Gushing

This biography is too gushing -- to the point of embarrassment. Also, too long. (Much as I like his music.) PedEye1 03:59, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tone down of hagiography

The biography is now shorter and much less hagiographic than before. The previous version read like a besotted fan-page entry, where "embarassing" was being kind to it. In addition, I have added references and have thus removed the tag. DJRafe (talk) 04:12, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In addition, it turns out that much of the overflowery past version was more-or-less plagarised from the Adrian Hamilton 2005 article, without citation. DJRafe (talk) 01:58, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]


There is something amiss here...it says that Vengerov studied and moved with Bron in 1987. Yet I distinctly remember him giving a recital with his then current professor Matvei Liberman in about 1988 or 89. He was then a student at the special school for gifted musicians run at the Novosibirsk Conservatory where Liberman was professor of violin. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.189.12.122 (talk) 02:16, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Any relation to Nicholas Slonimsky?

I was just curious if Maxim Vengerov was related in any way to the Slonimsky family. Nicholas Slonimsky's mother's maiden name was Vengerova. Just curious. Thanks.69.234.58.67 (talk) 23:52, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

too advertorial

This is dreadfully in need of revision. The clue that hagiography is not absent is the sentence beginning with "Maestro" instead of the violinist's name. This is really absurd for someone not yet even 50 who is not generally recognized as being one of the greats.

Skip the ads! Will someone revise this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.130.34.61 (talk) 23:39, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Page needs a serious update

Need for Update

This article continues to need significant updating.

From 2008 to 2012, Vengorov performed very infrequently in public on violin, having suffered an exercise injury that affected his playing. During that time, he devoted himself extensively to conducting. I just learned these things while listening to a BBC broadcast of a recital he gave this month at Wigmore Hall in London -- a performance which was his first appearance in London in four years.
