Grammy Laureate Violinist Maxim Vengerov, as part of a world tour, will give a concert in Russia

The famous violinist, Maxim Wengerov, as part of a world tour, will give a concert in Moscow in the Hall of Tchaikovsky on May 15. As Elena Tyurina told Interfax, Vengerov will perform the work of Mozart, Beethoven, Prokofiev and Shostakovich, accompanied by the piano.

In February 2004, Maximus Vengerov awarded the Grammy Award in the nomination "The Best Instrumental Solo with the Orchestra" for the performance of the Britten Violin concert and the Altary concert of Walton with the London Symphony Orchestra (conductor - Mstislav Rostropovich).

32-year-old Maxim Wengerov plays on the work of Antonio Stradivari. The master created this one of his best tools in 1727, Tyurina noted. Later, the violin belonged to the French violinist-virtuoso Rodolf Kreutzer and therefore went down in history under the name "Kreutzer".

Maxim Vengerov, who is a professor at the Saarlandes Higher School (Germany), is widely known for his charitable activity: in 1997 he became the first musician - the Messenger of Unisef.

Vengerov was 14 years old when he left the USSR in 1986. Over the next years, he only spoke in Russia twice. He made the first exception for Mstislav Rostropovich - he spoke in honor of his anniversary in January 2004. The second is for Yuri Bashmet, in connection with the award of the Bashmet Foundation in December 2005. Thus, the concert on May 15 in the Tchaikovsky Hall in Moscow will be the third concert of an outstanding musician in Russia since leaving.
