Honored Artist of Russia, famous violinist Dmitry Kogan passed away last Tuesday. Relatives, colleagues, fans admit: he left bright and crazy talented person, a real master of your business. He struggled with a serious illness for a long time, but continued to work hard until last bit of strength didn't leave the stage.

Kogan was called tireless in creativity, he was the adornment of any orchestra and everyone’s favorite. And also - one of four violinists in the world who play 24 caprices for solo violin by Niccolo Paganini, which at one time were declared unplayable. Dmitry is the third generation famous family Koganov, he was part of the great musical dynasty. His grandfather is the outstanding violinist Leonid Kogan, his grandmother is the famous violinist and teacher Elizaveta Gilels, his father is conductor Pavel Kogan, his mother is pianist Lyubov Kazinskaya.

The musician was connected with Ossetia special relationship. His mother Lyubov Vladimirovna is half Ossetian, she raised talented son, sacrificing her career for him. Dmitry has performed concerts in our republic more than once - for the first time in 1997 with the State Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra headed by Pavel Yadykh, then the violinist was one of the first to give a charity concert in Beslan after the terrorist attack.

For admirers of his work, the musician’s death was a real blow, a tragedy in the world of art.

Former Minister of Culture, Dean of the Faculty of Journalism of SOGU Fatima Khabalova shared her memories with Slovo, emphasizing that she was always admired by Dmitry’s talent. Fatima Soslanbekovna is Lyubov Kazinskaya’s second cousin, and she knew Dmitry Kogan as a child. According to her, in addition to family, she and Dmitry were also united by a spiritual connection.

“Lyuba, his mother, once told me that when Dima was very little, for some reason he avoided everything related to music, but then he became so carried away that they could not take the violin away from him. At the age of seven, Dima had a violin under his chin a pigment spot formed, and this is how the boy literally became one with the musical instrument and did not let it out of his hands.”

From official biography It is known that from the age of six Kogan studied violin at the Central Music School at the Moscow State Conservatory. P.I. Tchaikovsky. At the age of ten he performed for the first time with a symphony orchestra, and at fifteen he performed with the orchestra in Great hall Moscow Conservatory. In 1997, the musician made his debut in the UK and the USA. He performed in concert halls Europe, Asia, America, Australia and the Middle East. In 2010, Dmitry Kogan was awarded the title of Honored Artist of Russia. In 2014, the musician was appointed artistic director of the Moscow Camerata orchestra.

“When Dima first came to Ossetia with a concert,” recalls Professor Boris Tomaev ( cousin Elena Kadieva-Tomaeva - grandmother of Dmitry Kogan - editor's note) - he was still very young, but already a virtuoso. Played for memory the most complex work- Sibelius concerto, conducted by Pavel Yadykh, who, of course, immediately appreciated the boy. Dima was indeed very talented and bright musician. About the concerts that I had the opportunity to attend - both here and in Moscow, I can only say one thing - excellent and the highest degree of performance."

According to Boris Mikhailovich, he learned about his great-nephew’s illness last year. “We hoped for foreign clinics in Germany and Israel, where Dima was treated, but they also turned out to be powerless in the face of such a terrible disease as oncology.”

“He was a bright musician, an innovator,” continues Khabalova. “Yes, today there are many talented and gifted people, but there are only a few as hardworking as Dima. He managed to realize a lot creative projects for very a short time. What heights could you still achieve?"

Fatima Khabalova also spoke about plans that, unfortunately, were not destined to come true. There was a preliminary agreement with Dmitry Kogan about the musician’s arrival in Ossetia in the fall for the festival “Visiting Larisa Gergieva.”

“We even discussed the repertoire with him, but, alas, fate decreed otherwise,” says Fatima Soslanbekovna.

Artistic director State Theater Opera and Ballet of RNO-Alania Larisa Abisalovna was sincerely upset at the untimely death of the great musician and expressed condolences to the Kogan family.

By the will of the same fate, the Koganov thread was broken with Dmitry, he was married to Ksenia Chilingarova (daughter of the famous polar explorer, hero of Russia Artur Chilingarov - editor's note), but there were no children in the marriage.

The famous violinist was buried at the Troekurovsky cemetery in Moscow.

From Dur-Dur to Austria

Veteran of the Great Patriotic War Safarbi Tsaliev went to war very young. He steadfastly endured all the hardships of the war years and, not paying attention to his wounds, boldly went into battle. Safarbi participated in the crossing of the Don, in the battles near Kursk, and in the liberation of Kramatorsk and Zaporozhye. At 96 years old, he actively participates in the life of his native village of Dur-Dur, drives a car himself and does not complain about anything. He believes that if you want to live better, “you need to try, work, achieve it.” Safarbi Tsaliev is distinguished by his strength of character and fortitude; perhaps these are innate qualities, or perhaps he was tempered by the war.

