Leonidas Kavakos tackles a pillar of the violin repertoire in a disc that establishes him as a concerto soloist for Decca Classics
His first concerto disc for Decca features the Brahms Violin Concerto, for which he is joined by one of the world's greatest orchestras and conductors, the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig and Riccardo Chailly.
Leonidas is also accompanied by pianist Péter Nagy for Brahms' timeless Hungarian Dances (No.s 1, 2 ,6 and 11) and Bartók's energetic Rhapsodies and Romanian Folk Dances - two great composers hugely influenced by Hungarian folk music
Richly charismatic music in superbly spirited performances by musicians who have this repertoire in their blood.
