Through the music of this album, we have endeavored to juxtapose two narratives: one of lost memories and anguish, and one of openness and potential. As these narratives battle before our eyes in the real world, may this music serve that dialectic, wherein we accept the burden of darkness and reach towards lightness.

![Leonid Kogan - Paganini Violin Concerto No. 1 [HD Restoration]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/YQh31bOtbz4/mqdefault.jpg "Leonid Kogan - Paganini Violin Concerto No. 1 [HD Restoration]
Filmed for Soviet TV in 1981, a year before Leonid Kogans death. I combined all of the clips of Kogan playing the Violin Concerto No. 1 in D major from all of the episodes of the show. The footage has been restored and AI upscaled, and a high quality audio source was found, with correct pitch.
There are a handful of incredibly inspiring (and inspired) renditions of Paganini, such as that of Rabin, Ferras, Hirschhorn, Roman Kim, Gitlis and others, but I still think Kogan is the all-time King of Paganini!
Violin Concerto No.1, Op.6 in D major
00:00 - 1. Allegro maestoso
07:49 - 2. Adagio espressivo
12:43 - 3. Rondo. Allegro spiritoso
