Violinist wins Finnish culture award
OrchestrasOn the eve of Kalevala or Finnish Culture Day, the Finnish Cultural Foundation has granted three awards of 40,000 euros for significant cultural achievements.
This year’s recipients are the architect Benito Casagrande, the violinist and conductor Pekka Kuusisto, and the microbiologist Mirja Salkinoja-Salonen.
Great – now he can commission more nonsense which requires little technique but which is heavy on bullshit
I can understand people finding his playing controversial (personally I love it), but to suggest he has little technique seems to me indefensible, possibly even bullshit.
Moronic nonsense.
Bravo!!!!!!He brings so much joy and spontaneity to his concerts…..And he is a good conductor,too. Same as his brother,who sadly died from brain cancer last year.
Have to applaud him yet again: a violinist with the least to say still finding his own relevance.
Vibrato is a sham, long phrases are capitalistic, and tone projection belongs to those who have something to say. Keep doing what you’re doing and your government will subsidize your career.
(clap clap)
What a scam artist. What a wonderful future this art form has. Depressing
The lament of the goners…again.
