Top 5 Best Violinists Performances

A violinist can feel a bit overwhelmed when he or she first gets an instrument, but soon the music draws him or her in a way that only brings benefits. Violinists have a tool to express feeling and emotion in their hands; art and music are all connected to our emotions. Every experience in our lives can affect our artistic expression, which brings meaning to it. Playing the instrument is a way for you to speak whatever you want the audience to hear, and whoever is watching in the moment can connect with the player.

Top 5 best Violinists

Maxim Vengerov

Maxim Vengerov, born in Siberia, is a musician who has been inspired to try out many different styles of music, including baroque, jazz, and rock. In 2007 he turned his attention to conducting and became the first chief conductor of the Gstaad Festival Orchestra in 2010.

Maxim Vengerov: Beethoven – Violin Concerto

Vengerov certainly is unperturbed by his collaborator’s deliberateness, matching it with his own (all notes receive full value) and serving up a luscious, full-bodied tone throughout. Vengerov’s phrasing underlines the music’s heroic and lyrical qualities and bold strokes with tender touches. The arpeggiated main tune flows as if a piece of grace, as does much of the slow movement.

Joshua Bell

During his remarkable career, violinist Joshua Bell has gone from child prodigy to one of the most outstanding virtuosos of our time. He has performed at prestigious venues across the globe and created some of the most talked-about moments in classical music, such as this Washington D.C. metro performance in which he gave a solo concert without any knowledge that a hidden camera was filming him.

Born in Bloomington, Indiana, Bell began to play the violin at age four. At age twelve, he began lessons with Josef Gingold, one of his most influential mentors. By the time he was fourteen years old, he had debuted with Riccardo Muti and the Philadelphia Orchestra; by seventeen, he performed at Carnegie Hall with the St. Louis Symphony.

Kyung-Wha Chung

Chung is a violin soloist who is known across the world. She made her debut at the New York Philharmonic in 1968 after studying at Juilliard. Her first recording was with the London Symphony Orchestra on Decca, leading to her current contract and highly acclaimed Tchaikovsky and Sibelius concertos recording under André Previn.

Hilary Hahn

The astonishing Hahn, one of the greatest violinists, first picked up a violin just before her fourth birthday and was admitted to the Curtis Institute aged ten. Here is Hilary Hahn’s amazing performance of Bach’s Sarabande from his Partita No. 2 for solo violin.

Hilary is a three-time Grammy Award-winning violinist who has been praised for her expressive musicality and technical expertise. She’s committed to breaking down barriers in classical music through her choice of repertoire and her willingness to share her experiences with a global community of fans.

Janine Jansen

Violinist Janine Jansen, a Dutch specialist with a romantic tone like no other, seems to have been at the forefront of the violin world since she was a teenager. 

She was one of the most streamed classical artists as early as 2006. Her albums, all for Decca, have sold 850,000 copies but have been streamed 100 million times. Last September, she recorded an album with Sir Antonio Pappano on which she played 12 different Stradivari violins, including those once owned by Fritz Kreisler and Nathan Milstein.
