Mendelssohn: Violin Concerto in E minor - Leonidas Kavakos /Stanislav Kochanovsky /RNSO 

Finally, a video of kavakos playing that is not in potato quality.

Phenomenal performer. Beautiful tone and phrasing. His music reaches the heart.

Ho ascoltato Kavakos per prima volta nel 1988 ad Atene.. E mi e' rimasto impresso quale miglior violinista mai ascoltato. Gia da allora

Лучший скрипач нашего времени ,который ещё играет смычком ,а не прыгает как все остальные скрипачи .

This was a performance to a very high standard. Apart from the soloist who is indeed one of the best violins in the world, also the orchestra and the conductor were excellent. Congratulations to everybody!!!

Apart from the the excellent performance by the soloist, the conductor and the orchestra, the camera production is also to be highly praised. It kept the performance alive and entertaining.

So underrated! It’s sad that there are not many videos of him. Apart from the iconic Pag 5 in potato quality.

What a legend.

Magnifica interpretación en plena pandemia del Covid-19 por esta prestigiosa orquesta rusa del célebre Concierto para Violín del compositor alemán del Romanticismo F. Mendelssohn. La actuación del virtuosista violinista griego Leonidas Kavakos utilizando su Stradivarius Abergavenny del año 1724 como era de esperar es un auténtico regalo para deleite de nuestros oídos. BRAVO !!!!. Saludos desde España.

I enjoyed it a lot. They took time as their own, not just another performance in tempo with obvious slowdowns in everyone knows where moments. Beautiful

Wonderful intonation. Amazing performance. Reminds me of a young Issac Stern or Issac Pearlman.

Καταπληκτικός Καβακος!! Πολλά συγχαρητήρια!

Great conductor; wonderful connection with soloist. Bravo to the orchestra. As always, Kavakos takes my breath away, as well as my ❤.

BRAVO !

This was yesterday’s performance!!!

A superb violinist really

Fantastic ❤😂

Wow I am super excited that I have watched a concerto performed a week ago. I'm used to the 7byears ago or 23 years ago legends

I have never heard an Orchestra that good damn they are so good

The conductor is having a blast

Beautiful

Συγχαρητήρια την ορχήστρα 🎻

1734 Willemotte Strad....... ravishing!

22:23 the grand entry of the horns.... only to come in a little flat ahaha. Don't worry! They got it on the second go!

Wow! This is a really magnificent rendition of this old warhorse. I'm surprised the hall is not full to capacity. Is this Vladimir Spivakov's orchestra? I wonder.

Someone in the brass section was caught napping 🙃 22:23

Молодец Кавакос ! ! ! Так надо играть каждому скрипачу , а не водить смычок вверх- вни́з по струнам и быть ЛАУРЕАТОМ 10 международных конкурсов..........

7:30

Itzhak Perlman's performance is the best in my opinion.

E major μι Ελασσόνα συμαινει η νοτα ...

Idk know what's more astonishing, how Leonidas performed this piece or how 85% of the audience simply can't wear a mask properly....

Kavakos is very skillful technically and I like to listen his interpretatios on many occasions. Here is the different situation. This concerto if played in Kavakos way literary jumps into mysical drama right away from the first tone, out from the thin air. IMO that is unacceptable for many listeners, me included. This piece belongs to the romantic period, and that could hardly be the intention of composer. I disagree with Kavakos choice of interpretation. Simply could not listen longer then first page of scores.

Η ορχήστρα δεν έχει τύμπανα κ.λ.π περίεργο φαινόμενο
