Mr Leong is definitely underrated violinist. I don’t know why such brilliant violinist is not promoted enough by recording companies.

[@xujohn3869]

For me, Kerson Leong is the one best Violinist in this century .

[@nealeisfeldt6494]

Definitely agree !

[@fernandowanderley8269]

Yes sir

[@cael7919]

I don't think there will be much dispute on that

[@nephiburgos7929]

Me too

[@carlosperales7246]

That made me laugh

[@peterwilliams7335]

What an amazing violinist! Why isn't he popular? I think he is the best violinist in his generation. He is better than many of the ones I have heard and known before. I am so emotionally affected by the sound of his violin playing which is so dauntingly beautiful.

I have taught and played this concerto for over 50 years and I do believe this is the best and most beautiful performance of it that I have ever heard. Bravo!

have you heard sergey khachatryan's version of this? well you should!

[@johnalexander301]

Kerson is the real deal. One would think he was born with a fiddle in his hand. He looks and moves so naturally... effortless and beautiful. Such a full, rich and clear tone. A true master. Thank you!

[@KingOfNeptune_]

Man, Kerson ain't playing games, the REAL DEAL right here.

[@davidfranky1986]

Those mics so good I heard the coin like thing fell lol @ 4:09 hehehe......i really enjoy listen to this man play the intensity is emasculate makes me want bawl out and mash up something lol in my patois "gih dem Kerson"

[@elaineng7522]

For me, too: Kerson Leong is definitely one of the best violinists in our time.

This is perfect. Every single note is full of emotion.

[@eriknystrom5839]

Henri Roy OK, there were 2 or 3 small glitches.🤓

[@colinqu9784]

Fully agree！ Also his other videos, such as Kreisler's musical sketches.

[@gilbertpangyarihan8014]

Certifié intergalactique !🌹

[@herbertkronzucker8367]

This is a strong rendition of Bruch's most established work. The violin entry is particularly confidently delivered here, with superb tone production from a highly refined bow arm that truly commands the room. Kerson is a thrilling artist, mature far beyond his years, and his deeply analytical, reflective approach to the instrument is on beautiful display here. There is much excellence to be expected from this outstanding Canadian artist in the years to come.

You play much better than many famous young recording artist. You should be very famous - many recording contracts and lots of publicity.

[@laszloszajko2692]

I agree

[@leodelonix155]

Can't agree more. His sound really reminds me of Heifetz.

[@blinkkeebs]

@@leodelonix155 Exactly my friend! This is the first time I hear and I have the same feel

[@leodelonix155]

@@blinkkeebs Recommend Mr Leong's recent performance kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4azZmuDbKmDrZo , starting from 42:42 is the most frightening Der ErlKonig version I ever heard.

I will never understand how someone can give a dislike for this

[@liamnevilleviolist1809]

20:55 for the darkest tone ever produced by a violin! "This is where the Del Gesu truly roars, on the G string, however a Stradivari pales in comparison and the G string seems to lack profundity" - W.E. Hill.

[@HuyHoang-bw8lz]

Gotta give the credit to this guy.. truly outstanding

[@Zenscorner327]

It's like you're singing really well in your head and letting it be conveyed through your violin. I don't usually listen to classical music unless I'm studying. This makes me want to listen more. I can feel every note. Your musical imagination is awesome!

[@markchen5710]

this recording and james ehnes' recording re by far the best

[@rubbishcomments7269]

His contrast in opposing voices in the 2nd movement is outstanding!! Bright notes played really bright and dark notes played really dark.. dynamic control is superb!!

[@Miguel-ks2mc]

thank you for being my biggest practice inspiration lol

[@rafaelabalan9802]

This is the best violin performance that I have seen so far and that has moved me the most, his interpretation of the piece is so beautiful and expressive. He must’ve worked incredibly hard to have reached such an extreme level of mastery.

[@REMIGIOPEREIRA]

Bravo Kerson! Beautiful...mastery and full of emotion.... 🙏🙏

[@cameliaonea5589]

That s what real talent on top of enormous work and high intelligenceis. The feeling the listener gets that is right! Phrase,the musical intonation,all of that which maybe was brought by the soul and can not be gained no matter what! Wonderful!

