Maxim Vengerov, violin Polina Osetinskaya, piano

Maxim Vengerov is considered one of the greatest violinists of all time, marrying a flawless technique acquired early in life to broad musical curiosity. His radiant and dramatic interpretations, the intensity of his sound, and the exuberant musicality of his playing are rooted in the great tradition of the Russian violin school. With his public debut at the age of 5 and a performance of the Mendelssohn Concerto at age 7, Vengerov’s career has been marked by dozens of awards, honors, and recordings. Born in Siberia to two musicians, he studied throughout Europe before moving to Israel as a teenager.
