Гениальное исполнение!

It's hard to imagine, watching on a laptop screen, how powerful this must have been. It's not just a piano and a violin being played, it's the entire life stories of three fascinating men.. the two on the stage and the one who composed this gut-wrenching, shrieking terror of a sonata.

That was out of this world. I have never heard this work played so wonderfully and so movingly.

How lucky whe are to listen and see so high interpretation!

When you listen to those great musicians, you can't figure how dull and severe this sonata may sound when it's played by less inspired instrumentists. Kagan sounds like a master of style.

So marvelous harmony..

Fabulous Kagan!!!

As a teenager I attended the February 1970 Carnegie Hall recital where Oistrakh and Richter performed this work, then "hot off the presses." I'd always adored Oistrakh's sweet tone, but the two artists were an odd couple onstage, they seemed almost mismatched. I found Richter's hulking presence dominated Oistrakh. Richter had an indecorous physicality; he entered the stage as if he were an Olympic wrestler before a bout. Oistrakh was all silk and elegant restraint. In one solo piano passage--I think the one at 25:15 here--Richter went berserk, as if he were an ape let out of its cage. (He was not at that time performing from score.) You can see the vestiges of that outburst even here, although not as pronounced as it was in 1970, if memory serves.

Enormous thanks to you and to U-Tube for this treasure.
