Kogan Plays Paganini Caprice 4

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.

May be the greatest single recording of #4 ever. Intonation is mind blowing.

[@digitalpatrick]

And his Phrasing. My god.

[@diegeigergarnele7975]

Also the sound. We've been fed way too many perfect and super fast renditions of this magnificient caprice. At this point any other recording only gives me anxiety

@@diegeigergarnele7975 yes those lower neighbors in 10ths, two to a bow, he sings all of them (like mm. 49 and 70-73)

[@mbradley5683]

@@orangebetsy yes, we are witnessing what Paganini caprice 4 sounded like before it became an elite Olympic sport Like the 100 yard dash

How nice to finally hear that someone as great as Kogan takes the middle section at a pleasant tempo.

[@iliasilias5262]

exactly!

[@cbernz]

Yes. He plays it in one tempo, as it is written in the music

[@diegeigergarnele7975]

Kogan is and always will be for me the example of perfect technique. Nobody else even come close to his perfection. You can disagree with his artistic choices but on paganini he's unmatched.
Solid gorgeous sound and rock solid left hand make his musicality something that comes as naturally as water from a mountain.
For any young violinist (such as me) aspiring to play this caprice this recording is a treasure and an inspiration on how to make simply music, without faces and weird movements, just rock solid thecnique and raw passion.

I totally agree with what you're saying. I think Ms. Hilary Hahn is the other violinist I think of in this way in regards to perfect technique. Both Hahn and Kogan have a "laser beam" type sound which comes from their similar technique- completely saturated with sound and resonance.

Honesty, purity and dignity in every note. No rushing and showing off. Just honest, clean brilliant and artistic performance. Not just a caprice, but a piece of beautiful music that you can't help but enjoy every second of it. Humble, tough and highest standard artist he was! Thank you for posting!

[@MarlowStardust]

Unbelievable, no words to describe the sound, the purity, the emotions, everything... amazing...

[@TheTMAMA]

Love Caprice 4!! Thanks for sharing.

[@guidc]

Paganini would've blushed

[@esparta23]

[@slimbullet96]

I wondered why Kogan changed classical music.
