The North Netherlands Orchestra conducted by Eivind Gullberg Jensen plays Strauss' Don Juan and Tchaikovsky's Second Piano Concerto with young Israeli pianist Yoav Levanon.

Yoav Levanon plays Tchaikovsky
Pianist Yoav Levanon was called "a meteor" by Le Monde. The young Israeli won a national piano championship at age five. At seven, he made his debut as a soloist with orchestras.

'A composer with whom I feel strongly connected,' Levanon told a Spanish interviewer. 'Even people who think they know nothing about music know his melodies. He speaks very directly to the listener.'

His heart remains cold and empty, until it stops beating...
