  • who the hell is giving ray all these 3s and 4s for ratings??

  • I wonder if this is his own cadenza? Excuse my ignorance if I'm wrong, but it's certainly nothing I've ever heard.

  • @A4440HZ It's his own, according to the description.

  • the cadenza reminds me of beethoven's violin concerto, except for the double stops, and the trills. All in all, it doesn't belong really. But overall, a fabulous intrepretation

  • @iralee3c

    Because that's how the concerto was played many years ago. If you look at the score (both to this and the other four concerti), you'll notice that until the solo comes in, the solo violin line doubles the first violin part.

  • Why is he playing the introduction?

  • I LOVE THE FACIAL EXPRESSIONS HE MAKES WHEN HE PLAYS! XD

  • the cadenza is ridiculous , but i appreciate that he tried .

  • @theviolinchaneel...

    it says queen elisabeth violin competiton... did he win?

  • when the guy does the same thing another guy does apparently its now called imitating. cmon hes doing it the exact same reason why vengerovs doing not cuz he wants to imitate him. holy crap grow up and stop thinking like a total bitch

  • I think this is exactly how Mozart would play it

  • I like everything but the cadenza. Nothing to do with the rest of the concerto and certainly nothing to do with Mozart.
