Ici, on touche le mystère, l'ambiguïté, les demi-teintes. La sonorité du violon est pure, claire et en même temps très nourrie (...), qui apprécie également la tenue de la ligne mélodique, qui lui semble infinie. Le second mouvement, doucement lyrique, et le finale, magistralement phrasé, finissent de convaincre (...), également (...) par la fusion du soliste dans l'orchestre de Segerstam. This CD, Pekka Kuusisto's début album, features the famous Sibelius Violin Concerto. Described by The Guardian as "absolutely mesmerising", Pekka Kuusisto is one of the most cutting-edge violinists of his generation who performs with the major orchestras in the world and is acclaimed for his tone, technique, infectious enthusiasm and his imaginative interpretations. He embarked on his international career in 1995 at the age of nineteen, when he became the first Finn to win the Sibelius Violin Competition, including a special prize for the best performance of the Sibelius concerto. |
