30、e have been many great violinists but none could hold a candle to Kuznetsov, a miraculous young Russian.

When he performs with the English Chamber Orchestra, it will be as both soloist(独奏者) and conductor. “Its something Ive often thought about,” he says.Other musicians who have traded the bow or piano for the baton(指挥棒) have failed; the transition is not easy, of which he
32、is aware. “The most crucial thing is the human chemistry between conductor and players.

I still feel every time I go on stage as though Im new
37、born.”Kuznetsov cautiously paces his own development. He didnt give his first performance of Beethovens Violin Concerto until he felt ready for it, and hell let Bachs works stay in his mind for some years.One of Kuznetsovs admirers wonders whether he is in danger of not hanging onto “the fearlessnes

43、 stage, I bowed so deeply and so long that the audience laughed-but I knew that this was what great artists always did. I felt it was an honour for the audience to listen to me.” His programme that day included Paganini variations, “which were very easy for me”.(当我走上舞台,深深鞠了一躬,鞠了很长时间,观众们都笑了但我知道,伟大的艺术
