  • Well I do have the other movements but I did not publish them. I suppose I could ...

  • Kogan is one of the truly great violinists, but in all honesty the pianist is too retiring here; the Brahms Sonatas are equal collaborations, with the piano often taking the lead.

  • Andrei Mytnik is not a bad pianist at all. Although I can understand what you are saying, it is true that sometimes it seems that we are listening to an accompaniment and not to an equal part it seems to me that this was a voluntary interpretation of the pianist rather then just a "retreat" :-)

  • Sorry for the confusion to all of you who commented. I got the name wrong on the info box and I did not realize it. The name of the violinist is Leonid Kogan, IMHO one of the most beautiful violin sounds of the 20th century. Pavel Kogan as stated is the son of Leonid, he also plays and conducts but it is not him who is playing . Sorry for the mess ! ! About Vladimir it is not that I think that all Russians are called Vladimir but I do not have the faintest idea were I got that name :-) :-)

  • I would love to hear the other movements of this, could you please upload them? I'm planning to play this sonata for my senior recital :) I love Kogan's interpretations. Thanks!

  • Please publish. I remember at a master class a teacher sad to a student (who played the second movement: "From ashes" - and it was enough to explain the feeling.

  • This is a remarkable performance--endearing, sensitive and extremely moving. i find Kogan to be the finest chamber musician of all the famous 20th century Russian virtuosi.

    Are the other movements available fmhv?

  • I believe it is Leonid Kogan (not Vladimir), on the basis of the sound.

    L. Kogan had excellent weight and technique in his bow hand, and also used steel strings, which produce a brighter, more powerful sound (as opposed to warm and/or sweet). This definately sounds like him.

    Plus, he is the only violinist named Kogan that I know of, and could find a record of.

  • Kogan and Oistrakh. What a cracks!!

  • I am sorry :did you mean Leonid Kigan?
