Deep concern, quest, and achievement of pure bliss, all were expressed when Leonid Yanovskiy performed the Johannes Brahms Sonata for Violin and Piano (No.1). His was the combination of beautifully accomplished, expressive sound and intelligent interpretation.

Schubert’s String Quintet, in a luminous performance… Many chamber music fans regard the Schubert quintet as the most exquisite work in the classical canon… The festival players — Eriko Sato and Leonid Yanovskiy, violinists; Veronica Salas, violist; Mr. Rath and Amy Kang, cellists — treated it royally, with a sumptuous, vibrato-rich tone and a kind of energy that made its fast movements dance.

Brilliant success… Effective program… Refined musical taste…
Russian Musician, Moscow, March 2005
Yanovskiy… has made a name for himself as a soloist and a chamber musician, with concert credits all over the world. Played with finesse and sensitive touch.
Denton Record Chronicle, September 5, 2004
The night was a showcase of extraordinary talent. Yanovskiy’s… exquisite rendering of the andante, especially, in the (Mozart) “Sinfonia Concertante” was proof beyond measure.

Felix Mendelsson’s “Concerto in E Minor for Violin, op. 64,” was the evening’s centerpiece, and rightly. Performing in celebration of his tenth year with the orchestra, Yanovskiy left no doubt to whom the piece belongs. His playing, as always, defined integrity and mastery of his instrument, enhanced on this occasion by an ease… both obvious and — for the audience — especially rewarding.
