This is right up there with the best performances of this incredible work. It's amazing to me that so many critics of his time considered Sibelius to be a minor composer. So much for the critics! This is the piece that set me into a lifelong love of classical music. Thank you, Jean Sibelius!
Nobody on the planet has ever played this concerto better than the young Kavakos. If you can afford only one violin album in your life, see the BIS catalogue with him and Vänskä / Lahti SO.

Sibelius has "a special feel for this work"
himself. He was the greatest composer of our
time.Or IS.

The third movement is too slow. A LOT too slow.

@Lodizodi: Tempo is relative and depends on the Hall. you don't know how the acoustic of the hall was so how do you know it was too slow?

Thank you for shearing this video.
He is my favorite violinist living today.
Excellent technique, superb interpretation.
I can't believe that he was in early 20's when this video is taken.
(I'm not talking about his appearance, although he looks quite older than his age :))
Bravo! Mr. Kavakos.
