    Snapshot from a memorable concert in which I performed Avner Dorman Violin Concerto No. 2 and Mendelssohn Violin Concerto back-to-back with Boris Brott and the National Academy Orchestra. A big shoutout to Toronto Summer Music (Jonathan Crow, artistic director) for bringing us together - one of my favourite festivals in Canada.

    Hearing this interpretation is like hearing someone pronounce every word they say with impeccable clarity and without mumbling!! Can't wait to see him become one of the big time violinists :D

    If he is not the best violinist in his generation, he is top 2 violinists in the world.

    The incredible phrasing and gorgeous sound. Easily one of the greatest violinists of the century if not one of the greatest violinists ever

    When you think you heard the best rendition of this concerto you are forced to change your mind when you hear Leong. What an artist!!!!

    In this age of super child prodigies, Kerson reminds us, much like what Bach did in his lifetime, that there is simply no such thing as god-given natural power in the world of music. You learn the craft bow stroke by bow stroke, interval by interval, patiently, deliberately, for a lifetime. The old masters showed us what they could do and hid how they did it, the later prodigies learnt everything far too fast and matured far too early. Kerson presented the whole art-making process as art itself. Isn’t it much more satisfying to witness a lifetime of learning and progressing than some snapshots of still paintings? May there be more Kersons!

      I feel that he is one of the few who started out as a "prodigy" and then became true god-like in his adult life

    There is a sound quality of Kerson that so supersedes the wide sea of musicians that play this concerto! wonderful! beyond technique!

      @serafin1719 Год назад +5

      He is no comparison to him… technically both are in the highest level, but the style and musicality of Kerson is already better even at such a young age. He blows my mind.

    • @voiceofreason8606

      You might find it interesting when listening to Heifetz’s earliest recordings that, at 10, you can already tell it’s Heifetz. He would chide his students who tried to emulate him,” no copycats!” Everyone has to find their own voice. Kerson definitely has his own voice.

  • @jct35j

    The instrument you play must really be in love with you, it can finally have a voice and sing equally on all four strings; it's waited centuries for you! You are more than fabulous. Thank you.

    Kerson Leong est talentueux, prodigieux, théâtral, hypnotisant, électrisant, énergisant, rythmique et orgasmisque. I couldn' t maintain eye contact with him because it's too intense. A living legend and a genius that we must adored now.

    This is so so beautiful and sublime. Such delicate phrasing, bow control, emotional feeling, and that cadenza with the ricochet bowing wowza.

  • @WillT25
    @WillT25 11 месяцев назад

    Definitely among the top 10 violinists of the last century. His technical skill is on par with Heifetz, and musicality reaches an emotional depth that few can match.

    Honestly speaking, I did not like Mendelssohn E concerto until I heard this version. The interpretation (both Mr. Leong and the orchestra) adds a lot to the original work

    Se non fosse per le museruole che indossano gli orchestrali, sarebbe un bel concerto. È strano che non abbiano inventato qualche dispositivo che desse la parvenza di una mascherina anche agli strumentisti a fiato...ma no! Hanno ritenuto sufficiente farla indossare agli archisti, che, oltre a rappresentare la maggior parte dei musicisti in scena, sono quelli, dopo il solista (che, per motivi di scena deve avere il volto visibile) che vengono inquadrati più spesso. Se qualcuno dovesse sollevare dubbi o polemiche, gli si direbbe subito che tutti quelli che non la indossano sono "vaccinati"...e la farsa continua.
