Leonid Kogan Shostakovich Concerto 1 I

[maxhansendk]

Leonid Kogan is a fantastic violinplayer!

He and David Oistrakh are two "Giants" from the "former USSR in violin playing. But I think Menuhin and Heifetz are their equals.

The "Golden Era" had other formidable players too: Neveu, Ferras and Szeryng where marvellous! I wish I had lived to hear them perfom live.

Svetlanov is terrific

nella musica non c'è una nota che non sia essenziale, nella esecuzione e nella direzione non c'è un gesto che non sia essenziale: severa bellezza.
