Blazing virtuosity and breathtaking expressiveness have been the hallmarks of Russian-born violinist Maxim Vengerov's sound for decades. The multiple Grammy and Gramophone Award winner has taken a fascinating path from his formative years as a child prodigy in Siberia, through studies with mentor Mstislav Rostropovich, to a phenomenal international career that has included prestigious posts as a conductor and educator. Vengerov returns to Berkeley with frequent collaborator pianist Polina Osetinskaya to charm us anew with "that gloriously rich, focused sound; that nimble, immaculate technique; that sense of meaning and purpose he injects into even single notes; and, above all, that effortless charisma" (The Strad).
