Kogan Plays Paganini Moses Variations

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.

I never saw a real Pagnini's video(who did?), I guess Kogan plays the music as Pagnini wanted.

I wonder why he is not more known. especially his paganini is outstanding.

In prision. One string (G) left. Boredom is agonizing, but it isn't good for nothing.

[musicperhaps]

@paganviodio indeed, the piece is written in C minor, but there is a tradition of tuning the G string up to B flat so that the piece sounds more exciting and brilliant (and of course, in E flat minor/major). I myself studied this work under a well known Russian teacher in London, and he demanded that I play it with the scordattura in B flat.

gosh im gonna play this!!!!!

[paganviodio]

sir, there is something wrogn with this recording. the recording here, is in e flat. but that piece should be in c-minor. this must be a little too high the exact pitch.... the whole piece should be a little slower i guess, in original.

[egonsky]

and it is standard....just the scale at the end he changes a bit....

[egonsky]

He is known...

[berituka]

he plays so beautiful...............

[amuntvalenciane]

love it, thanks for sharing

[tlcooper93]

@Hagrid01 It is standard. While there are other editions, its pretty common to go either way. The version I played used other strings on the last chord as well.

@variousweetie You've never seen a real Paganini video because Paganini has been dead for a long time...
