The sudden death of Dmitry Kogan. In memory of the magnificent violinist

Daniil Kogan dedicated his concert to the memory of his cousin, violinist Dmitry Kogan.

Violinist Daniil Kogan in an ensemble with pianist Oleg Khudyakov dedicated his concert on June 18, 2018 in the Small Hall of the Moscow Conservatory to the memory of his elder cousin Dmitry Kogan.

The concert program is very elegant. It also includes rarely performed works: Alfred Schnittke's Variations for violin and piano on the theme of a Christmas carol by Franz Gruber; “Mirror in a Mirror” by Arvo Pärt, and repertoire: First Sonata for Violin and Piano by Sergei Prokofiev and Fantasia for Violin and Piano in C major by Franz Schubert.

A. Schnittke’s variations set the concert not a tragic tone, but a tone of light sadness: “Do not speak with sadness - they are not there, but with gratitude - they were.” To understand this, you need to know the lyrics of this Protestant Christmas hymn, “Stile nacht” (“Silent Night”) by Franz Gruber, with lyrics by Joseph Mohr. I will give only one verse from this hymn translated into Russian:

“Silent night, wonderful night!
Everything sleeps, but doesn't sleep
In reverence, the holy couple,
Their hearts are filled with the wonderful Baby,
Joy burns in their souls.”

Young musicians were able to feel and convey this mood of joy and light emanating from the personality and work of Dmitry Kogan. In this composition, the author used light and warm tones of the sound palette.

Daniil Kogan and Oleg Khudyakov performed the first sonata for violin and piano by Sergei Prokofiev with concentration and strictness, especially its first and third movements - Andante assai And Andante.

Arvo Pärt’s wonderful iconic meditative play “Mirror in a Mirror” fit very well into the mood and general tone of the program. . It was written in 1978 and, if my memory serves me right, dedicated to Vladimir Spivakov, who, together with pianist Sergei Bezrodny, was its first performer.

There is another good reason for performing “Mirror in a Mirror” in this program. It features a short excerpt from the same hymn by Franz Gruber, “Silent Night,” on the theme of which Schnittke wrote his variations, performed at the beginning of this concert.

Just today, while listening to the recording of the concert under review, I heard the musical kinship between the Protestant Christmas hymn and the play “Mirror in the Mirror,” which I first heard exactly 40 years ago.. In order for me to hear this kinship, I needed to hear these works by Schnittke and Pärt in one concert.

This kinship is quite understandable - the musical culture of Pärt and Schnittke, although probably to a lesser extent, is rooted in Protestantism. The hymn “Silent Night” at Christmas is widely sung in congregational singing in churches of all Protestant denominations - Lutherans, Calvinists, Baptists, other evangelical communities, etc.

The concert ended with a wonderful performance of Franz Schubert's Fantasia for violin and piano in C major.

I would like to note the stylistic accuracy and good taste duet Daniil Kogan and Oleg Khudyakov. For each number of the program they had their own sound, their own colors, their own agogics. The young musicians turned out to be a very good ensemble, which was formed during their studies at Central music school at the Moscow Conservatory (TsMSh).

On August 29, at the age of 38, the famous Russian violinist, Honored Artist of Russia Dmitry Kogan passed away. The musician died in Moscow from cancer.

He began learning the violin at the age of 6 at the Central Music School at the Moscow Conservatory. P.I. Tchaikovsky. At the age of 10 he was already performing with a symphony orchestra. Dmitry Kogan's teachers were stars of musical and pedagogical art - Igor Semenovich Bezrodny, Eduard Davidovich Grach (Moscow Conservatory) and Thomas Haapanen (J. Sibelius Academy in Helsinki).

In 1997, Dmitry Kogan made his debut in the USA and Great Britain. After this it is successfully formed foreign career: the musician conquers the main concert halls of Europe, Asia, America and Australia.

In 2010, the violinist was awarded the title “Honored Artist of the Russian Federation.”

In 2011, together with philanthropist Valery Savelyev, the artist established the Fund for Support of Unique Cultural Projects named after Kogan. The purpose of the organization is to search for and care for young talents, as well as restore unique instruments and transferring them to practicing professionals.

