Leonidas Kavakos, the “exceptional violinist” (Daily Mail) follows his spectacular Brahms Violin Concerto recording by teaming up with star pianist Yuja Wang – “a prodigious talent, with an astonishing technique” (The Guardian) for the great Brahms Violin Sonatas. Leonidas Kavakos’s third release for Decca makes a perfect supplement to his acclaimed Brahms Violin Concerto disc with Chailly.
‘It’s a long time since there was a new version of this concerto as good as this.’ Andrew Clements, The Guardian (October 2013).
‘There is a rapier-like cut-and-thrust about this performance that recalls the surging adrenaline-charge of Isaac Stern in full flight, with Kavakos emerging as the swashbuckling hero of the hour, taking all technical obstacles in his stride with soaring abandonment.‘ Julian Haylock, Sinfini (October 2013).
For the three sonatas Kavakos – an exclusive Decca artist – teams up with Wang, a former Gramophone Young Artist of the Year.
Their partnership at the 2013 Verbier Festival was much talked about (and broadcast on Medici) and they will be touring these works in April to major European cities.
The F-A-E Scherzo which Brahms contributed to a composite sonata (along with his friends Schumann and Dietrich) will be added as a bonus.
The three violin sonatas were written for Brahms’s muse in all matters violin, Joseph Joachim, who also gave the premiere of the Violin Concerto and contributed its cadenzas.
Composer: Johannes Brahms
Performer: Leonidas Kavakos, Yuja Wang
Reviews: Leonidas Kavakos and Yuja Wang approach the music in a generally understated manner, creating an intimacy that reinforces melodic connections with Brahm's Lieder. Kavakos opts for a subtle use of vibrato and a relatively limited dynamic range. His sweet tone is matched by Wang who is admirably discreet in the more richly scored writing of the Finale in the Sonata No. 3 in D minor, but also achieves a miraculously delicate touch in the "Scherzo" sections of the middle movement of No. 2 in A major. With less recourse to tempo fluctuation within movements than in many interpretations, these performances may seem restrained and almost Classical in outlook. Yet this reticence serves to give greater intensity to those few passages, such as the wonderfully noble ending to No. 1 in G major or the fiery conclusion of the Third in D minor, where both players become more expansive in expression. –Erik Levi, BBC Music Magazine