[@neisfeldt20]

This is amazing I love the bow hold it’s just amazing I’m gonnnnaaa dddiiieeee so gooooooooood

[@akrishnaa]

Ecstasy - to listen to this genius playing this great piece!

[@fernandowanderley8269]

You have such a characteristic sound... Even if I didn't know it was you performing I could easily come to this conclusion by your playing. This is one of biggest reason why I truly admire and respect the great artist you are.

[@soo7254]

Hello Kerson, you are absolutely the world-best violinist for me! Your tone is so lovely and heart-melting especially at 16:00 ♡ Best wishes from Germany😊

I heard him live in Shenandoah, Iowa last night performing a full program of classic violin solos. His talent is phenomenal!

[@jean-philippemousnier5887]

Magnifique violoniste ! Un style, une couleur, un sens artistique incroyable. Je ne dirais pas la même chose de l'orchestre et surtout du chef qui est très moyen pour ne pas dire très "amateur".

[@Andrewdanoob]

One in a lifetime of all violinist, the true one is you.

[@pulsebright]

The sound you extract of that violin is superb. Your passion is contagious... Congratulations on a memorable performance. Of course with the backing of a great orquesta that was also magnifique!!

[@gabrielahuh8560]

His vibrato and bow control from 4:24 to 6:02 is just beyond perfection. So beautiful, sensitive, elegant...

[@chuansansiaw3767]

It is Projection technique, not vibrato at all

[@hjdAG]

Wow...........So beautiful..........

[@lydiamacdonald6917]

Wow! just wow! Absolutely love this performance. Great work!

Tu es de plus en plus génial ! Il faut dire que tu étais fort bien accompagné par ce magnifique orchestre et ce chef éblouissant,ce qui t’a permis d’avoir des ailes et d’emporter ce concerto sublime d’une façon magistrale. Mille bravos ! Et autant de mercis.

This quality of sound is a crime.

[@thomasbussen]

Absolutely amazing, possibly the best recording out there, but I just wish it was like 10 beats slower, but that’s just my preference. If it was I’d probably pass away and wouldn’t be able to exist anymore in like any reality because then it would just be way too perfect.

[@nealeisfeldt6494]

I definitely agree with xu John

[@seancreighton4393]

Great performance! I just wish there was a different conductor. He conducts so early that it confuses the orchestra and leaves them unsure of when to play. It would sound more unison with a better conductor.

[@Em-gp1yb]

I definetly feel the conductors rushing alot.

[@davidbento7441]

[@Haymitch_musi6]

Bravo

[@duggiefresh8170]

Do I detect a Zukerman influence? Sound is similar.

[@duggiefresh8170]

That is a massive compliment btw.

[@citylidamj8898]

Strong sound+rich vibrato+bow pressure (in a good way)+passionate glissando = Zukerman

[@liamneville6487]

Yes I agree, because as citylida MJ mentioned below, the solid string pressure is giving the violin a pure sound, a very intimate connection between the bow and violin that is of course essential in performance. It is a very rich sound, not that fluffy /airy sound that some young violinists [emerging artists] have due to there over-the-top bow strokes, from exaggerated movement and showmanship.

[@alexsaldarriaga8318]

I’d say he has a similar impulse-type vibrato from the Auer school and exemplified by Heifetz, Elman and Seidel. David Nadien also had this type of vibrato. It stems from the arm, but is never stiff or inflexible. He uses the meaty part of the fingers of the left hand which enhances the lush virility of his sound. But the bow is equally as important, and like the great Auer students, he uses a lot of bow and plays close to the bridge. Enough of the mechanics! Mr. Leong is a master solo violinist and artist. He deserves greater recognition. I just “discovered” him today and look forward to hearing more from him. Bravo!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@deepdark795]

@@alexsaldarriaga8318 to mention the impulse vibrato without mentioning Kreisler is a crime. Also, Leong does not do the impulse vibrato AT ALL lol...
