NEW Website Launch! It is with great pleasure that I warmly welcome you to visit my brand new revamped website maximvengerov.com.
Released as part of the launch is this FULL masterclass with Brett Yang of TwoSet Violin on Ysaÿe’s Ballade. New concert videos to follow tomorrow as well. All these and more now available on my website!
Brett Yang has made a formidable reputation for himself as part of TwoSet Violin. Along with Eddy Chen, their highly amusing videos have become a phenomenon on social media, with over 1.5 billion (!) views and 8 million followers who observe their often painfully true and funny exploits as classical musicians exposed to the real world.
Despite their comedic talent, they remain first and foremost serious musicians.
Brett began his studies in Queensland, Australia and quickly became concertmaster of the Australian Youth Orchestra as well as the Queensland Conservatorium Symphony. One of his highlight performances was at the 2014 G20 Summit in the presence of Obama, Merkel, Rousseff, Abe and other world leaders. He made his debut performing the Tchaikovsky violin concerto in 2012 with the Queensland Conservatorium Orchestra and later performed Mozart’s Concerto No. 4 with Corda Spiritus. Since then he has worked professionally as a violinist in the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Queensland Symphony Orchestra and Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. As a 2013 honours graduate at the Queensland Conservatorium, he was awarded the prestigious Brisbane Club Scholarship.
Today, I will have the pleasure of hearing him play and exchanging on Ysaÿe’s marvellous Ballade.

This is quite a wonderful musical journey and experience , albeit a short episode.
Im lovin this painter look <3
My masterclass gets interrupted way sooner than that! Like two bars in then I'm getting the hand wave!
What an honor to be watching two masters at work. What a joy to be feeling the emotions with every bow. Completely speechless and in awe.
Why does the master starts this masterclass with house painting? On purpose. One needs to build muscle power and will power to play like mr. Vengerov. And emotional strength too. Wonderful playing, exhilarating. Thank you so much, master Vengerov. Brett, wonderful! Thank you so much too
What a lesson! Vengerov is such a great storyteller, mentor and pedagogist. WOW WOW WOW
Thank you Mr Vengerov I loved this class. i really liked how you drew out some necessary technical aspects, but always emphasised above all the story within the music, and how you shared your vision of this with Brett and us. I really felt that you opened for Brett a pathway for deeper connection with this piece and like you i was "bravo" and "nailed it" and clapping at the end with Brett's expression, which did feel, as you said, personal, as if he had written it himself.
Brett I am in awe of anyone doing a masterclass, and while I'm sure you've done them before, doing it on YT !….but, as a viewer i got so much out of this too, and i'm not even a musician; this piece was unknown to me, i dont know the composer either, but his masterclass really helped me engage with this music and i was surprised how fascinating I found it. That middle section OMG (Mr V said it's about pain) was just like re-enacting one of my migraines coming on, it actually made me feel a bit queasy…. then the final section in contrast is so liberating. So engaging. All up, this has been a must-watch 75 minutes. Thank you both.
Your compliments had Brett completely stunned. Twoset has been my introduction to the classical world and to people like yourself. They are very clear on how much they look up to you and I’m sure Brett will remember this for the rest of his life.
What a great master class shared with us👏👏👏👏👍👍
I preciate and definitely inspired by your passion for music and teaching❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
seeing the details of the masterclass in this video, it confirms more my thoughts that, being a great soloist is objectively, all about precise technics
but feelings, are used just to explain technic we don't have enough of knowledge as humans, to explain / describe precisely how to execute perfectly
so much truth in about creating the illusion, imagination is often the missing link. Timing, breath, and connection between notes is so hard to teach and show, one has to feel it before he can understands it. the bow connections and color makes a huge difference here, like seeing a 2d image vs a 3d image.
27:15 I think he means snorkeling. SCUBA divers have a tank and regulator that supply air underwater.
I appreciate this new style of modern, creative video making.
wow, you could hear Brett improving every step of the way, and Maxim is such a master that it changes your whole perspective of the piece!
This masterclass also serves to give a greater perspective, understanding and appreciation of the Ysaÿe
What a wonderful teacher !
Thank you so much for uploading, Maxim! Your masterclasses are always such a pleasure to watch – inspiring, informative, full of humour and encouraging. Any musician, no matter their instrument, can learn so much and become braver, because I think that's something a lot are lacking. Also thank you for talking about Enescu – when I listen to him play Chausson I'm not sure whether it's a violin or a human voice I'm hearing, it's quite uncanny and unmistakable. Bless you for the great work you are doing!
Брависсимо👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💪💪💪👍👍👍
Now I NEED to go to a Vengerov's concert
