Before really getting into the violin, I would have scoffed at what he said about the violin being able to cry, sing, and be angry; but having watched masters play I get the exact same feeling. Something about the violin is just so awesome. It's like an extension of the player.
Maxim Vengerov is my favourite violinist. He accomplished so much when he was young! Interesting fact (if u didn't know) He first played "The Last Rose of Summer" (Ernst) when he was only 14 years old. He recorded it onto his first album along with some other difficult pieces.

thank you for up load it, is amaizing hear and see him! thanks again!
Yes but what he is getting at is, you can STILL learn, of course, there is nothing stopping anyone who wants to, and that's the main point, whether you start at 62 or have played from the age of 10 to 62 doesn't matter as long as you enjoy what you do :)
I agree with his last word that anyone can learn to play violin. I am 62 and just started learning. I am doing good according to my young teacher. and I will be better as time goes by. I hope people stop telling other Oh I think you are too old for that. one day I will post my best performance on youtube.
Vengerov's Evah Pirazzi strings are specially made by Pirastro to withstand brute force(techniques such as extreme left-hand pizz e.g. La Ronde des Lutins). They are [custom made] called "Bullet-proof" Evah Pirazzi's.
One problem with me is that I'm a pretty good player, but I'm not much of a showman - audiences really put me off, and I want to fix it because playing for people in various situations seems to fun! Vengerov's a very well-rounded musician in all such aspects, well done to him :)
@hossein1326 I also think that age doesn't matter when you want to learn to play the violin and I got excited to see that this comment was posted 3 years ago and that I would see the progress of an adult learner. But there's nothing on your channel :( Have you stopped playing the violin or did you just post anything?

I hope you do! I just started at 45, and am having the time of my life!

A phenomenal, intelligent, and gracious artist.
His story about the old lady in Auschwitz is simply fantastic!

Hey, he played the bach without shoulder rest!!
Yeah, I've found it :P
It's from Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on theme by Paganini and it should be no.18
:D
Have a look Irvy Gitlis playing Rondo, he is 89 at the moment and he could be a good inspiration!
does someone know the piece he plays around 1:40 ?
please tell me what it is, I absolutely love it!
