  • My god... he did that live?

  • @ClassicalCurator Yes, he was alive when he played this.

  • it always will. commercialism can not kill soul. it can manipulate the mass but not the elite :)

  • There's still hope.

    I'm 16 and I love this. (:

  • @N1GGERGREMLIN dude

    as long as 1 person still listens to classical music then it will stay alive

  • we have David Garett

  • Hey people you do realize that Paganini wrote this to immitate a a very high kind of Italian Opera (which I forgot the name of) and it says Alegretto Grazioso at the top so techinically (TECHNICALLY) its a little too fast. But What can I say? It's still excellent.

  • Виртуоз от Бога! Фантастическое владение смычком! Браво!

    The virtuoso from God! Fantastic possession of a bow! Bravo!

  • I never get tired of this play

  • I think that what happens with the 2000s is that, there are so much more people than before, and so many, many talented people, that due to a number of reasons, are not given the chance to show what they are capable of doing and/or are not supported by anyone; only a minority reaches recognition. And it's sad, that there are so many talented people, and who we hear the most of is from rich kids and sluts who had nothing else to do but auto-tune their voices and pay their way to fame.

  • How can someone dislike this?!! I really don't get it

  • wow

    

  • Napster was never legal to use

  • Comment removed

  • What polish and dash! Kogan's Tschaikovsky Converto was my mainstay from the early 70's. It may still exist in a box somewhere....

  • you forgot Oistrach

  • incredible perfect!

  • nu cred ca este ceva mai frumos. Mersi!

  • Thank you for sharing all these gems with the world! You are much appreciated! This (recordings collecting) is possibly the most productive hobby ever haha

  • I always knew that Liszt transcribed a piano version from Paganini's violin version. Now I can see/hear why. Amazing

  • So amazing! I wish I could see his fingers at work in this piece

  • STRABILIANTE !!! Velocità quasi inarrivabile, tecnica senza limiti, lirismo appassionato e pieno di fuoco, dinamica ampia e luminosa !! David Oistrach, Leonid Kogan, Evgenij Mravinsky, Vladimir Sofroniski, Sergei Rachmaninov, Prokofiev, Richter, Horowitz, Gilels !!!!! Tutte stelle che, dalla Russia, hanno illuminato l'Arte e la Cultura per il resto della storia e dell'eternità sul pianeta Terra ... senza dimenticare Tolstoi, Puskin, Dostojevsky, Chekov, Gogol, Turgenev, Gorkij ... !!!!!!

  • Amazing. I love this.

  • Holy mother of Jesus, that pizz...

  • 1700s and 1800s they had mozart, bach, beethoven, vivaldi, paganini etc and the 2000's we have .....

  • @pmbazman15

    John Williams.

  • @Ragtime44Films well ya John Williams, James Horner, and Hans Zimmer all are great composers but I was talking about great violin composers. I know williams had schindlers list which is genius but nothing compared to the greats in my book.

  • @pmbazman15

    Right. I don't know if there will ever be someone as great as Mozart or Paganini or Liszt or Beethoven or any of the great composers again.

    I don't know of a great violin composer in today's time... I don't keep very good track of modern day music. John Williams was just the first thing that came to mind. But yeah, nobody today can compare to the composers all those centuries ago.

  • @pmbazman15 You are right... but at that time some of the great composers were totally ignored by pigs... (such as Mozart, Vivaldi...) sad reality. Maybe WE are ignoring great composers in our age, so let's be on guard and respect today's music, too.

  • @Oistrakhfollower This was mostly before last half of 19 century,but then up to middle of 20th (time when last number of great composers were living)most of their best music was not ignored.In time when that music was written no internet,no range of good recording devices existed but we all know their music.Now there is much more possibilities to record a music and present it to all world.But we all don't now anything comparable in last 50 years.I guess why it is so bad up to now...

  • @pmbazman15 video game composers? lol

  • @pmbazman15 We have VENGEROV!

  • @pmbazman15 We have John Williams, Danny Elfman, Nobuo Uematsu, and Yoko Shimomura, ect.

    Some of the best, modern music is found in film/video game scores.

  • @PianoOnWheels trololo

  • @dagadbm They're not of equal caliber, I know this. I took pmbazman15's comment as deriding our generation of music as a whole, so I pointed out who I thought were fairly talented musicians. I assumed incorrectly.

