Kavakos’s sound is intense, silken, mercurial – a modern, characterful performance aware of history, playful in its ornamentation, but without exaggeration. The recording is spacious and resonant…There are as many ways to perform this music as there are top violinists…but Kavakos’s fire and grace take some beating.
