His grandfather - Leonid Kogan - one of the greatest violinists of the 20th century, grandmother Elizaveta Gilels - the famous violinist and sister of the pianist Emil Gilels, instilled in Dmitry a love of classical music from childhood. Dmitry began learning to play the violin at the age of 4, from the age of six he continued his studies at the Central Music School at the Moscow Conservatory, the first public debut - a concert with a symphony orchestra - took place at the age of 10, his first concert in the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory, Dmitry played at the age of fifteen .

Dmitry has recorded a number of CDs with the world's leading record labels.

The musician devoted a lot of time and effort to restoring and strengthening the status of classical music in the value system of modern society. Dmitry not only gave master classes in various countries of the world, but also took part in the activities of charitable societies, supporting actions in favor of children and youth.

In April 2009, Kogan became the first violinist to give a concert for polar explorers at the North Pole. In 2011, Dmitry created the Fund for Support of Unique Cultural Projects.

Dmitry Kogan is the author and artistic director of the Leonid Kogan International Festival, as well as the annual Days of High Music festival, which has received wide recognition throughout Russia.

Dmitry has created a number of musical multimedia projects, the latest of which was the project “The Legend of Valentine”, which premiered in the UK at the London Science Museum.

“Mom made me a violinist”

Dmitry Kogan, the grandson of the legendary violinist Leonid Kogan and the son of the no less famous conductor Pavel Kogan, was destined to become a musician. Nevertheless, Dmitry always emphasizes that he has never been a slave to the violin. He has many friends, he loves cinema, restaurants and does charity work.

Dmitry Kogan traditionally celebrates his birthday on stage. The musician is sure: there is nothing more pleasant than to present a gift to others on your holiday. So this year, Dmitry did not change himself: on the day of his 35th birthday, he performed on the stage of the Barvikha Luxury Village concert hall, giving fans the opportunity to compare the dissimilar voices of five great violins. And although the instruments of Stradivari, Guarneri, Amati, Guadanini and Vuilloma have a total insurance value of twenty million dollars, they are nevertheless practically priceless. They are transported in armored cases, accompanied by an impressive bodyguard.

It is not often possible to hear all five violins on the same stage during one evening: the owners allow them to be taken out of storage only a few times a year. But at the same time, it is very difficult to collect them in one place at one time: one is taken to the exhibition, the other is to be restored, the third is exhibited in the museum ... All the instruments have a solid age. The oldest one is more than four centuries old. It was made by Antonio and Jerome Amati in 1595. The youngest - its author Jean-Baptiste Vuilleme - is a little over a century and a half.

Dmitry Kogan presents each of the great violins as his good friend, with an amazing voice and his own destiny. “The Amati violin has a melodious voice, incredible tenderness and softness,” Dmitry says. - Antonio Stradivari's violin has a truly "golden" timbre. The instrument of Giuseppe Guarneri has amazing power, energy and charisma, and the voice of the violin Giovanni Battista Guadanini is noble and surprisingly deep. The only instrument of a non-Italian master is the violin of Jean Baptiste Vuillaume. He became famous for his stunning replicas of Stradivari and Guarneri violins. This violin shows how close a copy can sometimes be to the original and how perfect it can be.”

Dmitry, you talk about these violins as if they were living beings.
Of course, for me they are all alive, with their own soul and energy. There are five of them and I am one. Each of them really has their own temper, which they periodically show me. For example, when I start playing more on one violin, the other one immediately shows her dissatisfaction - with the sound.

Are you seriously?
Seriously. Now I devote the same amount of time to all violins. Before, I tried to play more on those violins that arrived later, in order to get used to them and make up for lost time, missed rehearsals. By the way, it happens that something goes wrong at a concert and you don’t understand what is happening: there are no technical problems, there are no cracks, everything is in tune, but the violin plays badly. The problem is at the energy level. You know, it's like a person who feels unwell: he comes to the doctor, and he is told that he is absolutely healthy. It's the same with violins.

Dmitry, your grandfather is Leonid Kogan, an outstanding violinist of the 20th century, your grandmother is Elizaveta Gilels, a famous violinist, your father is conductor Pavel Kogan, and your mother is pianist Lyubov Kazinskaya. Apparently, your fate was predetermined from birth?
Of course, now I can talk about who I could have become if I had not become a violinist. But this is tantamount to saying that I will say why I was born a man and not a woman. ( Laughs.) Of course, as a child, I dreamed of many things: to fly into space, to become a football player, at one time I even dreamed of the profession of an electronics repairman. And I was well versed in all this - I repaired cameras and tape recorders. But by the age of twelve, the violin still completely took possession of me and all other hobbies faded into the background. I remember very well that summer, when I suddenly realized that music is the main thing for me.

Didn't you, like any child, have a desire to quit music lessons?
Of course, there was such a desire. And very strong! ( Smiling.) The fact is that the violin is a very specific instrument. Unlike the same piano, which makes a "specific sound": anyone can come up, press a key - and the note will sound. It's impossible to do this on a violin. It takes months of exercise. Therefore, the training was very difficult: you are tortured, tortured, and instead of sounds, the violin makes some kind of whistle and rattle. And of course, after the very first lesson, I lost all ardor and desire to study further - nothing happens, the violin does not want to play. Gotta quit this! I wanted, like the other guys, to play football. In addition, when I realized that first I had to play scales, learn etudes, put my hands on, and only then, after many years, maybe there would be a big stage and success, the desire to abandon classes only strengthened. And if it were not for the heroic efforts of my mother, it would hardly have happened - my mother literally made a violinist out of me. I wouldn't have gotten there on my own. She persuaded me, forced me and even bribed me. For example, for an hour of classes, they gave me chewing gum with an insert. In those years, and this was the end of the 80s, nothing better could be imagined. I remember my mother even paid me money for classes! Until I became insolent and began to demand exorbitant amounts. ( Laughs.) But when I saw the result, there was no stopping me - I literally fell ill with music!