Among the many charitable and creative projects, realized by Dmitry Kogan, “Five Great Violins” (the musician alternately demonstrates the unique capabilities of instruments made by Amati, Stradivari, Guarneri, Guadagnini, Viglioma), Arctic Festival classical music(introducing residents of the Far North to the masterpieces of the world musical culture), “Seasons” (live performance of concerts by Vivaldi and Piazzolla included in the video installation format).

The news of the musician's sudden death shocked admirers of his talent. Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev expressed his condolences to the family and friends of Dmitry Kogan.

"For my short life Dmitry Kogan managed to give people wonderful music. He knew how to sincerely and soulfully convey the beauty and depth of the works of great composers. And therefore the music he performed was close and understandable to everyone. People came to his concerts with whole families. The best halls in the world submitted to him. He was admired by everyone who had ever heard his violin.

Dmitry Pavlovich not only gave music from the stage. He did everything to make it sound throughout the country. Organized festivals, participated in charity events and looked for gifted children, helped them enter the beautiful world music.

Dmitry Kogan will remain in our memory not only as an outstanding musician, but also as a representative of a wonderful musical dynasty. The sound of his violin will forever remain in the hearts of millions,” says a message on the government’s official website.

According to the governor of the Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Igor Koshin, Dmitry Kogan was “a man of extraordinary strength and faith in all the best.”

“I can’t pronounce the word ‘was’.” He is there for me and for every resident of the Nenets Okrug - in the music he gave us, in the bright emotions, in the sincere love of life,” the head of the district wrote on his VKontakte page.

“He is the best, generous, kind, open and ready to share his talent with everyone who cares. Founder and ideological inspirer of the first Arctic festival of high music in Naryan-Mar. They will remain so forever,” nao24.ru quotes the governor as saying.

Leading Russian instrumentalists - saxophonist Igor Butman and pianist Denis Matsuev - admitted that they were shocked by the news of the death of the young musician.

“I have a shock and a feeling of injustice, because a young man in the prime of his life from a great family is dying,” Regnum quotes Matsuev as saying. – I was taken by surprise by the news - I didn’t know that terrible disease overcame him. We studied together, but haven’t seen each other for a long time.”

"So young and talented person passed away so early - 39 years old... We played with him. And they performed in joint concerts. And he gave a concert in the Hall of Columns of the House of Unions, we played with him, I played with his orchestra,” Igor Butman said on Komsomolskaya Pravda radio.

On his page on the social network, producer Maxim Fadeev recalled visiting Dmitry Kogan’s concert last spring: “Such a young and talented musician and simply beautiful person. In March, I was at his concert at MMDM, sat literally two meters from him and listened to his violin. I saw a drop of sweat running down my forehead. He was extraordinarily handsome and seemed to glow, and also smiled while playing music.<...>I even cried today when I read the article about his passing. What a pity! Happy memory to the Musician with a capital M!”

The death of “one of the brightest violinists of our time” was a “big shock” for the Minister of Culture of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Medinsky.

“Dmitry was a worthy successor to the best creative traditions of the illustrious dynasty,” emphasized the head of the Ministry of Culture. He also noted that “Dmitry Kogan attached great importance to educational and charitable activities, sought to involve young people from different countries To classical art"(TASS).

On Sputnik radio, pianist and conductor Alexander Gindin expressed hope that Dmitry Kogan’s ideas will be implemented after his death.

“I still can’t come to my senses. This man was a fountain vitality, a fountain of amazing organizing ideas musical projects. Before him, few people had done this on such a scale and few knew how to do it. He always had new ideas for the development of all kinds of concerts within the framework of classical music and beyond. First of all, he will be remembered as a wonderful violinist and a very good musician. This is what he loved most and what he came into this world for. I hope that the ideas he brought will remain. Because they are very correct and very close to every musician, but these ideas and discoveries were given to Dima,” said Alexander Gindin (rsute.ru).

