I came across this guy by accident, and he IS DAMNED GOOD!!!!!!!!!! His interpretation of the Mendelssohn concerto is quite different to Chloe Chua's, Brett Yang's and Ray Chen's, but I like it. Julie Gill, Glasgow, Scotland.

We love him too!

[@lara-fi4ww]

so articulate about his musical ideas! that is exactly what the classical music world needs: intelligent musicians who can talk about their craft and help other people understand why they do what they do :)

👏Bravo! Now, that's the way to play the violin: "with feeling, phrasing, vibrato and all that good stuff." 👍😊 ♫ 🎻
