Awards and reviews
Kogan can be bad news for a critic. Staring at my pretty much blank piece of paper after eighty minutes of beautiful violin playing – so unforced, natural sounding, so perfect a conjunction of tone and projection, so digitally immaculate – one wonders what one can add, beyond the instruction to listen immediately if one has not already done so.. The Kogan-Mytnik was a real duo not a chauffeur and master arrangement. Despite the fact that Myynik is naturally not as well remembered as his illustrious partner he makes for an assertive and combative presence, all to the good for ensemble work. Their collective expressive control is always impressive…As for the playing, it remains worthy of the highest respect and the greatest possible admiration.