This is what Dmitry Kogan said:

“Giving light at the end of the tunnel is a huge responsibility and a special joy” (KP);

“No, I’m not afraid of any sanctions, that’s stupid. I mind my own business. My document is the stage, the music and the audience. I believe that everyone should mind their own business: politicians should do politics, diplomats should do diplomacy, doctors should treat, and musicians should play on stage, this is their calling. And let some appeals or documents be signed by lawyers (crimea.mk.ru);

“I like a lot of musicians. But we must remember the biblical commandment: “Do not make for yourself an idol.” Therefore, a musician (or any creative person) must go his own way and follow the call of his heart, soul and mind" (crimea.mk.ru);

“Classical music is not the lot of rich people, but the lot of enthusiasts - fanatics who adore their work. That's why I always try to help classical musicians- I know that they can withstand, I myself have gone through a lot in life and I understand the value of this matter” (crimea.mk.ru);

“You have to give something to people, so that God can give you something too. We need to share our success and our capabilities. If I can help the young talented musician, I do it - it's not that difficult. If I have an extra set of strings or a bow that I don't use to play concerts, why not give them to me? young man who needs them? Or some amount of money, which for me is not fundamental in life... I do it with pleasure, for me it is the norm - like going to the shower or brushing my teeth” (crimea.mk.ru).

A little over a year ago I stopped Dmitry Kogan (1978-2017)- world-famous scri-pa-cha, Honored Artist of Russia, Honorary Professor of the Ural and Athens Conservatory va-to-riy, artistic-gui-di-te-la of a number of festivals and projects (“Kremlin musical”, “Arctic” -sky festival of classical music”, “Kogan festival”, “Days of high music” and others). For the musical, artistic community, the death of talent, youth, incredible activity This person has become a real tragedy.

Dmitry Kogan belonged to a famous musical dynasty. His grandfather was the famous violinist Leonid Kogan, his grandmother was violinist and teacher Eliza-ve-ta Gilels, his father was conductor Pavel Kogan, and his mother was a pianist -ka Lyubov Kazinskaya. Family traditions played a very important role in the development of new music. Being the grandson of the legendary dar-no-go skri-pa-cha is a great responsibility. As Dmitry himself recalled, since childhood his play has been evaluated more carefully, not to forgive inaccuracies and roughness , compare it with my grandfather’s performance. It is this very vision that will evolve in the future, and that is why Dmitry Kogan worthily continued the work of the great muse -ka-noy dynasty.

He is not embarrassed by the difficulty. He played not only in academic halls, but also for children and adults who survived the terrible tragedy in Beslan. He was the first of the creaks to speak in front of the Polars at the North Pole. Dmitry Kogan devoted a lot of effort to the development of classy art in the regions of Russia. His project “Five Great Creaks” allowed the listeners of different cities to become acquainted with the sound of the instrument. Comrade of unsurpassed violin masters. A special place in his repertoire was occupied by the cycle of 24 caprices by N. Pagani, which can only be performed by a few screams in the world. He has performed at concert venues in Russia, Europe, Asia, America, Australia, the Middle East, the CIS and Baltic countries.

The violinist performed at the Novaya Opera three times, together with the Moscow Camera Orchestra, whose artistic direction -th he has been since 2014. In 2015, both of their concerts featured music from different authors, including the works of Mitro-po-li-ta Volok-lam-skogo Ilari -o-na (Alfee-va) - a special guest and the current concert. In March 2016, the concert “Italian Collection” with the participation of Dmitry Kogan, the Moscow Camera Orchestra, soloists of the Novaya Opera and Dmitry Sibir -tse-va (for-te-pi-a-no) became the decoration of the theater’s concert poster.

October 28, 2018 in the Moscow theater "New Opera" named after E.V. Kolobov was held evening in memory of Dmitry Kogan(1978 – 2017), virtuoso violinist, artistic director of the chamber orchestra "Moscow Camerata", Honored Artist of Russia, public figure.

The Maestro's life path was very short - he was only 38 years old. Nevertheless, creative biography The artist is extremely full of events, musical, educational, educational, socially important ( first of all, charitable) projects. "Comet Man" bright Star, he swiftly swept across the sky, leaving behind a deep mark that will bring light, faith and hope to many people.

Dmitry Kogan and the chamber orchestra led by him "Moscow Camerata" performed on stage several times "New Opera" . I was lucky enough to attend two - Rozhdestvensky V December 2015 And "Italian Collection" V March 2016. I remember those incredible, fantastic improvisations with which the artist pampered the audience in the final numbers, traditionally performed as encores. The secular and sacred music of classical and modern composers filled the space around with a special light, kind, pure, gracious. After such concerts the soul always feels very good.