  • @pmbazman15 These days we have far better players so the talent has gone to playing, rather then composing.....

  • @chip35916 how can you assume that we have better players now adays when players back 200+ years ago really are not even noted? They say that paganini was the best violinist ever on the planet but when have we ever heard him play? Not doubting hes the best im just saying.

  • @pmbazman15 Jst thinkin, kos the playing itself has developed, the teaching methods, I think are now better, nd the violins have gotten better over time.... Just my thoughts lol

  • @pmbazman15 you missed out 1900's what a great time for music! in my opinion the most important century.

  • @pmbazman15

    Don't forget we just started in 2000's :)

  • @pmbazman15 I woulndn't say that we have Lang Lang, Evgeny Kissin, and Yundi Li

  • @pmbazman15 Kanye

  • @pmbazman15 Kissin, Lisitsa, Li, Tsujii, Adveeva, Sara Ott. Although the people you named were creators of great music, we still have people who put their heart and sole into interpreting their pieces. People you can watch and see the emotion that spills from their hands, face, etc. If we didn't have the greats today to carry on their legacy, we would have nothing.

  • @pmbazman15 kanye west!

  • @pmbazman15

    hans zimmer

  • @pmbazman15 we have boulez, cage, schoenberg, reich etc.

  • @pmbazman15 Beiber and other faggots.

  • @pmbazman15

    Michael Jackson? Hes like one of the very few great musicians of the 20th century.

  • @pmbazman15

    2000 : We have Ludovico Einaudi !

  • @pmbazman15 Excellent point your making!!!  Unfortunately, very few musicians that understand in the real beauty of classical music are still alive. The only thing we could do is encourage people to listening and liking classical music and understanding in the cultures that it possesses within it. Anyway thank you very much for making a great point!

    Sincerely,

    Emil & Dariel Liakhovetski

  • @pmbazman15

    Opeth? Devin Townsend? Rostropovich? (assuming we are doing 20th centuary - present)

  • @pmbazman15 John Williams?

  • @HiacyntusZoilus true. john williams plus yiruma and einaudi. :)

  • @pmbazman15

    Yeah lots of great composers such as .............

  • @pmbazman15 we have justin bieber -_-

  • @pmbazman15 We have ....YOU, giving your senseless opinions in the internet. JEWISH TV all over the world polluted and crapped on the human mind; while they sell you and rent you living spaces.

  • @pmbazman15 Tchaikovsky, Grieg, Puccini, Verdi, Leoncaballo, Shuman, Hillgard, Mendelssohn, Wagner, Brahms, Handel, Chopin, Dvorak, Sousa....

  • ingenious!

  • I LOVE this recording.

  • perfect

  • Comment removed

  • a little too rushed for my taste. but other than that, i love it.

  • Fantastic talent! It makes you proud of the human ability when natural talent and years of practice are combined. What an accomplishment!

  • Infathomably wonderful.

  • Thank you for this lovely recording. I fell in love with Kogan as a young teenager when I heard his interpretation of Mozart's 5th violin concerto. It is nice to see him get even a little bit of the attention he deserves.

  • Gotta love violin virtuosos. They're just so...virtuoistic.

  • wow! its music

  • He uses the same violin Paganini was playing on by the way.

  • I love this music. But i'm a violin player myself.

  • Kogan foi e sempre será o melhor que já teve.

  • i preffer the version played by Sir Yehudi Menuhin its very soflty deleitable sound not so grossy like this, but this is a great version too, with caracter, and virtuosism too.

  • i preffer the version played by Sir Yehudi Menuhin its very soflty deleitable sound not so grossy like this, but this is a great version too, with caracter, and virtuosism too.

  • Kogan left me speechless!!!!

  • AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHGGGG­GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG we're worth nothing!!!!!!!!!

  • it's amazinggggggggggggggggggggg

  • @fdapproved16

    Now 7 peaple are idiots...

  • i love it <3

  • Where can we can the sheet music that Kogan paly?

    Many thanks.

  • @kenhan168 It can be found at imslp[dot]org

  • @TheExarion , thanks. I checked imslp[dot]org previsouly, they don't have the exact version that Kogan played. Kogan made some variation towards the end of the piece. Many thanks.

