Free Music Notes for Vengerov and Virtuosi
Free Music Review: Old-fashioned sentiment
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful performance of great sentiment and nuance. Yeah, it's schmalzy...but that's intrinsic to the choice of pieces.
As soon as I saw it, I knew this one would be a great gift for my 90-year-old mother, whose father was a violinist and dance orchestra leader. Too bad he's not around to enjoy this CD.
Vengerov and Virtuosi Poster
Fiddle fanciers will have a field day with this disc, whose 15 selections veer wildly between treacle and flash, sauce and sentiment. Everything's done with virtuosity. How could it be otherwise with Maxim Vengerov front and center, his instrument either throbbing with emotion or getting giggles from the audience with its imitation of high-pitched bird squawks? He's supported by a pianist and the 11 violins of Virtuosi, who back him in this selection of encore pieces whose arrangements are sometimes clever, sometimes corny. At times, it all gets a bit much (innocent bystanders can be smothered in vibrato); at other times listeners who suspend their critical faculties can just enjoy it. Vengerov certainly seems to and so does the Viennese audience. --Dan DavisClassical Music CDs
