Maxim Vengerov, Violin; Polina Osetinskaya, Piano

Violinist Maxim Vengerov is one of the world’s most sought-after musicians of the past 40-plus years. Tonight, he adds two more pieces to the stunning list of works he’s performed on our stages, and he returns to an all-time favorite. Hear Shostakovich’s volatile Violin Sonata, a complex and forceful work that offers incredible interpretive possibilities; Schubert’s Violin Sonata in G Minor (a refreshingly digestible “sonatina,” as it was posthumously labeled); and Brahms’s impassioned Violin Sonata No. 3.
