Leonid Kogan was for five years the teacher of my own violin teacher. Now I understand the chance that I have with a such teacher that learnt from one of the greatest violinist of the twentieth-century...
I don't think I've ever heard a version of this with a clearer performance of rithm. Everyone gets crazy about going fast and then all the tempo becomes a mess. This one is really nice.
This man is ferocious. Such a pallet of wonderful techniques that go as far as occasionally making his violin sound like a pair of tin whistles. Then the mandolin and actual whistling. The breadth and agility of his styles are impeccable and yet totally deranged, ever so meticulously.
no, it the contrary. The curve grooves on a vinyl record add more depth to the sound in comparison with the numerical peaks on computerised recoding. Vinyl records offer more clarity on the high frequencies as well. Fr example when you listened to an orchestra on a vinyl recoding, you can feel the depth of the stage, i.e. the sound being dispersed in 3 dimensions. In other words, vinyl records reproduce sounds with greater realistic perspective.
I don't think its possible for a non-musician (and even many musicians) to fathom how difficult and advanced some of those techniques are. In some moments it seems as though he has brought Paganini back to life along with the soul of the devil in his fervent performance. Pretty fucking brilliant I must say.

Лучший советский скрипач - Леонид Коган! Слушая его и видя, как он исполняет музыкальные произведения, вспоминаешь, что "жизнь человека - борьба за его лицо" (М.Пришвин). Музыка отражается в чертах лица....создаёт их... Какое же прекрасное создание есть на Земле - Человек!
It made me cry... I never really appreciated this peice but he played it so well, it is like a different piece! It is so beautiful... I can't even describe it... So beautiful...
Даже дух захватывает и сердце останавливается от такого абсолюта.Он настолько великолепен,что уже не соревнуется ни с Паганини ,ни, даже с Богом.Он им равен...
Талант человеку даётся Богом. С Богом никто сравниться не может. Исполнение действительно потрясающее. Как играл Паганини мы не знанм, будем слушать гениального Леонида Когана. Браво маэстро!
Леонид Коган замечательный скрипач , великолепный вертуоз и нисколько не хуже самого Пагании! Он молодец! СПАСИБО ЕМУ ОГРОМНОЕ! ❤️🙏🌹🌿🌹🌿🌹🌿🌹🌿🌹🌿🌹🌿🌹🌿🌹🌿🌹🌿🌹🌿🌹🌿🌹🌿🌹🌿🌹🌿🌹🌿🌹🌿🌹🌿Всех благ Вам земных! СПАСИБО!!!
This to me is one of Paganini's best pieces. It has all of the performative and theatrical virtuosity we expect from him, but it is combined with some very sophisticated melodies in between. Kogan, of course, plays it really beautifully too!!!
Incredible. He's jumping octaves with harmonics, the whistling sounds. So he isn't even pressing the string down. He knows where to touch it. Truly gliding over the strings.
@@marikabrutyan9317 Это не техника ! Я и вы можем сколько угодно отрабатывать технику , я не пробегу сто метров быстрее 10 секунд , не напишу сонеты Шекспира , Подсолнухи Ван Гога !... Это или есть или нет ! Труд только добавка .
This is as good as the violin playing gets! Just the purity of intonation alone makes this listening worthwhile. The key to Leonid Kogan's magic is, I believe, in his fearless, earnest, and clearly articulated tone. I think that David Oistrakh achieved such consistency of tone much later in his career. Issac Stern was the one who made Oistrakh rethink his own sound production. Whereas, Kogan had always had that verve, that clarity and vibrancy which were uniquely his own and therefore absolutely irresistible.
Well said! Heifetz almost there but doesn't have the devil spirit like Kogan, everyone else fulfilled some required technique but not as flawless and expressive, BTW I have not heard any other virtuoso can do the whistle from 9:50 to 10:38 .
Для меня имя Леонида Когана неотторжимо от советской эпохи. Его ровесников выкосила война и он это всегда хранил в сердце - вот главное. Его недосягаемое сейчас искусство имеет своим основанием прежде всего божественный дар, который он развил и всем на земле дарил, прожив всего-то 58 земных лет...он был предпослан миру, как величайший дар и кому выпало лицезреть и слушать гения - пусть благодарят Бога...
When he plays each note. You can hear his clarity with every bow stroke, and the notes following after each other. Everything from really hard cadenzas to even this piece it almost seems effortless to him. You can tell he really loved playing, or I think so at least.
