I don't think he's one of, I think he might be. EVERY interpretation of his I've heard is both original and also somehow, definitive.. it's like he is the reincarnation of Paganinni, Wieniasky, Vieuxtemps, Sarasate, Kreisler, Ysasaye, Heifetz, Elman, Oistrach, with the passion of Pearlman, Fire of Sarah Chang, but the technical perfection of Hillary Hahn, and musical sensibilities that are undefinable, but always on point modern and original. In short, had i not interacted with and seen him live on a zoom meeting, I would almost believe he couldn't possibly be a real person.

Cool arrangement. Leong is truly one of those rock star players, with such a unique and exciting interpretation of a classic that is supposed to be quite expressive. Most players kinda just play it the same way it has been for the last 100 years. Plus, he's a snappy dresser.

There are about a couple of billion people living in the Asian hemisphere. It is therefore no magic that a hundred or so are gifted with great talents. Koreans specifically. I have seen them strolling in the Rue de Rome in Paris, looking for the best instruments available. Mr Kerson is no exception. His play is brilliant and on tone.

That was great, had me in tension for most of the piece, goosebumps in one moment. I couldn't help noticing the body language, in the beginning in some moments you looked careless, a little bit like you thought you were too cool for this, but in truth absolutely focused and on point. Later on it turned into just looking completely relaxed and focused in some moments, I can imagine that would be a good mental place to play from. But what do I know, this is very subjective.

Wow. You added a lot of nice changes to set yourself apart from other interpretations, like to the trills, the bow speed, the dynamics, the pacing, the tempo, and so on. Nice shirt too. You know how to dress well. Someday I'll listen to you perform live in a concert hall. By the way, it sounded as if you may have missed that note at around 7:50. I couldn't help but notice it.

@violaisreallycool 2 жыл бұрын

Certainly that harmonic is quite easy to spot out so it's natural you would notice it not as present! I managed to hear it faintly but yes I think I agree. Definitely should not detract from his stellar performance, at least it isn't out of tune or a mismatch of articulation!

@tylermoore8218 2 жыл бұрын

That may be so but it is written in the violin part that it is impossible to play this piece correctly because it is called “Gypsy Airs” and could not possibly hold true to the composer’s intentions if you didn’t play more freely and with more rubato with a decent amount of respect to what’s there. Kerson does a good job of adding just enough freedom to where he can perfectly interpret it the way it was written and the way he wants to play it!

A higher vision of performing violin music on this planet ! it is absolutely interesting and fun, really! you make Sarasate absolutely fabulous and captivating. please forgive me for one remark, (because you are such a great master), so, a good conductor would create more synchronicity with this big Group of musicians. and also larger range of dynamics from the orchestra.
