Rabin, Heifetz, Szeryng, and Kogan were the greatest violinists I ever heard, somehow they stood out a little more than everyone else for some reason. I found out a long time ago how hard Kogan's recordings are to find, and I have been collecting them ever since. One day I met someone from maestronet named Hector who agreed to send me a copy of this for which I am greatful. I have never seen it for sale ever and I have been collecting violin music for a long time.

I think the best thing Kogan ever did was the Tchaikovsky concerto from a double cd called "Artist Profile", it is out of print but well worth finding and if you ever get a chance to hear Kogan play the Tchaikovsky get it at all costs. Only Rabin equaled what Kogan did with the Tchaikovsky in my opinion.

I have uploaded rare out of print and unreleased recordings that are difficult to find, I hope you like them.

Since they are so difficult to find no one should mind me uploading them, if you have issues with me uploading them please send me a message and I will remove them.

  • After repeatetly compare the two masters' work : Kogan's has much more clearity even stacado, has more dynamics ( even picking and whisleing)power(Paganini's strong charactor) plus a tremendas finishing.Althrough Heifez got 20 times more viewers. My heart go to Kogan, a twenty time under rated virtuoso

  • @sjymusic1 You have to keep in mind that Kogan favors using 4 steel strings, which when compared to Gut, has much more clarity and faster response but lack of overtones.
