Title: Incredible performance of the violin concerto
Product review: Tchaikovsky's great violin concerto is performed so often that sometimes you simply want a break from it. Not this time. Leonid Kogan's performance here is special. His tone is huge and the sound gorgeous. His interpretation is highly passionate and the tempos seem absolutely perfect. In many performances the recapitulation seems to go on forever. Here the performance is so magnificent, you can to listen to it forever. Other violinists like Heifetz, Perlman, Milstein, etc. have recorded great performances but this one, in my opinion, is the very best.The piano concerto performance is a little rough at times but is still guite good. But if you buy this CD just for the violin concerto, you are still getting your money's worth.
