Klare und gut artikulierte Interpretation dieses romantischen Meisterwerks im inspirierenden Tempo mit perfekt kontrollierten Töne der Violine. Die zurückgehaltene Klavierbegleitung ist auch ausgezeichnet. Einfach wunderbar!
Beautiful playing. The second movement is especially nice. I have one quibble, though. They tend to speed up whenever the music gains some intensity. For me, that robs those moments of some of their impact. But heck - it's still a wonderful interpretation and satisfies my primary test when I hear a new performance of a very familiar piece: I heard something new that made me think about the work in a different light. So --- thanks!
How about a word for the marvelous pianist in this recording? I'm not familiar with Andrei Mytnik but his performance here is sensitive and poetic, listen to the intro to the second movement(!). We forget that Brahms was after all a pianist and this is a sonata for two coequal musicians, (not to mention that the piano part is honestly probably technically considerably more difficult than the violin's).
I would ask comrade music enthusiasts to refrain from comparing and even worse - ranking musicians of the past. They all here very different individuals resonating to different tastes and states of our souls. Let us be sincere. Most of us are not able to professionally recognise subtles of violin playing. Not in technical and not in cultural - historical background. We have no moral right to rank these outstanding musicians.
Yes, Kogan is not Milstein, Szering or Oistrakh...nor Stern, Heifitz or even Elman. But he definitely stands in the pantheon of all-time greats. His technique, romanticism and interpretations are transcendent.
On the one hand you are trying to praise Leonid Kogan (he doesn’t need your praise) but at the same time you have just humiliated him and Mischa Elman with your comment.
I am really surprised of your comment. Leonid Kogan is one of the best violin players of all time. What do you mean "Kogan is not Milstein, Szering..."? You can also say "Milstein, Szering... are not Kogan".
gentlemen, you seem to forget the greatest genius of them all, Szigeti pupil: Johanna Martzy, if you have never heard of her, try TH-cam, there is a first movement video, a combination of classic serenity and romantic passion,who of the boys has achieved that sublime status? I would say: none are equal to her !
as Milstein , Szeryng or Oistrakh , you think too much , Mr.Kogan .... hey , not everybody can play like Szigeti or the greatest of all : Adolf Busch .
I love his interpretation so much.
Так здорово, что есть записи этого удивительного и непревзойденного скрипача с фантастической техникой и добрым сердцем.

Finden Sie es nicht zu schnell gespielt, besonders der 3. Satz?

I like your attitude :)
la voce del suo violino è tra le migliori di sempre
paragonabile a Váša Příhoda

You are not I, how can you presume for every one ?
Absolutely right. Thank you for your remark. I often have the same reaction for all sorts of comparisons.
Fantastic
Thank you.

Though better than anyone in this sonata
Hmm ............ and Adolf Busch ? Didn't you know him ?

my favorite is szymon goldberg for this sonata , and kogan is also fabulous with this

"the greatest genius of them all". Aren't we prone to hyperbole?
I just listened to her version....Everything is a quarter of tone high!!! Also her tone is not so refined....
as Milstein , Szeryng or Oistrakh , you think too much , Mr.Kogan .... hey , not everybody can play like Szigeti or the greatest of all : Adolf Busch .
Fritz Maisenbacher Funny that the four violinists you harshly underestimated are much more appreciated than the later two.
Johanna Martzy is the best

It's not my fault if people don't recognize reality.
