MAXIM VENGEROV
Living the Dream – A film by Ken Howard;
Maxim Vengerov (violin)
EMI 503 4029 (NTSC system; PCM stereo; 16:9 picture format) 71 mins
WHAT THE JURY SAID:
‘The scenes of Vengerov rehearsing Beethoven with Rostropovich are reason enough to watch this. Yusupov’s “tango” concerto may leave this documentary diary on shaky ground, but Vengerov’s ardent personality is given plenty of space to speak for itself, and every aspiring musician should see the footage of his Moscow Conservatory masterclasses.’
