"Utterly magical. A real artist of distinction. You can't get better than this."
- Classic FM
“He brings a shining and sweet tone to these works, but also taut muscularity and a sense of overall structure.”
- NPR Music
"By sculpting each phrase so inventively, Kavakos rivets your attention and at times gives the impression that he's improvising ... this is a fine modern Brahms violin concerto ..."
- ClassicsToday.com
"... (an) exceptional performance ... Riccardo Chailly and the Leipzig Gewandhaus are a glory, rich-toned but translucent and supporting violinist Leonidas Kavakos's purity of tone and inspired phrasing at every step. Kavakos's violin tone is super-refined and elegant."
- BBC Music Magazine
Leonidas Kavakos is recognised across the world as a violinist and artist of rare quality, known at the highest level for his virtuosity, superb musicianship and the integrity of his playing. This 2013 release showcases Kavakos's interpretation of the Brahms concerto with Brahms specialist Riccardo Chailly conducting the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra. Kavakos's playing here is characterized by a rare blend of analytical insight and refined virtuosic bravado. Kavakos plays the "Abergavenny" Stradivarius of 1724.
