Dmitry Kogan Family. Dmitry Kogan: biography, repertoire, projects
The speech of Kogan and Chamber Orchestra "Moscow Camerat" passed in one breath. In anticipation of the fulfillment of the next work, the hall was silent - no violep of the chairs, or the breath of the audience. And after the virtuoso version, the flurry of applause.
In the concert program, the musician played on unique violins of Nikolo Amati (the most old violin, 1665), Antonio Stradivari, Giuseppe Gwarnerty Del Jesu, Giovanni Batista Guadanini and Jean Batista Willoma.
Before the speech, Dmitry Kogan talked with journalists and the first thing apologized for his delay:
Your city is developing, and this is reflected in the number of cars in it. I do not remember so that there were so many traffic jams here. This tour of the world has been conceived four years ago, each time it includes new tools with which we are touring in different cities. And I am very glad that Tula is included in it: I speak in your city since childhood, and I have formed the best impression. And playing for Tulakov for me is a big joy and a great honor. Tools can be accumulated from the collections where they are stored, only a month and a half a year.
The "Five Great Violin" project began on March 30 in London and ends today in your city. Then they will go to their owners.
- With what feeling you take into your hands these violins and which one do you like most?
I have only one comparison here: it's like communicating with five stunning girls. And if one praise, then the remaining four will definitely be distorted: this is not just musical instruments, but living beings - each with its own character, with their "biography". No wonder and the form of a violin resembles a female figure. And when I ask me which I prefer, I answer: "Everything!" Each has its sound. For example, the Great Stradivivius, as he subscribed to Latin, in his instruments climbed the closer to the timbre of a human voice, for which the glory was honored, which neither his predecessors, nor followers knew. Amati works are small, with gentle, ringing and surprisingly singery silver sound.
- How much time was allotted for acquaintance with your "girls"?
When the violins arrived, I had only three days to get used to the tools, which was difficult. But such tests in the life of the musician happened often, and there was no exit. Well, after the first concert it became easier ...
- Violins represent tremendous value. How are they transported from the city to the city?
All security measures are respected, in accordance with the contract, although in some cities the precaution is even unnecessary. For example, a couple of years ago in one city, the local minister of the Interior attached to us with violins a whole bus of riots with automata, in camouflage form. And the guys not only in the afternoon I was accompanied by a rehearsal and a concert, but at night they stood at the dosor under the door of the hotel room. I confess, I felt uncomfortable at the same time: as a prisoner. But I had to accept ... And once at the customs in Germany, the minister of law was shown vigilance.
I flew to a concert and with me three violins. The customs officer became interested: why do I need so much, did I do not smuggle?
And I demanded to prove that I am a violinist. I was forced to get a violin and play at the airport. Then my controller suddenly gone somewhere, I puzzled, and returned with the crowded colleagues and asked to play more. Refuse it would be impolite ...
- How much today, in your opinion, classical music is in demand?
I never felt her abnormality, she just needed to people, and it will always be. Of course, violinist or pianist will never be so popular as a pop singer or rapper, but performers in another genre can appear and disappear, and the classic is eternal. This, by the way, is the only form of musical art that treats diseases. I recently came to one major cardiology institute for his director, and he showed me an innovative branch. There are several chambers where patients listen to Hydena's music, baroque music, old Italians, Tchaikovsky, Glinka. I was surprised and was delighted at the same time.
- Do you watch music show on TV?
No, it simply does not have time. Mostly watch news programs - in the car, at the airport.
"You somehow said that the musician at the concert lays out as an athlete at competitions.
Yes, in my profession, the element of "physics" is present: the mode, the technique of the game ... It is not possible to feel a little, we must be able to convey it to the public, and everything is done by hand, no matter how cool. Another thing is that the spiritual component is not always present in the sport, although they say, Maradona was worried on the field, and not just played.
- And how do you relax?
I really want to do sports, but it does not work. And so I love to drive a car, good movies, I like to just listen to music. Different. You know, I spoke on the phone yesterday with my friend, who is 20 years older than me, was engaged in business, was loaded. And so he told me: "And now I'm learning to rest ..." And I will leave for a couple of days, and it begins: one hundred calls, then we have learned a new work ... I have never learned to relax.