  • @kenhan168 Oh yeah, that's true. Well, glad I could help in some way, lol.

  • @kenhan168 I think that Kogan made many changes to cadenzas an made some variations to the paganini caprices.But I don't know if you can find them anywhere.I was trying to find the variations that he did to the 24th caprice and to the Tchaikovsky vc cadenza but I didn't find anything.

  • @RollingShit1234 Unfortunately, I don't have those music too. I guess they may be in Russia but not yet upload to the internet.

  • kogan, you are a genius!

  • This particular piece and this particular rendition are ... well, there are no words. Imagine a person born completely deaf who has never had access to such beauty, and cannot even conceive it. Music is truly a gift of the Gods. It makes you wonder, though, how much more beauty might be out there yet *beyond* our five senses, that we likewise have no "access" to it, because we have not "evolved" the requisite sensory apparatus. Well, let's rejoice in what we *do* have, every day and every hour.

  • Der absolut beste Violinist. Virtuosität war bei ihm nie ein Thema. Er geht kompromisslos in musikalische Grenzbereiche (ganz im Sinne Harnoncourts) ohne Rücksicht auf eventuelle Misstöne. Absolut uneitle künstlerische Wahrhaftigkeit. Da er nie beliebig war, dafür klein, dämonisch (eine Inkarnation Paganinis - aber mit musikalischem Geist?), jüdisch, hat man ihn in seiner zu Zeit hinter den beliebigeren Meistern seiner Zeit positioniert. Aber Klasse setzt sich durch.

  • I just love it !!!!!!He is best!!!what a beautiful song!!!!

  • Hearing this piece is making me go out and buy a violin.

  • Comment removed

  • i feel like he played this piece at the tempo that liszt would have intended

  • @suyuri you mean Paganini :p niccolo paganini composed La Campanella for the violin, and then later Franz Liszt transposed (not sure if I used that word correctly) or arranged it for the piano o:

  • @suyuri Not Liszt, but Paganini. Paganini had composed La Campanella for the violin years before Lizst made the piano version.

  • Comment removed

  • @Sylvain894 la campanella is italian and it means "little bell".

  • @bikiny36 Thank you ! Your name has something pretty !

  • Comment removed

  • музыка прекрасна

  • the best la campanella!

  • That's some insane left-hand pizz. It sounds like a machine gun. I've almost never heard this kind of clarity, consistency, AND speed in the pizz before. And people are saying Kavakos' pizz are good--they should listen to THIS. I don't even hear this from Heifetz.

  • steven likes to stick remotes up his ass

  • farrout this iss crazy

  • What is the sound on the background from 0:41 to 0:42

  • Speeding wuld raise the pitch, whichisn't the case

  • this song just sounds so much better on violin than piano

  • "using napster when it was still legal to use it"

    I doubt using napster was ever legal.

  • The best interpretation of La Campanella, I'll say.

  • I hated 5:22 :|

  • @TheExarion And I hate the stupids and idiots like you......RETARD::::::

  • @jogomez1974 What makes me a retard again? >_>

  • @jogomez1974 lol @ "the stupids"

  • wow I'm impressed I had heard many versions but this one is the best ever!

  • Genial!!!la mejor version que he escuchado............

  • This sounds like its been sped up,

  • 4 peeps r jealous?

    

  • 4 people don't know how to play scales.

  • It's like Paganini wrote his music for Kogan or Kogan learned violin for Paganini.I think you can put it either way.

  • @EUStandardIdiot sorry but no one would ever even come close to what paganini could play :)

  • He makes me feel so worthless.

  • THIS WAS A LIVE RECORDING???? Jeez...

  • brilliant

  • Best EVER!!!

  • Божественно) Все слушаю и переслушиваю, будучи не в силах оторваться...шикарное исполнение

  • Божественно) Все слушаю и переслушиваю, будучи не в силах оторваться...шикарное исполнение

  • 4 people are flat-out deaf. just saying....

  • Comment removed

  • that's magic, for sure !

  • braavooo

  • Mamma mia, cosi' veloce e chiaro!!! Bellissimo suono!!!

  • I was reading the music when he played, my eyes couldn't even follow his speed...

  • Oh! Goose flesh and pure admiration!

  • kogan firing on all 4 cylinders here!

