Kavakos plays Tchaikovsky

If you're looking for a place where traditional concert etiquette is staunchly observed, then Amsterdam's Concertgebouw is generally a good example. So you have to imagine that a performance was particularly good to inspire a Concertgebouw audience to applaud lustily between movements of a concerto. Hear what inspired this outbreak of enthusiasm when Leonidas Kavakos plays Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto with Jaap van Zweden and the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic.
