A very good performance by Kavakos as well as the orchestra. To those who are tinged by Kavokos's turning to the orchestra, I believe he is simply encouraging the audience to pay attention to the orchestra instead of him when he is not soloing. It is, after all, a concerto, not a solo recital; so they have equal billing. The third movement was especially exciting to listen to and watch. It's the show-stopper of the concerto, of course. Great tempo. Kavakos' passionate playing was thrilling, and I enjoyed his improvised flourishes during the first return of the initial theme. I think I'll replay it! And I did, and it was a lot of fun.
I got to watch Leonidas Kavakos perform with the illustrious Yuja Wang last year in San Diego. I quickly surmised that Leonidas Kavakos was a modern-day Paganini. His brilliance and talent show in this concerto.
you said it! I’ve been looking for an opening to this piece that I like, most of them I listened to feel like the first note could be held longer and have more “weight” on the double stops but this one is great
The Swedish conductor Herbert Blomstedt was born 11 July 1927 . So if this performance was made this year as indicated in the info, he was then 94, almost 95 yo at the time.
As everybody is commenting on anyone fiddling here on TH-cam GREAT JOB: are there no weaknesses, no poor players anymore? Has all criticism deteriorated to negative mental health? Or is all just one standard: GREAT? You can’t say that this performance was flawless but I’d be ridiculous to criticise technique (though many seem so embarrassed by failure).
I really like this interpretation that emphasizes the classical qualities of Brahms. The question that lingered in my mind the whole time was, why would an apparently right-handed guy wear his prayer beads on his right wrist.
@@gillmcclare9161now I understand why Kavakos has one of the most significant bow arms around.... his tone production is right centric.... and his left hand is so so so secure...... he shares an awkwardness in appearance with Leonid Kogan...... where there is none in reality😊
@@leonardoiglesias2394 I got my violin a few weeks ago and I’m learning to read little by little every day. Been playing guitar 17 years basically exclusively by ear and looking at tablature if I ever needed help. Do they just add a lot that wasn’t originally intended?
First things first: Competent player???!!! He is one of the greatest violinists alive. Yes Hilary Hahn's interpretation is my favorite of Brahms' violin concerto, but kavakos is far from only competent as I said earlier, he is one of the best violinists alive. Second: Too slow? His interpretation is only 1 or 2 minutes slower that Hilary Hahn's. I love Hilary Hahn's playing and I do agree that she is probably the best LIVING violinist, but apart from that, your comment is pure nonsense.

Ah ja. You let your hair grow and everybody will say: Oh Paganini!!!!!
Very original thought.
@@leonardoiglesias2394 Oh, you're so witty...not.
A volte si dicono cose che non hanno molto senso… nessuno di noi ha mai potuto ascoltare come suonava Paganini.
Simply marvelous
I really liked the opening lines of the violin solo. Emphatic, in tune, but not rushed. Hard to do. He did it very very well.

Bravo à l orchestre et au maestro KOVAKOS 👍❤️
Du magnifique violon !!très bel orchestre et grand chef ,tout cela est magnifique .
You are just too critical.
Best living violinist, hands down. His articulation and energy makes me think of Heifetz to a degree, although they are not the same either.
Grazie ❤ Splendido.
Não existe perfeição na face da terra, mas esta interpretação chega bem perto.

Really unbelievable.
Just 94, according the information given by Javier, below, in Spanish.
He's 94 here? That's insane
Il migliore!
BRAVO !
Que c'est beau!!!!
BRAAAVOOOOOOO!!!!!
Bellísimo!!! Muchas gracias por compartirlo!!
El concierto fue el 16 de octubre de 2021 en Tokyo.
Good job! 🎶👏👏
Děkuji mockrát za nádherný hudebni zážitek!
32:22 - I was worried that Master Kavakos would hit the other strings with his fourth finger (a la trill) when he did that very wide vibrato!
3. Allegro giocoso, ma non troppo vivace - Poco più presto 33:11
Grandissimo M° Kavakos

Kavakos is actually left handed but had to learn to play the violin right handed as a very young child.
Thanks

Get the score and read what is written. You all will be surprised.
😂😂😂😂😂
I can't read it yet, what's different?
@@MD-zm6sn you have to be able to read music….otherwise, enjoy the performance.

@@MD-zm6sn not really. And not THEY. Only SHE.
3:47 what's going...?
2:49
is this the original cadenza?
Yes
NHK STANDS FOR WHAT, pls anybody
What's the silly turn at 35:17?
It's called "spur of the moment"
@@musicalme27don't hear that turn of phrase much these days, good on you.
Estudem bem, pra não sairem catando Kavacos...
What are you saying?
Tempo too slow Kavakos is competent player but not a Heifitz.. Hillary Hahn is by far the greatest living violinist.
Competent??? Are you Hillary Hahn's publicity agent? Or a relative of hers? She is no way the greatest living violinist.
First things first: Competent player???!!! He is one of the greatest violinists alive. Yes Hilary Hahn's interpretation is my favorite of Brahms' violin concerto, but kavakos is far from only competent as I said earlier, he is one of the best violinists alive.

This new thing of the soloist staring at the orchestra in tutti sections is ridiculous and pompous. Turn around and face the orchestra.
Soloist is part of the orchestra. He was looking at his teammates. Stop the nonsense !!
Wonderful, only if he didn't turn his back to the audience every now and then...
