lkaddicted.podb... Leonidas Kavakos playing Brahms violin Concerto with Zubin Mehta at Maggio Musicale Italy. I movement (1st cut) Best brahms on youtube!! www.intermusica...
It's incredible how clean those double stops at the beginning of the solo violin part are!! Every time I listen to this recording I discover more an more amazing technical things about this violinist. Great tone, perfect intonation, precise tempos, beautiful musicality, etc. Definitely he has to be consider one of the great violinist of the 21st century, if not the greatest. At least he's for me :)
@GKJusticar55 There is a common saying among violinist about Brahms' violin concerto: "you can tell how good the soloist is just by listening to the very first 12 measures of the violin solo part!" And in my opinion, these are the cleanest, more precise, more dramatic, more beautiful in tone, and perfectly tuned first 12 measures of the violin solo part I've ever heard in my life.
Kύριε Καβάκο, υπηρετείτε την Τέχνη σας με εντιμότητα και το αποτέλεσμα των κόπων σας θα το ζήλευαν πολλοί συνάδελφοί σας. Στην περίοδο που ζούμε, είστε από τους Έλληνες που με το έργο τους δείχνετε έναν άλλο δρόμο. Καλή συνέχεια
Short biography: Antonio Stradivari was born in Washington in 1973. He made his first violin in 1980 at the age of 7, under the supervision of his cousin, Guarnieri. His violins are now sold all around the world and you can find many on ebay. hope i helped. Bye
Ευχαριστουμε κ.Καβάκο για αυτό τον ήχο που μας προσφέρετε! Πόσο λίγες φορές στη Μας ακούμε τέτοιον ήχο απο ένα βιολί? Και για όσους αναρωτιούνται για το βιολί , σίγουρα παίζει το ρόλο του , αλλά είναι τα δάχτυλα , η ψυχή και η δουλειά που έριξε ο καλλιτέχνης υπεύθυνα για τον ήχο αυτόν!!
I'm pretty positive that this piece represents neither technical nor musical difficulty to Mr. Kavakos. His technique is just superior to any living violinist.
@BestAmateurViolinist don't pretend the expert because there maybe someone that knows! This is the Falmouth 1691 Strad. Kavakos perchased for first time the "Turin Guadagnini 1780" in 2008 and performed with it for first time in Rheingau, Budapest. Watch Kavakos playing Dvorak, this one is the Guadagnini
pastrocchio90: so funny. U have been VERY helpful...I guess I cannot find a good violin like this on Ebay ever ! If you happen to find one, let me know and I will buy it from you ! hahaha :)
He's not wrong technically with his right hand. His right hand just looks different because he's left-handed, and it should be kind of difficult for him to use the bow with the this arm. But watch out! Kavakos is more correct technically than Oistrakh and Heifetz. He's almost flawless. And when I say technically more correct I mean to play the right thing at the right moment with the right tempo,rhythm, and intonation, regardless style.
"His interpretation and sound rival Oistrakh's..." As much as his wrong (technically) right hand allows him. Anyway, I agree, that Kavakos is excellent violinist, with excellent sound. But he is a bit too free in his interpretations to my opinion. E.g., I don't like the way he plays at 5:40 . Probably, I am mistaken.
There is no strict definition of what is 'right thing' - even for the case of intonation, not to say about sound and other things. At list, that opinion is expressed in PhD dissertation of Yuri Yankelevich - teacher of Viktor Tretyakov, Vladimir Spivakov and other famous violinists. His Brahms to my opinon is not reaching the level of understanding and of expression as that by Oistrakh.

Why, why is this man not respected like one of the greatest violonists we have?
this performace raises the bar for any violinist...
Kavakos is the best among the best. Almost flawless. Long live Kavakos!

He started on the 20th
He is in fact one of the greatest.

mickle rabin and leonidas kavakos are incredable

Fantastic!!!!!!..
Au dela du super Strad qu'il a, c'est un super musicien et un super violoniste et mon oncle Zubin l'accompagne à merveille.
Marc Tettiravou
Great performance. Does anyone know the maker of the soloist's violin? It sounds so beautiful.
I herd him life ! ! ! he played brahms and then Ysaye no 4 ! ! !
I TOTALLY agree!!!!
a grate violonist
I think he is the best greek violinist today.

its a new maker.His name is Antony Stradivar :D
what's the name of the orchestra??? also is there any problem with the recording at 5:48 ??
Why does he plays the whole time sul tasto? Greek school?
questa orchestra dovrebbe essere di RAI, no? Sa qualcuno dove era questo concerto? (citta)
grande pierini spalla!
@fullargon And why's that?
@BestAmateurViolinist you're trolling right?
At least, 1-st part. 3-d part is probably at the level of Oistrakh
"His interpretation and sound rival Oistrakh's..."
As much as his wrong (technically) right hand allows him.

Very funny! But the violin sounds good any way hahaha
que mal sonido de la grabacion,Kavakos Top 1
