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 (19241982) performance and interpretation. It provides an intimate portrait together with his wife, Elisabeth Gilels (19192008) 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 Kogans 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.
