Maxim Vengerov

Live from the Barbican in London, Maxim Vengerov (violin) and Roustem Saitkoulov (piano) perform music by Schubert, Beethoven, Ravel, Ysaye, HW Ernst and Paganini.

Maxim Vengerov in recital live from the Barbican.

One of the world's leading violinists makes a welcome return to London's Barbican Hall with a programme which evokes the spirit of the legendary Romantic virtuosi. Maxim Vengerov is a violinist steeped in the great Russian tradition of violin playing and, since his debut as a child prodigy he has been at the forefront of world music making as a player, mentor, teacher and cultural ambassador. Tonight's programme begins in the lyrical Viennese world of Beethoven and Schubert and ends with the fireworks of Paganini's variations on Rossini. And there are sure to be plenty of encores.