Program evening in memory of Dmitry Kogan included vocal and symphonic works, which were performed, among other things, in those two concerts. This time he performed wonderful music Symphony Orchestra theater "New Opera" . Conductor – Yuri Medyanik. Special guest – Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk (Alfeev).

First department :

T. Albinoni. Adagio (Non so dove trovarti).
Soloist – Dmitry Bobrov (tenor).

Concert host Mikhail Segelman reminded those present that this work is a symbol of grief. Indeed, the lyrical melody is fraught with motifs of tears, aching melancholy and light sadness. Voice Dmitry Bobrov subtly, delicately conveyed the mood, perhaps embedded by the composer in the dramaturgy of his composition.

R.Strauss. Morgen – "Morning"(on verses J.G.McKay).
Soloist – Elizaveta Soina (soprano).

Musical material This song is filled with the sounds of awakening nature. In the melody one can hear the singing of birds, the murmuring of streams, the sound of the wind entangled in dense foliage.
Voice Elizaveta Soina, strong but gentle, full of freshness and warmth, draws picturesque landscape, in the center of which is a spring forest illuminated by the soft rays of the rising sun.

F.Schubert. "Unfinished" Symphony in B minor (h moll) №8 .
I. Allegro moderato;
II. Andante con moto.
Conductor – Metropolitan Hilarion.

My eighth symphony German composer of the era romanticism, who lived only 31 years, did not have time to finish. His richest creative heritage provided descendants with the opportunity to enjoy only two parts - “fast” and “slow”.
The writing is deep, stunning, fascinating. Throughout its sound, the imagination painted pictures of the continuous struggle between Light and Darkness, Man and Nature, Health and Illness, Life and Death. Images of fear, despair and oppression echo the images of faith and hope. Even in the darkest, most difficult times, talented music, as a species high art, gives human souls the opportunity to cleanse themselves and gain new strength to pass tests.

Program second department The concert consisted exclusively of symphonic works.

G. Caccini. Ave Maria.
Soloist – Valery Konov pipe).
There is something unearthly about this music. It sounds as if from above, it is perceived as long-awaited good rain, coming after a long drought. The melody is bright and spiritual. It seems that it can cover a huge space and protect everyone who is there from many troubles and misfortunes.

Dmitry Kogan is a famous violinist, so the most important milestones of the evening were two works for violin and symphony orchestra, belonging to different eras.

E. Podgayts. Nocturne.
Soloist – Valery Vorona(Honored Artist of Russia, violin).

This work made an impression mainly due to the fusion of different performing techniques and the parallel use of several types of sound production. Harmony born from chaos. sunlight, reigning among thunderclouds.

F. Mendelson. Concerto for violin and orchestra in E minor (E moll).
I. Allegro molto appassionato;
II. Andante;
III. Allegro molto vivace.
Soloist – Maxim Gusev(winner International competition, violin).

This is a true masterpiece German composer era romanticism. It is distinguished by a rich, generous melodic outline, full of bright, varied, picturesque images that transform and gradually develop from the beginning of the work to its climax.
There is something fabulous, magical in those incredible, most complex passages that the virtuoso violinist performs with pinpoint precision and purely artistic courage. Maxim Gusev. Lyricism and tenderness here coexist with passion and drama. The emotional range is off the charts!

Metropolitan Hilarion (Alfeev). Concerto grosso.
I. Adagio molto. Allegro;
II. Adagio;
III. Finale.

The final chord of the evening was the composition of our contemporary, written in aesthetics baroque with elements modern. Music is full of light. She's like guiding star, which will definitely indicate Right way the most attentive, deep, sincere people. The work was born at the intersection of rich traditions spiritual creativity J.S.Bach and current trends in contemporary art.

Dmitry Kogan with his creativity he lit a bright fire in many hearts and souls. The concert dedicated to his memory turned out to be very sincere, warm and bright. It seemed as if the Maestro himself was invisibly present in the hall of the New Opera. However, visually he was also with his audience, looking at us from the screen. The photographs captured priceless moments of the musician's life in art.
