I used to listen to this very interpretation of Kogan on my dad's old Мелодия

vinly LP - around 35 years ago - Incredible sound quality only surpassed by Kogan's extraordinay performance. Thanks for sharing this treasure.

Thank you so much for posting this. Kogan's recordings are always a real treat, not only because they are difficult to find, but because they are all fantastic.

Kogan is the true star of the Russian school of violin-playing,not Oistrakh.He embodies the Russian ideals of stoic reservation and overwhelming power.The cadenza,later in the movement,emphasizes his intergalactic mastery.He truly invigorates this concerto in that he really brings the notes to life.

He plays it like no other.He sounds like no other.He is Leonid Kogan,the master.

@emhguy Dead Boring? He's generally known for introducing the oomph into classical music! He was no Stravinsky, but listen to his predecessors like Mozart & Hayden. Whereas they were elegant, he was definately more brash & dynamic.

@emhguy I wrote that as a reaction to people who feel it's ok to mention Beethoven and Bach in one sentence (there, I did it too!). Compared with Bach's music, Beethoven's sounds tame and totally predictable, even his supposedly "wild" pieces. No, with the exception of Der Grosse Fuge, not my piece of cake. Not even when performed by Leonid Kogan, obviously the greatest violinist of the 20th century (now I'm making even MORE enemies:).

[emhguy]

@voxhunden "is it just me or is Beethoven's music really dead boring?" "What a totally overrated composer."

I think it's safe to say that it's just you since nobody else agrees.

[kocharova]

@reqon444 He was God of violin. His sounds were pure joy. Fantastic!

[kocharova]

@violinhunter2 absolutely true! He was The Best ever - to me!

gostei da performance , penso que a anna sofhie mutter se inspirou nesse cara , por que ficou bastante parecido...

[al7leaopt]

Is THIS the concert he gave two days before his death? Wikipedia says "Kogan died of a heart attack in the city of Mytishchi, while travelling by train between Moscow and Yaroslavl to a concert he was to perform with his son. Two days before, he had played the Beethoven Concerto in Vienna.

"

@johntwebbjr Beethoven will probably never be my favorite composer, but I do have to admit I was completely astonished when I heard der Grosse Fuge for the first time. Which may serve to cancel everything I wrote earlier:) (Kreutzer sonate is also among my favorites)
