“This is playing that sorts out the men from the boys. I doubt if there is more than a handful of violinists alive who can match Kavakos in the tonal variety, accuracy and speed of his harmonics, or in the deft alternation of bowing and left-hand pizzicato. In fact, I wonder if Paganini would have equaled him,” wrote Gramaphone. The Greek violinist made his Aspen debut in 2007 and now returns for a recital with the sensational pianist Daniil Trifonov.
