Greek violinist Leonidas Kavakos, celebrated for his vibrant and intuitive interpretations, brings his unparalleled artistry to this exceptional programme of Johann Sebastian Bach’s violin concertos. Revered for his deep connection with Bach’s music, Kavakos has called it ‘the most perfect music ever written,’ a sentiment that comes alive in this performance.

Joined by the ApollΩn Ensemble, known for its one-per-part precision, Kavakos reveals the full depth of Bach’s compositions. With their ‘rigour and flair’ (Gramophone Magazine), they bring out the intricate counterpoint, harmonies, and dazzling virtuosity of these works, capturing the emotional range Bach wove into every note.
