Vengerov to replace Tetzlaff at Verbier; medici.tv streaming concert live
Maxim Vengerov will replace Christian Tetzlaff in today’s performance of the Brahms Violin Concerto as part of the Verbier Festival, streamed by medici.tv at 1 PM EDT. This concert marks the Russian virtuoso violinist’s live debut on medici.tv, as well as his return to the Verbier Festival stage after several years’ absence. He will perform Brahms’s famous Violin Concerto, accompanied by the Verbier Festival Orchestra under the baton of Jaap van Zweden (he performed Brahms at the festival in 1996 under the direction of Claudio Abbado, available in the medici.tv catalogue).
Considered one of the best violinists of his generation, Vengerov has a strong bond with the Verbier Festival; the violinist’s first appearance on the festival’s stage dates back to 1994. He and the Verbier Festival Chamber Orchestra recorded Mozart’s Second and Fourth Violin Concertos for EMI Classics in 2007. More details on the festival and medici.tv‘s broadcasts are below.