  • The four who don't like are making a big mistake : how can you dislike this ! seriously !

  • OMG MULTIPLE EARGASMS!!!!!!!!!

  • Wow - the eargasm I had just experienced was more intense than Heifetz' rendition. (Though, not actually SAYING that I did not liked Heifetz, I actually love it very much.) Actually, I never find any of Kogan's physical features as attractive but I am quite sure that he's captured a lot of woman's hearts while playing the Stradivarius. :-)

  • that left hand pizz is insane!

  • i guess he would be the best person to play this right after paganini himself. Kogan has this wickedness in his articulation that makes walking on thin ice look easy.

  • W-o-w!!! His skill, musicianship and instrument produce such a clear, precise and exceptional sound, both vivacious and intriguing. The Russians have produced such extraordinary musicians and writers. Hopefully, one day they will get their policitcal and economic house in order

  • This is... brilliant. I cannot believe that anyone could play with this level of skill and dexterity.

  • Wow, thank you so much for posting!

  • speed demon!

  • Only 2 people missed the thumbs up button out of 485!!

  • i like it!! (#^O^#)/

  • I have learned the Accolay, Mozart 3, Symphonie Espagnole (Lalo), Mendelssohn, and Mozart 5 (in order). I have played for only 4 years. What do you suggest next? I am interested in Vieuxtempts 4/5,Saintsaens 3, and Barber, etc. What do you suggest?

  • @lezare2012 Vieuxtemps / Wieniawski 2

  • is he or Heifetz better ?? I am curious ......

  • I vote for Kogan.He had better sound.

  • @gcaee It depends on the song being played, sometimes I like Heifetz more, and other times Kogan; and sometimes they're equal. Their technical abilities are pretty much equal but I like Kogan more than Heifetz.

  • Kogan = Paganini

  • WOW. The two people who dislike this are idiots...

  • @fdapproved16

    agree 100%

    just I saw this.. "rating".

    Bravo Kogan!

    Thanks for uploading rareviolin!

  • @fdapproved16 make them 5

  • @fdapproved16 No son idiotas, solo son de gustos, desabridos y populares.

  • @Camilott1 totalmente de acuerdo contigo muy populares y sin pisca de buen gusto.KOGAN ES SIMPLEMENTE MARAVILLOSO!

  • @fdapproved16 Some people just don't share your taste, you have no right to call them dolts for that.

  • @soulfox40 we have all the right to call them idiots, i dont care if they dont share my taste...

  • @jesusvalles54 Reread. I specifically said "That does not give you the right", not "You do not have the right". Of course you have the right to call them idiots, you're just going to make a fool of yourself in the process, which is okay with me so long as I know what you're actually aiming to do.

  • @soulfox40 so much for the:``i specifically said`` of yours c`mon admit you are a bit confused about what you are writing.it`s not like we cant see your comment history... O_o

  • @fdapproved16 their now 8 ((((, as many idiots in the world ((( thanks of record:)

  • so fast it's almost, again is say, almost, not fun to listen to

    amazing

  • It cannot be true. I can't believe my ears.

    And I thought Accardo's Paganini was difficult.

    I'll sell my violin. Anybody interested?

    I'm buying a harmonica :(

  • thanx for share

  • I'm now playing a simple version of this song and I already think it is hard!

    He plays the normal version as if it is simple

  • unbelievable command. very rare indeed, thanks for sharing.

  • my heart literally skipped a beat for this amazing performance. every second is priceless, my heart just keep on pounding...

  • I wonder if its because of the violin or the string he uses but the sound is very full and "punchy"...Better than those "thin" sounding violins.

  • Franz Liszt composed La campanella not Paganini

  • @rablo46 Paganini wrote it, Liszt based an etude for piano on it

  • His technique is impeccable, but definitely has substance and lots of flavor.

  • BRAVO

  • After I master the piano I plan on to take on the violin. But of course saying I master an instrument is like saying there is no room for improvement, when in fact, there always is...

  • The best part : 3:00 to end

  • I'm Judy playing the Mendelssohn now. I've been playing for 4 years. When can I play this!?

  • No one is holding you down. Go practice.

  • @lezare2012 You realy need to be brilliant if you ever want to play this,

    a lot of people can't play this so don't expect you can ever play this :)
