Maxim Vengerov relaunches US career
OrchestrasThe mid-career violinist, 49, has transferred his North America management to boutique agency Arabella Arts.
Co-owner Stefana Atlas says: ‘I met Maxim many years ago when he performed, toured, and recorded with Kurt Masur, the New York Philharmonic, and the Gewandhaus Orchestra, and am thrilled our paths have recently crossed again. Maxim is one of those incredible musicians composed entirely of talent, passion, know how, sincerity, and depth. He continues to touch audiences around the world with his artistry, taking you on an exciting musical journey with each concert. There is no one like Maxim! Both Samantha and I are humbled and honored to be working with such a unique artist and look forward taking this journey by his side and helping him realize his artistic goals and dreams.’
Good luck!! The expansion of Arabella Arts will bring it to be one of the top five global concerns. You do impeccable work. Continued success!
What happened to him? I understand he had an injury, but he seems to be able to play fully for a while now, then he tried his hands at conducting, then he became a full time prof, but then he isn’t booked anywhere, he seems to be floundering all over the place….
Maxim is one of the greatest violinists of the last 25 years! His musical commitment and execution are beyond description. Bravo maestro!
I guess vulgar and unrefined playing is back in style…..?
No, I saw him play at the beautiful Mechanics Hall in Worcester, MA last season. He’s back in great shape. Great tone, perfect intonation. Vulgarity was not of it.
Good for him! He’s a wonderful player, certainly, if a bit too aggressive for some repertoire in my opinion.
Mr Vengerov used to play as if he was “Taz”, the Tasmanian devil, of the violin. It worked well in the Kreitzer Sonate.
