Description:

A Lavish Collaboration with Master Conductors: Live Concertos by the Unparalleled Virtuoso KoganKogan, one of Russias foremost virtuosos, often compared to Oistrakh. DOREMI has released this delightful albumlikely featuring all-first-time recordingsshowcasing a truly stellar lineup of master musicians. His Brahms performance with Montu predates the famous Kondrasin & Moscow Philharmonic recording (1959, EMI) by one year, making it a valuable document of his American debut. Meanwhile, while Kogan is known for his studio recordings of Mozart with Ackerman (circa 1956) and Silvestri (1959), this album features a rare collaboration with Mitropoulos, who was leaving the New York Philharmonic that same year. In both cases, his razor-sharp technique and unwavering expression lend a truly awe-inspiring intensity to the performances. [Comment provided by King International]
