B.Bartok 2nd Violin Concerto (1) L. Kavakos

God shave the king...

I agree, Simon Rattle does look like a F*g Like look at his face @ 4:15, looks like someone got right up near that prostate.

On a side note I'm not sure I like the way Kavakos skates over a few passage (like the start), but then that's just his interpretation that he's entitled to I guess.

hm as u can see in the title i write Bartok so its just a mistake and plus i dont know how to write hungarian but anyway thanks

Not Béla Barok
Béla Bartók the right way of writing

The conductor is Simon Rattle ...no F*g I believe

charming. yes that is a good distinction, although at sometimes he has a certain agression which comes out (in a good way of course). Stage presence may also play a part. I always got the feeling watching Oistrakh that I was seeing a true-to-life mountain of sound and weight on the stage. I really love both of them, and I'm so glad I just recently discovered Kavakos for myself.

their school of violin is completely different. completely different time periods seperate their styles, just as in composition. it may be true that oistrakh believed in the composer, but he really didn't play exactly what was written. nowadays it is required. oistrakh's demeanor also is absolutely more agressive; kavakos, is more charming. it's never to say who's better, i think theyre both fabulous.

you think so? I feel they probably do have some similarities in their approach. What do you judge to be their primary differences?

I want to marry you!

No one truly plays alike. but if someone was to compare oistrakh and kavakos, that would be ridiculous. their playing styles are complete polar opposites.

you saying no player plays like oistrakh or kavakos?

the conductor looks like a F*g

I am a fan of the russian violints,but i admit,that Mr.Kavaakos is great!!!!Bravo!!!

The intro is so beautiful

I know what you mean: David Oistrach, the perfect machine of the Industrial Revolution. Leonidas Kavakos the perfect computer of the Hitech Age. Please no more comments about "art" and such bull-S**ts . Art and Science have to be synchronized.
