Kogan plays Schubert's Fantasy (1/3)

[darkblueangel1956]

Leonid Kogan, porge su un piatto di platino e brillanti lo stile poetico e intimo di Franz Schubert, grazie alle sue miracolose doti tecniche, musicali e artistiche, ormai patrimonio dell'Umanità. Incantevole fino a essere ipnotica, tanta splendida e luminosa Arte interpretativa !!! Confesso di essere emotivamente coinvolto !!!

[kooltique]

these are all great masters, anyone of which can make me cry. I just sit back and enjoy..I love them all

[mariusfelix]

@kooltique By farest the biggest master is Schubert...

[oistrakh19081974]

Could you post oistrakh/bauer 's? Please, please, please¡¡¡¡¡

[mrgolftennisviolin]

For all you haters out there... Stop hating. This is incredible.

Leonid Kogan is very good in this Schubert Fantasy in C based on the great song Sei Mir Gegrusst. Another very good recent performance is by a young man named Kamron with pianist Eduard Laurel 2009. This work has great variety, and different speeds and emphasis bring out different aspects. Commentators should not be too critical and opinionated about varied personal styles. I say for Schubert the more performers and listeners the merrier.

what happens at 3:48 ?

[dziady1]

Ovrutsky is the one to hear in

this work .

[MrFullService]

@dziady1

I agree with you. Ovrutsky is amazing in the Schubert Fantasy. However, the youtube recording is only the first third.

[schopenhauereanpoet]

Thank you so much for sharing such beauty by uploading these rare recordings. This is one of my favourite Schubert pieces and Kogan is one of my favourite violinists! Made my day.

[Jan2ek]

No sense of mystery -very straight forward playing

with limited imagination - piano is 2nd. rate, of no help

Quite boring - -violin playing of slash and dash

and take no prisoners school -totally unmusical

Makes you want not to hear this beautiful work again .

[madaboutvoice]

Fair enough if you find it so, but maybe you can tell us which performance has all the qualities that you find lacking here?

The first time I ever heard this work was by Oistrach/Bauer and it still is my favorite. But maybe you know of better one(s)?

@madaboutvoice

I did'nt hear the Fantasy by Oistrach but Joseph Szigeti's version I think is the Best!!

Although I love Kogan, I do agree with you here. The Schubert Fantasy is,,well,,just that, a Fantasy. This performance isn't very early romantic "fantasy" like. I prefer the Oistrakh/Bauer performance. I also really DO NOT LIKE at all the 1968 rushed, abridged, hacked apart Heifetz/Smith recording. That one makes this sound great!

[calloffthedogs]

such negativity! Quite misplaced.

[jaschenski]

Even Heifetz makes this piece sound like an obstacle course challenge, but I really think Kogan's rendition has far more poise.

[JorPove]

Excelsa interpretacion de dos maestros sobre una pieza de extraordinario dinamismo y belleza.

[OriginalMoonbeam]

as always a well thought out and beautiful presentation...

[calloffthedogs]

just love it! I too believe that Schubert is very difficult to play convincingly. This is a very convincing performance by a grand master. Mytnik is no slouch either.
