Leonidas Kavakos
Leonidas Kavakos
Mozart Violin Concerto No. 3 in G major, K. 216
Brahms Symphony No. 4 in E minor, Op. 98
Leonidas Kavakos conductor/violin
Leonidas Kavakos joins the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra as both conductor and soloist. To open his concert at the Sheldonian Theatre, Kavakos directs the most intimate and adventurous of Mozart’s violin concertos from the violin before laying down his instrument for Brahms’s culminating work as an orchestral composer. In his final symphony, Brahms poured new wine into old glasses in the most stylish manner imaginable, creating a symphony obsessed with old musical forms that emerges as fresh, virile and emotionally authentic. Kavakos’s own expertise with the masters of classicism is bound to deliver something special in Brahms’s glowing symphony of rebirth and renewal.
