Title: Kavakos' Ysaye Solo Sonatas - Simply Incredible
Review: Truly a magnificent and heroic performance of the Six Solo Sonatas by Ysaye- From the first sonata, dedicated to Szigeti through those dedicated to Thibaud,Enesco,Kreisler,Crickboom and Quiroga, this artist presents a thoughtful and highly powerful reading . The technical issues are invisible to the listener as Kavakos tells the story so artfully written by Ysaye. Especially memorable are the Fugato movement of the first,the Sarabandes of the Second and Fourth. The popular Ballade is a tribute to the performer's expertise and taste-truly superb. The last two are fiendishly difficult, and Kavakos throws them off in true prize-winning fashion. This is a MUST for anyone that enjoys violin performance at the highest level of power playing,passion,and enthusiasm. The love and interpretive respect for Ysaye is clear throughout the entire program.Kavakos is not yet a household word....and he should be!
