Maxim Vengerov to release new recordings exclusively on IDAGIO
Today we’re excited to announce that world-renowned violinist Maxim Vengerov has chosen our service to exclusively release his latest recordings. Vengerov will also become an IDAGIO Ambassador and help us to promote new ways of listening to classical music in the digital age.
Maxim Vengerov: “This is a new chapter in my recording life. I have specifically selected IDAGIO as a partner going forward because of the high audio quality they offer their subscribers, as well as their remarkably comprehensive and easy to navigate catalogue. IDAGIO is a pioneer in classical music and offers experiences no other streaming service can compete with.”
When and where will the new recordings be available?
The first album is available right now to IDAGIO listeners worldwide, featuring a new recording of Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto with conductor Myung-Whun Chung and the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, coupled with works by Saint-Säens and Ravel. A second release will be available on February 4. Following Maxim Vengerov’s Royal Albert Hall concert on June 12, further recordings will be released to mark his 40 years on the stage.
What will this new partnership look like?
We will be releasing and promoting Maxim Vengerov’s recordings to our listeners worldwide. At the same time, Vengerov will be actively promoting IDAGIO as an important tool within the classical music community. His fans and followers can also get 15% off their yearly IDAGIO subscription with the voucher code “MAXIM VENGEROV”.
Till Janczukowicz, CEO and Founder of IDAGIO: “Maxim Vengerov is one of the most extraordinary artists of our time. For me, Maxim represents both the tradition and the future of classical music. He is a direct heir to 3 musical giants: Mstislav Rostropovich, who was his mentor and who was himself mentored by Shostakovich and Prokofieff. An artistic legacy that Maxim passes on to the young generation of artists in his capacity as a teacher. Partnering with Maxim, is an honor for IDAGIO and it showcases perfectly how technology can foster great art.”
What does this mean for the future?
With more partnerships and an extended Ambassador Program for solo artists and orchestras planned for 2020, we intend to give classical music artists more decision-making power in how their music is released, distributed and promoted.
