He’s quite underrated

Please watch his classes on technique

[@lalo2626]

Excellent- Powerful yet beautiful tone, sings every note, that is some finest quality playing. Kerson Leong, remember that name..

[@emilsargsyan3885]

Surgical, yet emotional, gut wrenching performance!

[@orzoo0685]

Wow no mention in comments on that encore. That was incredible.

[@lesmenezes9784]

One of my favourite movements from Bach's solo violin . Such a fluid flowb of the "voices"

[@ericshumsky9120]

He is a modern day master!

[@anne-mariedubois5316]

I know very well this concerto, and this interpretation is remarkable, full of energy and of deep feeling. Of course, I agree that the tone is always in place. Congratulations, Kerson!

Mood: counting the measures of rest like the oboist at 35:05 #lovewhatyoudo

33:10 Favorite part of the performance 🙌

[@veidhleadoir]

I think the Khachaturian's cadenza is really awesome and dark, so I can't see the necessity to cut it.

[@brianrodney712]

The audience just couldn't help themselves and just had to applaud after the first movement.

[@violintuno]

Leong one of my favorite violinists today.
And personally, the orchestra significantly below in level, energy and character, looking at the players seems like if it was simply a gig for some of them.

orchestra sounds lost most of the time.

[@AO-iv6yr]

Good job but more mastery is needed. More bravado is needed with such pieces. Listen to Lydia Mordkovitch's playing of this (nit available on youtube) and you'll know what I'm talking about.

[@mashtali1]

why every teen likes to play this concerto?
