Maxim Vengerov doesn’t intend to stop playing violin

Music is a unique language, capable of conveying feelings without words, world-known violinist and conductor, Grammy laureate Maxim Vengerov said.

“To me, the violin in an extension of a soul, the bow is an extension of a hand. I take my violin along to every one of my journeys,” the musician told a news conference in Yerevan.

“Whatever the rumors may be, I will never stop playing the violin. That would be equal to refusing to speak my native language,” he stressed.