Kogan was one of my favourite violinists ! At the time I was a violin student at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Paris,nous avions joué toutes les Caprices de Paganini,bien sûr! I also like very much Paganini's Sonata Nr.12 Op.3!----Ursula
Is this the greatest violinist to have ever lived? What else was he capable of? This seems like cake to him(after years of practice) - but still, a lot of these techniques and notes are conceptually challenging by themselves... This is the kind of greatness to strive for, the more you reach, the closer you come.
The 4th variation just absolutely drops my jaw. I know Segovia has arranged violin pieces, but I couldn’t even imagine arranging the 4th variation like that... wow. This is just amazing to see and hear as a classical guitarist ,
Paganini probably played much worse than the top violinists of 20th and 21th century. it's not a matter of talent or gift, technique and training methods evolve. Just imagine Paganini being the first person ever to use those techniques on a violin : there wasn't any other violinist to compare his playing to. Therefore being the first to successfully master those techniques and show his skills to others automatically made him the best of his time. In our generations we have kids that are trained since they are 4 years old to master Paganini caprices and newer pieces showcasing even more advanced techniques.
To add to the comment, wrong notes and bad intonation was also more accepted in the past b/c violin soloists were not held to the same level of perfection that we have today due to violinists like Kogan, Milstein, and Heifetz. If you listen to a recording of Sarasate playing the Bach Prelude, you could hear sub-par intonation towards the end (and he was considered one of the first very precise violinists!).
Please upload more of Kogan videos. This is so beautiful no words to describe beauty if this composition and clarity of This great violinist all times.
Kogan, Heifetz, Oistrakh, Milstein,Menuin and other great violinists are who led the violin golden age in 20th century. Thank you for posting a great performance footage. It seems that there is no better Nel cor più non mi sento performance in the past or in the future. The sound of harmonics makes tears shed.
Absolutely insane composition and Kogan perfectly shows off Paganini's monstrous genius. One genius performing another genius's masterwork. Sorry for sounding redundant but this all leaves me gobsmacked! It's unfortunate that the visuals are not in perfect sync with the soundtrack. The soundtrack is a few frames behind of the visuals. Having worked on film sound editing, I just can't help myself!
After listening to this performance, along with his Carnan Fantacy -Wax. version, specially his Guitarre I am fully convinced that Heifitz and the rests are merely qualify for a great virtuoso, but L Kogan is the only messenger from Paganini. dynamic, powerful, thrilling, those personality only can be found inside of Paganini & Kogan. they get you the the goose bump.
Kogan maybe had more similarities to Paganini e.g. power, speed n the italian bow grip , while Kavakos has insane speed; he might be the faster violinist from this planet... or other, n plays the almost extinct russian grip
Kogan saw Heifetz in concert when he was young, and said never forgot a single note. It was that concert that made him want to push and be the best...or rather be like his idol. The earliest recordings of Heifetz though blows everybody away in terms of technique.

Когда соединяются три гения-Леонид Коган, Паганини и Гварнери получается что-то космическое, от чего просто сносит голову! BRAVO!
Humanity lost the greatest genius violinist of all time when we lost him. He is the greatest of the greatest artists.
I love that he's taking time just letting the piece breathe
I swear this recording gets raised by another half-step every time I come back to listen to it
You don't have perfect pitch. You're a moron.
His play comes from another galaxy, superhuman.

Kogan the consummate artist....
This man is ferocious. Such a pallet of wonderful techniques that go as far as occasionally making his violin sound like a pair of tin whistles. Then the mandolin and actual whistling. The breadth and agility of his styles are impeccable and yet totally deranged, ever so meticulously.
The vinyl distortion in the recording nicely accentuates his ridiculously perfect intonation.
It's almost annoying how good he is

He is able to make all that jumble looking notes sound so tidy that even a lay ear would enjoy it. All thanks to his unbelievably precise technique.
