Virtuosi (11 Violien)
Mikhail Parkhomovsky - Dirigent
Live-Aufnahmen vom 28. bis 30. April 2001 im großen Musikvereinssaal in Wien, Österreich.
Dies ist vor allem eine unterhaltsame Platte - noch mehr als die meisten Zusammenstellungen von Violin-Paradestücken eine Scheibe für echte 'Naschkatzen' Hier ist ein junger Geiger auf dem Höhepunkt seiner Laufbahn, der sich von Anfang bis Ende an der Musik erfreut und nicht zu viel Anspruch mitbringt oder an der Technik arbeitet und unverschämt auf eine Weise auftritt, die für die meisten sehr liebenswert ist. Nicht, dass das Spiel die ganze Zeit extrovertiert ist ... "Mditationi" aus Massenets "Thas" vermittelt eine seltene Tiefe des Gefühls und macht es mehr als nur zu einem lyrischen Zwischenspiel. Von dieser vollen, offenen Aufnahme werden die vielen Anhänger dieses erfolgreichen jungen Geigers zweifellos ebenso begeistert sein wie das Wiener Publikum. - Grammophon

Rezension
Man kann ein Violin-Recital mit Orchester oder mit Klavier gestalten. Oder aber mit beidem, was sich hier als augesprochen reizvolle Variante erweist. Mikhail Parhamovsky, Konzertmeister des aus elf Violinisten bestehenden Ensembles Virtuosi, schrieb die Arrangements für Solovioline, sein “Orchester” und Klavier (Vag Papian). Abgesehen von Tschaikowksys sehr selten gehörtem, aus drei Stücken bestehenden “Souvenir d’un lieu cher”, besteht das Repertoire aus Wohlbekanntem: Rachmaninoffs “Vocalise”, Schuberts “Ave Maria”, drei von Brahms’ “Ungarischen Tänzen”, Nováceks “Perpetuum Mobile”, Dvoráks “Humoresque”, Massenets “Méditation” oder Khachaturians “Säbeltanz”; die sehr feinsinnige Instrumentation Parhamovskys ist aber ein sehr angenehmer neuer Aspekt, ohne die Stücke substantiell stark zu verändern. Der Star des Abends (denn es handelt sich um einen Livemitschnitt aus dem Wiener Sofiensaal) aber ist natürlich Maxim Vengerov, zu jenem Zeitpunkt immer noch erst 26. In den Jahren zuvor hatte der gebürtige Russe bereits sämtliche großen Konzerte (mit Ausnahme von Beethoven) zur Begeisterung von Publikum und Kritik eingespielt; hier erwies er sich als ebenso souveräner Meister der kleinen Form – mit sprühender Virtuosität oder lyrischer Sensibilität, je nach Werk. Auch bei dieser Vinyl-Premiere kann man den Koreanern für ihre Repertoireauswahl nur gratulieren…! (2001/2018)

Description
Analogphonic - PWC2L-00005 - 180 Gram Virgin Vinyl -
1st Time on Vinyl Limited Edition -
Mastered by Hans-Jorg Mauksch at Pauler Acoustic - Pressed at Pallas Germany
From the original masters of Warner Music
Violinist Maxim Vengerov is joined by Virtuosi, an ensemble of 11 violins lead by Mikhail Parhomovksy.
"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."
"The latest disc from Maxim Vengerov offers some refreshingly "lite" listening. Each selection was arranged for Virtuosi (an ensemble consisting of 11 violins) by its leader, Mikhail Parhamovsky. Pianist Vag Papian joins in all the works, creating an interesting hybrid of violin/piano duo and chamber orchestra, an arrangement that works particularly well in Manuel Ponce's hot-blooded Estrellita, Schubert's tranquil Ave Maria, and Khachaturian's rollicking Sabre Dance. Just as effective are Antonio Bazzini's Le Ronde des Lutins, which comes off sounding like one of Schnittke's nervy Concerti Grossi, and a beautifully homespun rendering of Dvorák's Humoresque No. 7. Of special interest is Tchaikovsky's rarely-heard three-movement Souvenir d'un lieu cher. One of the composer's more restrained works, it nonetheless features some beautiful tunes, especially the melancholy Méditation.
"Vengerov continues his well-earned reputation for violin wizardry as he sets off fireworks in the more festive and volatile pieces (Novácek's Perpetuum Mobile, Monti's Csárdás), and displays a warm, lush lyricism for the gentler items, such as Rachmaninov's Vocalise, played as a duo at the start of the program. The live recording was made in Vienna's Musikvereinsaal, a location that is considerably more reverberant than was probably necessary for such a small ensemble. But given Vengerov's popularity, a smaller space, however suitable for recording, would not have accommodated so large a crowd. This collection holds appeal for classical specialists and novices alike, and especially for aficionados of fine violin playing." - Victor Carr Jr., ClassicsToday

First time ever on vinyl records.
This is above all a fun record – even more than most collections of violin lollipops a disc for those with a very sweet tooth... Here is a young violinist at the peak of his form enjoying himself from first to last in music undemanding on the ear if not the technique, outrageously showing off in a way that for most will be very endearing. Not that the playing is extrovert all th time... ‘Méditationi’ from Massenet’s Thaïs conveys a rare depth of feeling, making it more than just a lyrical interlude. With full, open recording, this winning young violinist’s many devotees will no doubt have the same response as the enthusiastic Vienna audience. - Gramophone