On the very edge of the front line

The young corporal is a scout with the most dangerous position on the front line. Afterwards - a signalman who continues to repair damaged communication lines, despite being wounded. All these trials fell on the fate of a soldier from North Ossetia, Vladimir Bochmanov, who passed the front line from Ordzhonikidze to Crimea, where he accomplished his feat in the heroic assault on Sapun Mountain. Then, in the fateful 1944, at the cost of 80 thousand lives Soviet soldiers Sevastopol was liberated from the German invaders.

Victorious formation at any time

The tradition, born in Siberia in 2012, has gained colossal proportions in seven years and has become truly popular. " Immortal Regiment“gathers millions of marchers not only in Russia, but also in 44 countries around the world, and the chronicle already contains more than 400,000 names of soldiers who once defended the country at the cost of their lives.

Kogan's speech and chamber orchestra“Moscow Camerata” passed in one breath. In anticipation of the performance of the next piece, the hall froze - no creaking of chairs, no breathing of the audience. And after a masterly performance - a flurry of applause.

IN concert program the musician played on unique violins work Nicolo Amati(the oldest violin, 1665), Antonio Stradivari, Giuseppe Guarneri del Gesù, Giovanni Batista Guadagnini and Jean Baptiste Viglioma.

Before the speech, Dmitry Kogan spoke with journalists and first of all apologized for his lateness:

Your city is developing, and this is reflected in the number of cars in it. I don't remember there being so many traffic jams here before. This world tour was conceived four years ago, each time it includes new instruments with which we tour around the world. different cities. And I’m very glad that Tula is included in it: I’ve been performing in your city since childhood, and I have the best impression of it best experience. And playing for the Tula people is a great joy and honor for me. Tools can be accumulated from the collections where they are stored for only one and a half months a year.

The Five Great Violins project began on March 30 in London and ends today in your city. They will then go to their owners.

— How do you feel when you pick up these violins and which one do you like best?

The only comparison I have here is that it's like hanging out with five amazing girls. And if you praise one, the other four will definitely take revenge: it’s not easy musical instruments, but living beings - each with its own character, with its own “biography”. No wonder the shape of a violin resembles female figure. And when they ask me which one I prefer, I answer: “Everything!” Each has its own sound. For example, the great Stradivarius, as he signed in Latin, in his instruments came closest to the timbre of the human voice, for which he was awarded fame that neither his predecessors nor followers knew. Amati's works are small, with a gentle, ringing and surprisingly melodious silvery sound.

— How much time was allocated to getting to know your “girls”?

When the violins arrived, I only had three days to get used to the instruments, which was difficult. But such trials happen often in the life of a musician, and there was no way out. Well, after the first concert it became easier...

— Violins are of great value. How are they transported from city to city?

All safety measures were observed, 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 Internal Affairs sent a whole bus of riot policemen with machine guns, in camouflage uniforms, to us with violins. Moreover, the guys not only accompanied me to rehearsals and concerts during the day, but also stood guard at the door of the hotel room at night. I admit, I felt uncomfortable at the same time: like a prisoner. But I had to come to terms with it... And once at customs in Germany, the officer of the law showed vigilance.

I was flying to a concert and took three violins with me. The customs officer became interested: why do I need so much, am I a smuggler?

And he demanded to prove that I was a violinist. I was forced to get out the violin and play at the airport. Then my controller suddenly left somewhere, I was puzzled, and returned with a crowd of colleagues and asked to play again. It would be rude to refuse...

— How popular is classical music today, in your opinion?

I have never felt that it was not in demand, people simply need it, and it will always be so. Of course, a violinist or pianist will never be as popular as a crooner or rapper, but artists in another genre may come and go, but the classics are timeless. By the way, this is the only type musical art who cures diseases. I recently came to a large cardiology institute to see its director, and he showed me the innovative department. There are several rooms where patients listen to the music of Haydn, Baroque music, old Italians, Tchaikovsky, Glinka. I was surprised and delighted at the same time.

- Are you looking? music shows on TV?

No, there's simply no time for that. Mostly I watch news programs- in the car, at the airport.

— You once said that a musician gives his best at a concert, like an athlete at a competition.

Yes, in my profession there is an element of “physics”: the mode, the playing technique... It’s not enough to feel, you need to be able to convey it to the public, and everything is done by hand, no matter how you look at it. Another thing is that there is not always a spiritual component in sports, although, they say, Maradona created on the field, and not just played.

- How do you relax?

I really want to go in for sports, but I can’t. And I love driving a car, good movies, and just listening to music. Different. You know, yesterday I spoke on the phone with my friend, who is 20 years older than me, has been in business all his life, and has been busy. And so he told me: “And now I’m learning to rest...” And I’ll leave for a couple of days, and it starts: a hundred calls, then I’ll learn a new piece... I haven’t learned to rest yet.

Voice of the People

This is my first time at such a concert, I came from Bogoroditsk. I love classical music, it always sounds at home. Children are raised spiritually on it.
