I miss the old violin greats like Kogan especially. Don't get me wrong, today's world-renowned violnists are great and all, but they just can't compare to the old greats like Kogan.
This is the old school playing that is sadly losing out to contemporary flash. During this time, the emotional content of performing was given proper appreciation. This man is a MASTER!
I'd always thought David Oistrakh play any violin music the best. But as far as this Cantabile is concerned, Kogan is the best! I almost cry as I hear this music. It is so touching. I am in seventh heaven!
I've just listened to 20 different versions. This guy wins. He feels the passion and let's the violin sing the music's heart out. Rather than making the violin itself above that of the music. A true master musician. Towards the end he's almost in internal turmoil reigning in his talent, forcing it into the music making.
the slides, the varied vibrato speeds, the placement of the bow...all parts of the larger picture...and yet after all the preparation you just have to let it all go in a way...and make music...Kogan seems so real to me here...I think the other thing I love is the "coldness" in his face...yet what comes out of the violin does not reflect this in the least...simply wonderful playing
Aubrey, I agree wholeheartedly about Kogan's playing. However, I don't agree about the "coldness" in his face. His face reflects intense emotion. Facial coldness is the domain of Jascha Heifetz, i.e. "The great stone face" who never showed any emotion on stage except in his actual playing.
Masterful and really outstanding. He is the true seed of God. It is far superior than trading one's soul with the devil. Now having listened to this piece, go and spend your life to find anybody who can sound like this. Awesome.
Kogan was all business and no bullshit. He had solid technique and so much musicality. He had so much consistency to his approach and his overall demeanor. There’s too much razzle dazzle with a lot of modern day artists. Oh well, that’s why artists like Kogan will always be the greatest
***** Well, I myself tend to lean toward the old folks. Milstein in Baroque music, with a silvery tone and an exquisite taste. Rabin for Romantic works, with a rich, warm and sweet sound. Szeryng for Mozart, the man must have the most stable sound that I've ever heard. Oisrakh Beethoven and Kogan Brahms, or Kogan Beethoven and Oistrakh Brahms. You can't go wrong with either. Last but not least, as much Heifetz as I can get my hands on, because it's Heifetz.
This is as good as it gets. They don't make musicians like Leonid Kogan any more, unfortunately. The world in which he and others of his generation flourished is gone. But at least we have marvellous recordings such as this one as consolation.
Я вообще тоже скрипачка, и мне тоже очень нравится сам Леонид Коган Какой замечательный звук скрипки , как хорошо он передает само вот это вот чувство музыки и не слышно как меняется смычек, переливающий звук 💖🎻🎻🎻
VERY GRATEFUL to you for posting this piece:-)..LEONID KOGAN !!! has been ALWAYS one of my favourites .(BTW..seems some people just enjoy :-) putting some boring comments instead of ENJOYING !!! the GREAT VIOLINIST playing itself )
youtube is amazing. watching these videos is such a treat! thank you! originally, i thought my favorite violinist was heifetz, but then i started leaning towards oistrakh, and now i learn of kogan! love it!
+Joel Carli because it's the 21st century, where people are more interested in knowing how many times musicians got high with shit and how many things they fucked. Sadly classical musicians don't offer the shock factor[sarcasm]
+Bhaskar Mukherjee The worst part... Classical music is totally for young people. It's perfect for us.. All the emotion.. Of course it's perfect for humanity
Nowadays, it's all about looks. Just look at the recent major violin competitions... ... Luckily Kogan, Oistrakh, Heifetz and many more musicians didn't live in our times - they wouldn't even get any recording contracts with their looks.

So much passion in his playing but without the gymnastic theatrics we see today on the concert stage. Bravo Maestro🎻👏👏👏
коган велик
Exactly 😅
@@mpumelelobuthelezi413 what theatrics ?
Absolutely RIGHT!!!
what theatrics are u talking about ?
This is the old school playing that is sadly losing out to contemporary flash. During this time, the emotional content of performing was given proper appreciation. This man is a MASTER!
I think this performance of Cantabile is the best one, played perfect. Thank you Leonid, you were one of the best.
Until little Himari was born. :) Check out little Himari Yoshimura's version. I think she is the absolute best. Yes, even better than Mr. Kogan.
U still alive? ಥ‿ಥ
@@ghettoracerI disagree
@@ghettoracer Смешно!!!
I like the sound of his violin, so pure and very clear. For me Kogan is the greatest.
Для меня тоже💯❤️
Леонид Коган-единственный и неповторимый. Спасибо за видео! И комментарии чудные
El Excepcional Violinista
Leonid KOGAN , ejecuta el Cantable del Virtuoso Violinista
Nicolo Paganini , con un Fraseo y sonido de Excelencia .
Bravo
Leonid Kogan is the best. If you are a violinist, I bet just watching him will teach you everything that you don't get in music school.
I'd always thought David Oistrakh play any violin music the best. But as far as this Cantabile is concerned, Kogan is the best! I almost cry as I hear this music. It is so touching. I am in seventh heaven!
Kogan was an incredible violinist
And he will always be
@@acburton6966 You replied 14 years later lol
@@bruh7130 theres nothing funny about that
A volcano of emotion, controlled into perfection. This is - for me - the essence of music.
I've just listened to 20 different versions. This guy wins. He feels the passion and let's the violin sing the music's heart out. Rather than making the violin itself above that of the music. A true master musician. Towards the end he's almost in internal turmoil reigning in his talent, forcing it into the music making.
Totaly agreed. Kogan was a Paganini's especialist, he was the only at his time (our time!?) to play the Stradivarius from Paganini, a true legend.
@@carlosreismusic9813 he may have played it from time to time but he was not a strad guy. rather, a guarneri guy; he owned 2 guarneris
I think so !
I agree, but I really enjoyed Bell’s performance of this as well
@@vincentcsvn yeah, paganini owned the il canone guarneri, i think thats what carloreismusic means
Какое владение скрипкой!!! Потрясающе!! Он будет жить вечно, и музыка Паганини тоже!! Великолепно
去年からバイオリンを習い始めて、またクラシック音楽も聴き始めました。
その中で、レオニード・コーガンの録音に出会い、すぐに彼の演奏が大好きになりました。
彼を目標にするのは途方もなく難しく感じますが、憧れてしまいます。練習がんばろう。
Каждое Его исполнение было магией!!Завораживающее совершенство и полет души!
Щемящее чувство любви и нежности дарят нам два гения. Проходят года, а прекрасное будет жить всегда.
My favorite composer played by one of my favorite violinists... definitely no words are enough to describe the beauty in this melody
This must also be the reason that so many people are in love with this piece
One of my favorite Violinist , sincerely I love him.
I'm get you wrong. Kogan is out of this planet.
the slides, the varied vibrato speeds, the placement of the bow...all parts of the larger picture...and yet after all the preparation you just have to let it all go in a way...and make music...Kogan seems so real to me here...I think the other thing I love is the "coldness" in his face...yet what comes out of the violin does not reflect this in the least...simply wonderful playing

