Khachaturyan - Violin Concerto in D minor - p.3 - Kogan

[NOSEhow2LIV]

My favorite rending of this piece, Kogan electrisé and giving a shock to the Soston Bymphony and Monteux who, actually keep up rather well!

[markzemusic]

*drool* what a great sound!

[calloffthedogs]

Kogan's performance equals that of OIstrakh's in this wonderful concerto. A few orchestral "loose ends" at 1:36. Otherwise, a stunning account in all respects.

[calloffthedogs]

Correct me if I am wrong, but in this performance, Kogan played one of the State's Strads - a 1707 I believe. His sound changed a bit after he acquired possession of the Del Gesus.

He is by far better than Oistrakh or anybody else. Oistrakh readily admitted that Mr. Kogan was superior and there was never anybody better

[calloffthedogs]

I agree. Kogan is fabulous. Listen to his Beeth. Spring Sonato. Incredible.

[SzalonaSzymonka]

Mr. Kogan was a legend in his own lifetime. Now he has passed away, but his beautiful note-making continues to delight each new generation of humanity.

I thank Mr. Kogan for dedicating himself so fully to mastering this instrument. He has brought such joy to so many.
