    Absolutely the best version of my favourite violin concerto. I'm upset because I've never heard it before! What an orchestra, conductor and as a fiddler myself (RPO) I have to say what a performance from Leonid! My God! I listened twice one after the other. Thank You everyone. Love from Tottenham. England and Solidarity in these dangerous times. Humanity is Universal

    Kavakos' the very best attraction comes from the posture of the BOW HAND which has changed from his young period. The FIGURA of his bow hand gained extremely utilizing all the knuckle bones as much as a human structure can project!

  • @violinhunter2
    @violinhunter2 9 лет назад +21

    Incredible, inspiring technique Kavakos has. Prokofiev probably knew the concerto would be premiered in Spain and so he inserted the castanets in the third movement. Or perhaps it's just a coincidence. He could have used any other noise maker but he didn't. Bravo!!

    Two great personality, unique musicians = brilliant world-famous Greek violinist Leonidas Kavakos and the outstanding conductor of the Mariinsky Theatre Valery Gergiev fascinated the entire Universe, millions of fans, thanks to its unique creativity. Excellent performance of Violin Concerto number 2 in G Minor, Op. 63 by Sergei Prokofiev = composer, pianist, conductor. Creativity Prokopyeva is characterized by vocal symphonic works, instrumental concertos, operas, ballets, cantatas, oratorios, symphonies, piano sonatas, etudes. With undoubted talent, unbridled fantasy, bright, glamorous, brilliant music, created real masterpieces. Excellent performance of a work by the Greek musician Leonid Kavakos. What a magnificent performance which virtuosity, what emotions, charm, passion and craftsmanship, gorgeous compelling improvisation. Wonderful orchestra with excellent musicians with perfect technique and a great game. What a pleasure to revel in the fascinating game of the great musician, my compatriot, whom I am proud of.

Според мен-единствено и само -за да затрудни Оркестъра...Т.е. -Самоцелно.Някои му казват -''да се направи на интересен''... (Никой не оспорва виртуозността на солиста, оркестъра и великият Гергиев). Can anyone explain to me-WHY Prokofiev wrote a Topic, which is obviously in 5/4-in 4/4!?! In my opinion - only and only - to make it difficult for the Orchestra ... Ie. Some say to him - "to make it interesting" ... (Nobody disputes the virtuosity of the soloist, the orchestra and the great Gergiev).

      Actually I am, and I know the concerto well (and played it). I admire Kavakos as one of the best violinist today, but he is not my favorite in this concerto. His technique his amazing, but not as creative and colorful here as others like Jansen - who again is not my favorite in everything either- Listen just to the opening phrase. Unavoidable to compare in youtube, with all these great players at the right side of the screen waiting to show their renditions...! Believe me, glamour doesn´t distract me ;)

      boring is a subjective word, and boring by comparison is even more subjective. The expression Kavakos has in the opening line is very different than Jansen's, much more subtle, subdued, and internal. it's personal preference at the end of the day, but I wouldn't diminish his interpretation by calling it boring, that's not what art is about.

      Perhaps we are too used to artists imposing their personalities and ideas on composers. Would you rather hear Kavakos playing Prokofiev, or Prokofiev being played by Kavakos? We are all secondary to the music, and in my opinion Kavakos allows Prokofiev's music to shine through and not his own ideas and ego...that is artistic integrity.

    • @muslit
      @muslit 8 лет назад +4

      It was enough to put me off for the last two movements. I am familiar with Kavakos's playing. The orchestra I play in just performed the Sibelius Concerto with a new wunderkind, Karen Su. We performed it twice, and she played it exactly the same way both times. Of course, one has to admire the technical proficiency for one so young (17), and the musical maturity will come later. But I would be hard-pressed to know any real difference, if someone asked me, between Kavakos's or Su's rendition, or Hahn's or Ehnes', for that matter, of the same concerto. It all sounds the same to me. A generic musical and technical approach to the violin dominate the scene today. Gone are the days of the Franco-Belgium School, the Italian School, the German School, Russian School, the English School. It's basically German Generic and Russian Tech. There are those who stand out: Janine Jansen, Anne-Sophie Mutter, Sergey Khatchatryan, Christian Tetzlaff - for their musicality and individual approach to the repertoire. But the younger the violinist, it seems, the more profound is the conformity.