leonid is perfect, so clean, so prolix, he play so calm, the best of the best
The man is king of the violin. Mastery beyond anything imaginable.
Dear Master we miss you
Bravo!
I can't seem to stop myself from repetitively listening to this performance in complete adoration.
Perfect execution . The best in the world .
Comment ne pas être enchantée par un tel talent. Vous nous manquez Monsieur
Это прекрасно! Люблю Паганини! И люблю Паганини в исполнении Леонида Когана!
Masterful and really outstanding. He is the true seed of God. It is far superior than trading one's soul with the devil. Now having listened to this piece, go and spend your life to find anybody who can sound like this. Awesome.
сколько слушаю кантабеле,сколько исполняю с моей скрипачкой...не устаю...могу слушать бесконечно много..

His vibrato is so mature :) I just love it!
Merci . Vous êtes trop vite disparu Maestro. ..... vous nous manquez
What a amazing way to deliver Paganini ..perfect emotional connection with just fingers touch
Magnifique exécution! Encore un grand maître du violon!
La mejor versión, la.mas perfecta, la que trasmite el encanto de paganini
Thank you for sharing this! My violin teacher told me about him and I am so surprised to find something so old here on TH-cam :)
Kogan is my favorite!!!
+Grumbel Bumbel Interesting choices, interesting taste.
*****
Well, I myself tend to lean toward the old folks.
Milstein in Baroque music, with a silvery tone and an exquisite taste.
Rabin for Romantic works, with a rich, warm and sweet sound.
Szeryng for Mozart, the man must have the most stable sound that I've ever heard.
Oisrakh Beethoven and Kogan Brahms, or Kogan Beethoven and Oistrakh Brahms. You can't go wrong with either.
Last but not least, as much Heifetz as I can get my hands on, because it's Heifetz.
L Kogan and the violin are one unit pouring out the most expressive torrent of music and virtuosity unrivaled
The sound quality is fabulous, clear and sharp. I love this piece by Paganini. Thankyou for this video.
Her Majesty Kogan is five stars PLUS supernatural magic of touch and expression.
In EACH piece he plays.
Heart-quickening, breath-hindering, tears-inducing.
спасибо большое за такой прекрасный звук!!!!
...playing right from the heart! Absolutely one with his instrument! I keep watching this again and again... a masterpiece!
This is as good as it gets. They don't make musicians like Leonid Kogan any more, unfortunately. The world in which he and others of his generation flourished is gone. But at least we have marvellous recordings such as this one as consolation.
Благородство звука - благородство Духа! Великий, незабвенный Леонид Борисович!
Бесподобно!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Слезы на глазах.... гениально играет!!!!
God, I find my life sooooo good in moments like this, when I have the privilege of listening to such music, performed so skillfully. BEAUTIFUL
The true King of the violin
Played to perfection by one of the greats.
Потрясающее исполнение, вышибает слезу...

Какой замечательный звук скрипки , как хорошо он передает само вот это вот чувство музыки и не слышно как меняется смычек, переливающий звук

Cantabile
Exquisite ❤.
This performance is Truly Sublime .
The best interpretation ever
ВЕЛИКИЙ СКРИПАЧ РОДОМ ИЗ ВЕЛИКОЙ СТРАНЫ СССР таких нет и нге будет.
Fell in love with this the moment I heard the first note.
Simply the best, without any other words. Really explains the meaning of the word ,,Cantabile''
There are many “violin gods” during the violin Golden Age, but Kogan is no doubt sitting on the very top of the pantheon.👍👍👍👍👍
This is the best!!!!❤
VERY GRATEFUL to you for posting this piece:-)..LEONID KOGAN !!! has been ALWAYS one of my favourites .(BTW..seems some people just enjoy :-) putting some boring comments instead of ENJOYING !!! the GREAT VIOLINIST playing itself )

originally, i thought my favorite violinist was heifetz, but then i started leaning towards oistrakh, and now i learn of kogan! love it!

So in about a year, this video will be ten years old.
How it only has half a million views is beyond me.
