Leonid Kogan Paganini with guitarre

from the movie "Paganini"
purest and cleanest sound, pure music.

[@prasenjitdutt]

I have got totally addicted to Kogan, somehow nowadays I seldom feel like listening to anyone else. I used to be a huge Oistrakh, Szeryng and Heifetz fan, but I think I now enjoy Kogan's performances enjoy even more. His tone is outstanding and his technique is beyond perfection and he is exquisitely lyrical. Thanks to youtube users for making such gems of recordings available to the public.

I admire Leonid and Hilary equally. And above most others. And no, I don't see the anger here. What I see is utter concentration and empathy, with no regard to side issues like presentation and looks. He seems to have been able to lose himself in the music like no other could. I don't think he needed the "success" - he wanted the music. One of my few "heroes".

I'm just an amateur! At this stage after 30 years playing only by ear and when my neck permits! So I'm able now to play only the start, to memorize the whole Melodie is quite hard so by watching and listening him is the best violin lesson! Music is an endless repetition to achieve perfection! I think is a Paganini study to convey expression and emotion! No critics.. no comparisons... just enjoying!

[@OniloRamos]

Cuando escucho las piezas para violín y guitarra que compuso Paganini, puedo oír a otra parte de él, tal vez esta nunca existió y sólo esta en mi mente, pero oigo a un Paganini muy calmado, que ama los pequeños detalles de la vida, como una caminata, un vaso con agua, una sonrisa, el viento que entra por la ventana y muchas otras cosas presentes en un día normal.

[@Berlinchesmusic]

👌👌👌

[@andrestes3848]

Si escuchas los adagios de sus conciertos para violín también te darás cuenta de que era una persona romántica y calma pero intensa al mismo tiempo. Paganini era un gran compositor , de los mejores en mi opinión , lo qué pasa es que la gente se enfoca más en su virtuosismo y dejan de admirar y observar lo hermosas que eran sus melodías .

První skladba je ovšem první ze Sonatin pro housle a kytaru op.č. 2. Jedno z nejkrásnějších děl Niccolo Paganiniho. Napsal celkem 12 sonatin, jedna krásnější, než druhá. Měl by být opraven popis. Provedení zde je úchvatné. V ČR vyšly snad poprvé na desce někdy v r. 1957 - v provedení housle Karel Šroubek a kytara Zdeněk Pitter. Toto je další úchvatná nahrávka. V této skladbě jsou místa, kde je doprovod na kytaru stejně náročný, jako houslový part. Oba výkony zaslouží hluboké uznání. Děkuji za nahrávku. First part is Sonatina for violin and guitar op. 2. Paganini wrote 12 sonatinas one more beautiful than others. This si the best recording. In Czech Republic was cover at first in 1657 with violinist Karel Šroubek and guitar player Zdeněk Pitter. The guitar part was the same difficult as violin part in some places. You may repair data in titles please. I thanks very much for both soloists. And operafatale for recording also many thanks.

[@deenibeeniable]

As usual, Kogan has the amazing ability to allow me to hear the *entire* piece. I am never so seduced by his dazzling technique that I can't hear the overarching structure, as I sometimes am even with Heifetz. I don't know why this is, or if he has that effect on anyone else. But Kogan has unlocked pieces for me that no one else was able to. I remember the first time I heard him play the Sauret cadenza in the Paganini violin concerto. I'd heard others play it. But I did not really grasp the full piece, hear it as a coherent whole, in a way that was completely 3-dimensional, until I heard Kogan. I'm struggling to describe this phenomenon but it's there, & no other violinist living or dead has had this effect on me. I enjoy others & am a die-hard Heifetz fan. But Kogan is....Kogan.

[@operafatale]

Agree with you! He was a perfectionist and he had a very special 3D sound ideal that he was able to achieve through constant tweaking of fingerings and bowings. Of course he had also a great understanding of the structure of the pieces. My mother was his student and later assistant and I learned a lot about it. Yes, Kogan was unique in that sense.

[@deenibeeniable]

@@operafatale I think by 3D I mean something more figurative. With a lot of violinists I get very involved in "the moment" especially very difficult passages - and it's like that saying "can't see the forest for the trees," the larger context kind of disappears. With Kogan I'm always conscious of "the forest" as well as "the trees" - his particular mark of greatness. That Sauret cadenza - before I heard his performance I barely experienced it as music. It was just a tight-rope act by various violinists. Kogan brought the music back. For me.

It's hard to read the comments when they're littered with such hypocrisy, ignorance, and malice. Kogan was a genius of the violin. Way above everybody else...? No. As Janos Starker (R.I.P.) would say, at this level they cannot be ranked. This Heifetz followers/Kogan admirers dichotomy I see sometimes is disgusting...as if people who admire Heifetz are all rabid, mindless "fanboys". There was a reason even Kogan admired him.

[@999a0s]

kogan isn't necessarily better than any of the other masters, but he without a doubt possesses something very different, which none of the others have. if you know what i'm getting at, you know.
