"You expect Frank Sinatra to sing this sort of music, these sorts of harmony changes. But it’s a Prokofiev Violin Concerto." - violinist Pekka Kuusisto on Prokofiev's First Violin Concerto
Pekka Kuusisto takes a very personal look at Prokofiev's light-filled First Violin Concerto, which he performed with the Philharmonia Orchestra, conducted by Vladimir Ashkenazy in May 2018.

Pekka Kuusisto is really WONDERFUL, as an artist and as a human being!!!!

My high-school girlfriend, who was a violinist, played me an LP of this piece about 60 years ago. It is one of the most romantic works I've ever heard. I love the way Kuusisto plays the opening melody, so quietly; maybe the best start of this piece I've ever heard.

This has got to be one of the most insightful and enjoyable videos I've ever seen! I loved it!! The Prokofiev #1 is indeed a "perfect" violin concerto. It's one of my favorites. I'm especially attached to Nathan Milstein's interpretation. I wish more great violinists would perform it. It seems Prokofiev #2 gets much more air time (yes, the 2nd movement is unbelievably beautiful). Thank you Mr. Kuusisto for sharing your thoughts on this great masterpiece.

Fantastic violinist! I love all of his concerto/musical analogies and the way he can convey exactly what is in his mind. Wow... I so wish I could experience this concert live

Gosh, I love Pekka. He's a wonderful violinist who has a great love for the music he plays, but also references Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys...awesome! And loved the car crashes on EuroSport LOL!

Yeah, Pekka is the whole package… ☺️💛

This piece is so emotional as so many Prokoviev pieces. The soloist produces a beautiful sound with every bow stroke. I can only hope to play at this level of emotional intensity.

What a charming and insightful analysis! I've never heard this piece and am anxious to hear it now.

What an incredible artist!! I find amazing that he has a full undertsanding of the harmony behind the melodic lines that he is playing 🙏

Believe it or not but, I listen to this concerto every single day. It wakes me in the morning and it plays me to sleep every single night and I listen to it all day long in the car driving about. It would be an understatement to say that I adore it!. With reference to Oistrach, I would imagine that Prokofiev gave him a degree of artistic licence as it was written very much for him. Personally I would not choose his interpretation.

I'm curious which recording(s) you listen to so often. My favorite is the old Szigeti/Beecham recording, which was the first I even encountered, but the dated sound makes it less enjoyable in the car.

This sort of video is marvellous. Fantastic to hear such in-depth perspective from soloists and conductors. Just a shame I missed the concert!

Pekka Kuusisto is back with us on 30 May at Royal Festival Hall in London if you are around! www.philharmonia.co.uk/concerts/2172

An amazing piece performed by an amazing soloist and orchestra! Could someone elaborate further on his peculiar bow hold? It has always intrigued me since I have not seen a grip so high up the bow.
