Immerse yourself in the virtuosity of Leonid Kogan with the release of "Leonid Kogan. Grand Collection. Vol. 16–20" on November 8, 2024, under the esteemed label JSC "Firma Melodiya". This extraordinary collection spans an impressive 5 hours and 7 minutes, featuring a diverse array of chamber music compositions that showcase Kogan's unparalleled mastery of the violin.
The album is a testament to Kogan's versatility, encompassing a wide range of styles and periods. From the classical elegance of Mozart's Violin Concerto No. 5 in A Major to the romantic intensity of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D Major, and the contemporary charm of Khachaturian's Adagio for Solo Violin from the Ballet "Gayane", each piece is performed with a depth of expression and technical brilliance that only Kogan can deliver.
Highlighted tracks include the enchanting "Havanaise" by Saint-Saëns, the passionate "Introduction et rondo capriccioso" by Saint-Saëns, and the lively "Sabre Dance" from Khachaturian's ballet "Gayane". The collection also features lesser-known gems such as the "Song-Poem (in Honor of Ashugs)" by Gubaidulina and the "Concert Transcription" from Rossini’s opera "The Barber of Seville", showcasing Kogan's ability to breathe new life into both classic and obscure works.
Accompanied by esteemed collaborators such as Grigory, this album is a must-listen for any classical music enthusiast. Whether you're a long-time admirer of Leonid Kogan or a newcomer to his artistry, this collection offers a profound and enriching experience, highlighting the timeless beauty of chamber music.
