podria escuchar esta grabacion mil veces

This is Fritz Kreisler's arrangement, which gives the piece a major ending.

To: @ffflipsnake , you wrote: "... he looks like he hates life when he's playing.
Funny, I'd be smiling all the time if I had a tiny fraction of his skill."
Well, how can we really know what unbearable burdens of life anyone else is carrying, even while
they go about their business, making great music (in the literal or figurative sense).

@crazy77town What you say is interesting, I will try to listen to Szeryng the way you do. (I love Kogan though I am not a musician, so I couldn't describe precisely what I like so much about him)
-
@eliasvichy different opinions are always acceptable, especially in music! This is always a matter of taste, for me Szeryng is getting deeper in the feeling of the first theme and in the second theme plays more in a dancing mood than kogan, which is all about in the hungarian DANCES...
cheers

I just listened to Szeryng (that I discovered thanks to you) ; I disagree with your comment, I find Kogan's "version" more delicate and subtle.
-
kogan was a great violonist, but in this dance nothing competes Szeryng's edition

I adore his facial expressions



kogan is one of (if not my all time) fav soloists. his technique and emotionality are beyond question.
i think soloists at his time just didnt do such exaggerated facial expressions. but listen w your ears and not watch with your eyes!

Personally I admire very much his playing, particularly his sound and his musical integrity. One of the best violinists ever.
