Beautiful, sensitve, lyrical performance! What a sublime silvery tone KAVAKOS gets from his viollin! Such a pity audience had to clap after every movement and shatter the magical atmosphere being created!
Streaming it on tv. Revisiting the concert I watched before. Addicted to Korngold: Violin Concerto. So gracefully played by Virtuoso Leonids Kavakas and NDR Elbphilharmonie conducted by Alan Gilbert. Thank you.
Goodly sound in super difficult passion. Super talented. Orchestra work beautifuly. Such a great great great interpretation together because of very intens music texture of both side. Exelente work of condacter.
There are so many ways to play the Korngold violin concerto and this performance is one of them. Kavakas is a superb artist as demonstrated here. Thanks.
Absolutely enchanting, haunting and wonderful. As a lover of Mr Korngold’s brilliant film scores, it’s such a privilege to listen to his classical side, which still sneaks in some romantic themes! Bravo. Thank you for sharing this delightful piece.
There are few violinists producing such a pure and sweetly lyrical tone as Kavakos. This hyper romantic concerto could not have a better advocate. Shame on the ignorant audience for applauding between the movements. This should be explicitly forbidden in the program notes.
