Лучший!!!! Леонид Борисович Коган!!!! Величайший скрипач с неповторимой манерой игры и звуком, тембром его прекрасного инструмента, из которого он извлекал такие Божественные звуки!!!!! Светлая память Великому Мастеру, Великому Музыканту!!!! Браво!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹👏👏👏👏👏👏
For me one of the best versions of the Mendelssohn concerto. Kogan was in his prime, his technique impeccable and he phrases with great pathos, poignancy and tenderness.
Not just that. Kogan used steel strings. This gives some extra edge to his incredible sound. And I agree with you: it beats even amazing Menuhin's rendition
Wunderschöne Interpretation dieses romantischen Konzerts mit perfekt artikulierten Töne der Solovioline und gut phrasierten Töne anderer Instrumente. Der erfahrene Maestro dirigiert das ausgezeichnete Orchester im inspirierenden Tempo mit dramatischer Dynamik. Einfach wunderbar!
LIstening to this Kogan's interpretation of this concerto for the first time (I should've listened to it much sooner!) I was actually BLOW AWAY by this performance, especially the coda of the first movement. The orchestra and the added octaves (which most violinist's don't do, but was actually written in one of the early versions of the manuscript, while Ferdinand David and Mendelssohn were still making revisions) make it such a convincing finish, only for bassoon to take us to the second movement.
What a violinist! Kogan was extraordinary. And the orchestral support by Silvestri is very good indeed. I have never heard this performance, and as every time I hear Kogan, I am bewildered by his outstanding technique, so charismatic and agile. He may have not had Oistrakh's intelligence, but was one of the greatest violinists we can hear
@@jansnauwaert1785what I mean is that, besides of being already a great technician, Oistrakh always knew how to play smartly, not too cold, nor too sentimentally either. He used to phrase superbly, getting into the music, by somehow letting the music speak by itself, and not drawing attention to himself. And never sounding detached by doing it. As always, I speak IMHO. Greetings from the land of tequila and wide eyed women.
@@MXDelfos I don't know Leonid Kogan enough to assess if he had that intelligence or not (or less than Oistrakh). He remains strangely out of the focus and public attention, compared to Oistrakh. There has to be a reason, or multiple reasons, although it's not quite clear what.
The so called intelligence of Oistrakh is actually his emptiness cleverly concealed by the technique. This absence of feeling and conviction made him a perfect and willing slave of the Soviet system that was selling him on every corner. Kogan was something different and suffered accordingly.
