Leonid Kogan and Elisabeth Gilels - Sonatas for Two Violins by Leclair, Telemann and Ysaÿe

The repertoire presented here allows the listener a rare insight into the more personal side of Leonid Kogan (1924-1982) performance and interpretation. It provides an intimate portrait together with his wife, Elisabeth Gilels (1919-2008) in works of equal stature by Leclair, Telemann and Ysaÿe (known as ‘The King of the Violin’). A collection of very rare and hidden gems, often overlooked for Kogan’s grander concerto performances in Tchaikovsky, Beethoven & Brahms. Leonid Kogan and Elisabeth Gilels displays a brilliant and finely honed technique in these superb recordings. First time uploaded completely on YouTube, of this very rare and expensive recording. ÿe-Sonatas-For-Two-Violins/release/4150058 Jean-Marie Leclair (1697-1764) Sonata No. 3 in C Major, Op. 3 No. 3 00:00 - I.
