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!
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
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.
***** 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 💖🎻🎻🎻
+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 ?

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!!!
Kogan was an incredible violinist
And he will always be
@@acburton6966 You replied 14 years later lol
@@bruh7130 theres nothing funny about that
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 like the sound of his violin, so pure and very clear. For me Kogan is the greatest.
Для меня тоже💯❤️

Благородство звука - благородство Духа! Великий, незабвенный Леонид Борисович!
A volcano of emotion, controlled into perfection. This is - for me - the essence of music.
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!

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
leonid is perfect, so clean, so prolix, he play so calm, the best of the best
Какое владение скрипкой!!! Потрясающе!! Он будет жить вечно, и музыка Паганини тоже!! Великолепно
El Excepcional Violinista
Leonid KOGAN , ejecuta el Cantable del Virtuoso Violinista
Nicolo Paganini , con un Fraseo y sonido de Excelencia .
Bravo
Щемящее чувство любви и нежности дарят нам два гения. Проходят года, а прекрасное будет жить всегда.

Каждое Его исполнение было магией!!Завораживающее совершенство и полет души!
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.
His vibrato is so mature :) I just love it!
слушать надо великих исполнителей! обогащение!
I'm in love with Paganini 😍❤
My favorite composer played by one of my favorite violinists... definitely no words are enough to describe the beauty in this melody
The man is king of the violin. Mastery beyond anything imaginable.
Perfect execution . The best in the world .
сколько слушаю кантабеле,сколько исполняю с моей скрипачкой...не устаю...могу слушать бесконечно много..
Единственный, кто мог позволить достаточно ясно услышать, как играл Паганини.
Comment ne pas être enchantée par un tel talent. Vous nous manquez Monsieur
Great all you guys for praising this master of a violinists.
Это прекрасно! Люблю Паганини! И люблю Паганини в исполнении Леонида Когана!
Bravo!
I can't seem to stop myself from repetitively listening to this performance in complete adoration.
Щастливи сме че можем да чуваме такива гений

Dear Master we miss you
La mejor versión, la.mas perfecta, la que trasmite el encanto de paganini
Magnifique exécution! Encore un grand maître du violon!
Неописуемое великолепие...

The best interpretation of Paganini's
Cantabile
Heart-quickening, breath-hindering, tears-inducing.
ДВА КОРОЛЯ -АВТОР И ИСПОЛНИТЕЛЬ ! ВИВАТ !
...playing right from the heart! Absolutely one with his instrument! I keep watching this again and again... a masterpiece!
Her Majesty Kogan is five stars PLUS supernatural magic of touch and expression.
In EACH piece he plays.
I'm get you wrong. Kogan is out of this planet.
The true King of the violin
this is what music is meant to be. wondrous.
Бесподобно!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Слезы на глазах.... гениально играет!!!!
Thank you for sharing this! My violin teacher told me about him and I am so surprised to find something so old here on CZcams :)
thats what i call to play with soul..great amazing..i love cantabile-
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
La exelencia. 🎻🎶🎶🇮🇷México 🖐️🥇
The sound quality is fabulous, clear and sharp. I love this piece by Paganini. Thankyou for this video.
Божественно!
is amazing his face, concentrated, feeling the music
One of my violin heroes. Kogan is the best violinist of all time! God bless him!
Masterful Paganini and Leonid Kogan.... :)
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 one of my favourite pieces of music ever, it's so beautiful
AS smooth as silk!
So in about a year, this video will be ten years old.
How it only has half a million views is beyond me.

+Caleb, LOL ! Unfortunately, it would appear you are right. :-|
What is beyond you . People like only idiot music .
L Kogan and the violin are one unit pouring out the most expressive torrent of music and virtuosity unrivaled
ВЕЛИКИЙ СКРИПАЧ РОДОМ ИЗ ВЕЛИКОЙ СТРАНЫ СССР таких нет и нге будет.
Absolutely gorgeous. It always soothes me to hear this angelic music.
The best interpretation ever
Fell in love with this the moment I heard the first note.
and it sounds absolutely beautiful.
passion, sound, intonation .... !!!
Played to perfection by one of the greats.
back then, people were very fortunate to have giants like kogan. the Golden age, when each violinist had his own "very distinct" tone and voice.
Proof that people will thumb down anything.
+TurdFurgeson571 It should be considered a sin in this case
TurdFurgeson571 exactly
Hmm? You can't just criticise them for having own opinion lmao. Maybe they didn't enjoy arrangement.
@Daddy Raven I concur. I also do not like your dislike of his interpretation lol
@Daddy Raven 😊 I'm expecting your interpretation of chaconne...
staggering performance. it just isnt fair that someone plays this well.
He is the greatest
Sublimely beautiful ☺️
one word: BEAUTIFUL
Genius!
best violinist ever
Kogan Oistrakh Heifetz como explicar tal perfeição desses violinistas unica explicação éo dom de Deus derramados em suas mãos violinisticas.
So deep in his interpretation!
C'est magnifique!
so much expression and emotion absolutely perfection like poulha said.
Simply the best, without any other words. Really explains the meaning of the word ,,Cantabile''
That's brilliant cantabile.💕
And best performance EVER also!!!
Beautiful
This is so beautiful!
He looks like a piece of sculpture that has come to life and started playing the violin.
Best masterpiece EVER!!!
It's very , very and very GOOD!
Technic, emotions, easynes, mysic, everuthing is here, everything and so much more...
Bravo Maestro!!!
