Leonidas Kavakos has established himself as a violinist and artist of rare quality, known at the highest level for his virtuosity, superb musicianship and the integrity of his playing. With his probing and analytical approach, coupled with a rare virtuosity, Kavakos brings authority and depth of expression to the great concerti of the 19th and 20th centuries that are the mainstay of his repertoire. Just like Leonidas Kavakos, the acclaimed Italian pianist Enrico Pace is a devoted chamber musician. Together, they perform a masterful complete set of the Beethoven Violin Sonatas at 2012 Salzburg Festival.
