In his column in “die Zeit” Thomas Quasthoff called Maxim Vengerov a “top-class virtuosic violinist”, one who “knows how to roll through the most complicated of musical passages with instinctive certainty, connecting the most tender of melodies and fearlessly balancing them between irony and sentiment”. “The most tender of melodies” – that reads as beautifully as it sounds, and for this reason, and with great anticipation, we are particularly looking forward to his sonata debut this evening.
