rostropovich, which he studied at the Moscow Institute.
Maxim Vengerov has performed with the Orchestra Filarmonica della Scala, Monte Carlo Philharmonic and Paris Philharmonic, has visited New York, Toronto, Vienna, London, Aspen, Taiwan, Shanghai and many more. He regularly performs in Europe, America and Asia. His most recent CD was released in 2020, where he recorded Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto and works in C. Saint-Saens and M. Ravel.
He has won numerous awards (Grammy Award, Gramophone Award, ECHO Award, World Economic Forum Crystal Award, etc.), has been recognized by numerous institutions and has been the subject of several documentaries (Playing by Heart, Living the Dream).
However, one of Vengerov’s greatest missions is to pass on his knowledge and experience to the next generation, which he does both in his many masterclasses and at Mozarteum University Salzburg as well as the Royal College of Music in London. He has also published a set of online lessons on music performance in 2021 and initiated a number of other educational and outreach programmes.
