    This recording displays the artistry and sense of style in 19thcentury virtuoso concerto of an extraordinary violinist. Leonid Kogan was a legendary figure in the musical profession and had he not suffered to live out his life in the restrictive society of the Soviet Union, he would be even better known today than he is. Fortunately for posterity he was a prolific recording artist. This reissue, which is among the first recordings he made in the West, contributes to our knowledge of this singular creative genius.
    Leonid Borisovich Kogan was born on 14 November 1924 in Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine, the son of two photographers. His father played the violin as an amateur and the sound so fascinated the boy that by the age of three he would not go to sleep unless he had the fiddle beside him. When he was five, he tried to play it, but became frustrated when he could not stretch his left hand far enough - so Boris Kogan bought him a small violin. Fortunately Leonid was found a first-rate teacher, Philip Yampolsky, who had studied with Auer. Seeing Kogan's natural platform manner and classical stance, the weight beautifully distributed between his feet and his back perfectly arched, the violin held quite high, one realised he had been well instructed from an early age. He felt that Philip Yampolsky inspired in him "a love of work, which I think is most important"; but he was never pushed - and almost gave up after two lessons. Luckily his parents encouraged him gently and by playing a few minutes each day, he kept his enthusiasm alive. "l cannot say that in my childhood I played with pleasure," he recalled, adding that he enjoyed most the pieces at which he had to work least! His first encounter with the playing of David Oistrakh, 16 years his senior, came in 1932 and was a spur to his endeavours.
    As a Jew, Kogan faced discrimination at every turn. "He made a career only through his really great talent," said his son Pavel. The turning point should have come in 1951, when he was pitched into the Ysaye Competition in Brussels. Joseph Stalin apparently asked Oistrakh who could capture the first prize for the Soviet Union and was told that only Kogan could do it. "My father was not a young man he was 26 and he got a call ten days or two weeks before the competition," said Pave! Kogan. It was a test of temperament but Kogan triumphed before a jury including Oistrakh and Jacques Thibaud - who in 1936, on a visit to Moscow, had foretold a great future for him. Instead of being feted across Europe, Kogan had to return home, as the Cold War was raging. Only in 1955 did he make his London and Paris debuts (playing three concertos in each programme). In 1956 he visited South America and at home he gave six concerts featuring 18 concertos with orchestra in the 1956/57 season, to illustrate The Development of the Violin Concerto. In January 1958 he made it to the United States. After his opening Boston performance of the Brahms Concerto, with Pierre Monteux conducting, the audience applauded for 18 minutes. From that moment until his premature death on a train, at the Mytishcha rail station on 17 December 1982, Kogan was recognised as one of the great violinists. He was made an Honoured Artist in 1955 and a People's Artist in 1964 and received the Lenin Prize the following year. He taught at the Moscow Conservatory virtually from the time he finished his post-graduate studies and became a soughtafter professor, as well as serving on competition juries.
    The conductor is the Romanianborn, Viennese-trained Charles Bruck (1911-95), who originally came to Paris to further his studies at the Ecole Normale and stayed to become a French citizen. As a conductor he specialised in modern music.

    - Léonid Kogan (1924-1982) Je l'ai découvert au domicile rempli de disques d'un vieux Monsieur qui a éclairé ma jeunesse, à partir de mes 14 ans. J'écoutais sa discothèque, je me remplissais de rêves mélomanes et ce que j'écoute aujourd'hui de L Kogan me demeure intact, c'est lui ! J'ai 78 ans, j'ai le cœur rempli d'émotion pour le bien qu'ils ont apporté à ma jeunesse. À cette évocation, je pleure... Que Dieu les garde dans sa lumière et son amour.

      A "Jew" would NOT have suffered from discrimination in the Soviet Union because it was established by "Jews"! It's just yet another technique to get the tears to flow for "Jews"!

    Thank you very much for presenting us Leonid Kogan and bringing him back to life again.
    Like Dawid Oistrach, we'll have to search far in spite of this absolutely wonderful, clean, pure and passionate violin playing.
    No show, just a pure profound and virtuose highly sophisticated violinist like the diamond, Kho-i-Noor, (mountain of light), belonging to the british crown jewels.
    Quelle gourmandise pour ces temps difficiles.

There is nothing Father you cannot do; because you are the Father of everything that we need and want. Thank you Lord for all that you have done and for what you continue to do in our lives.

    I'v just recently listen the great Oistrakh's version but I have to say that this one is even better, more expressive, more emotional, less romantic and more honest. The orchestration is amassing and Kogan is perfect - a true virtuoso. A moving interpretation. Bravo and thank you - great pick.

    Wunderschöne und spannende Interpretation dieses einzigartig konstruierten und ethnisch komponierten Meisterwerks mit seidigem doch gut phrasiertem Ton der unvergleichlichen Solovioline sowie gut vereinigten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen der anderen Instrumente. Der intelligente und geniale Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Orchester im veränderlichen Tempo und mit möglichst effektiver Dynamik. Die verbesserte Tonqualität ist auch ziemlich hoch als eine Originalaufnahme von siebenundsechzig Jahren vor. Wundervoll und atemberaubend zugleich!

      I just came across the wonderful composition a month ago via Bronislaw Huberman's recording with George Szell conducting (Wiener Philharmoniker). Yesterday I listened to Maxim Vengerov's EMI Classic release (Anontio Pappano conducting Phiharmonia Orchestra) but imo the violin was not mixed well and hard for me to fully enjoy. This recording is much cleaner and violin is not styfled.