And at the age of ten you already had your first solo concert.
Yes, I spoke at some military institute. But I was so worried that I hardly remembered anything. Only the way my mother held my hand tightly before going on stage. How I went on stage, how I played - I don’t remember. Then I performed a lot, and when I was fifteen years old, I made my first debut concert with a symphony orchestra led by the renowned conductor Arnold Katz. But it was already a serious performance.

And then you no longer experienced such fear?
No fear. But the excitement is always there. I tried to overcome it, worked on myself. But, oddly enough, when I managed to be absolutely calm, the concert turned out worse. Then I realized that excitement is necessary. Only it gives that emotional lift and inspiration that creative people need so much. Remember, as in Lermontov: "The empty heart beats evenly, the gun did not flinch in the hand." The heart should not beat evenly, therefore, purely technically, it is impossible to play concerts.

Did you decide to go with a concert to the North Pole yourself, or did someone suggest you?
I was offered to play a concert for polar explorers. I really liked this idea, and I went there with pleasure. The concert took place in a tent at zero temperature. Of course, it was cold, but very interesting.

Perhaps there were very few spectators there?
Man fifty. You know, the world-famous violinist Bronislaw Huberman once came to Vienna, where he was supposed to give a concert, and there was some kind of overlay: the concert was postponed, and Huberman was not warned. He arrived a day earlier, went on stage in a tailcoat, and there was only one person in the hall. And Bronislav Huberman played a two-hour concert for him! Then he was asked why he did not cancel his performance and why he gave all the best if there was only one spectator there. And Huberman replied that this man listened to him with such trepidation that he would gladly play for him again! Only now I began to understand that even with three thousand spectators there may not be such an energy contact as with ten. In general, non-traditional forms of “carrying” art to the masses have become interesting to me now, if, of course, I can put it that way.

Is that why you went down to the underpass?
Yes. Where I just did not play! ( Laughs.) In the underpass, I was invited to play as an experiment - to see how much money a musician of my level could earn and whether passers-by could distinguish me from an ordinary violinist who works there daily. I didn’t shave on purpose, put on a hat, a jacket and went down to the subway. As a result, in two hours of playing, I earned about two thousand rubles. There was a very funny incident: one passer-by refused to give money, and when asked why, he replied: “Yes, this one plays here every day. So fake - just awful! That's why I never give him money."

Dmitry, you have performed at the world's best concert venues with leading symphony orchestras. Don't you get the feeling that you have already played everything and everywhere? Aren't you afraid that at some point you might get bored?
Yes, there was such a period. When I was thirty years old, I began to think about what would happen next. I played a huge number of concerts, toured countries and cities, recorded many discs, played the best violins in the world. What's next? Now I'm thirty, and then I'll be forty - and really nothing will change? This worried me a lot, and then I realized that my goal was not to play something myself and achieve something special, but to introduce as many people as possible to the wonderful world of music. Everything that I did before was exclusively for a certain audience, and this was probably my mistake. Now I try to play as many charity concerts as possible, record free music CDs that I send to music schools all over the country. And I really like it. It's what gives me an incentive to be creative and makes me happy.

Does your famous surname help or hinder you more?
Of course, now I have my own career, my own name, and I can no longer say whether my surname interferes with me or not. But ten years ago it seemed to me that it was insanely disturbing. Although... I had certain traditions in my family, I grew up on the records of my grandfather. True, he died when I was four years old, I hardly remember him. But nevertheless, I had his notes, with his notes, and this is worth a lot. Negative, of course, was also present. Since childhood, I had a sufficient number of ill-wishers, envious people. Many treated me with prejudice: not knowing me, they no longer loved me. They looked at me more closely, they looked at me as if under a magnifying glass: “The grandson of that same Kogan!” What was forgiven to others - some mistakes, inaccuracies, roughness - was not forgiven to me. And I had, in fact, not only to justify the name, but also to exceed expectations. And I must say, it was quite difficult to live with the feeling that you owe something to someone all the time. From childhood I grew up in a state of wild responsibility.


Were you an obedient child as a child?

No, I was a terrible child - very playful and disorganized. ( Smiling.) Mom was constantly called to school. Now, of course, I cannot afford to be the way I was when I was a child - now I am a slave to my schedule, which is made up by my assistants. Imagine, I know what I will do on April 15 or March 22 next year. But the worst thing is that I don’t know what my mood will be, for example, on December 25th. Maybe on this day it will snow, the sky will be covered with clouds, I will not have inspiration and I will not want to pick up a violin. And on this day I have a concert scheduled at the Berlin Philharmonic. And like it or not, but you will need to pull yourself together and play the concert well. Not because I have to do it by contract, but for the sake of the public. That is, I do not actually belong to myself! ( Smiling.)

Dmitry, how do you usually prepare for a performance?
Before, it seemed to me that on the day of the concert I should sleep well, eat chicken soup with noodles, then play right, tune in, drink tea with sugar, and then the concert will definitely go well. But then I realized that all this does not affect the concert. You can perfectly prepare yourself, but the concert will not go very smoothly. And you can immediately go on stage after a nine-hour flight and play a concert wonderfully. The stage works wonders. You never know how you will play, it is impossible to predict.

Dmitry, do you like silence?
It is my problem. I am very rarely at home, almost all the time I live in hotels, and it is very difficult with silence there. I need it, but I cannot isolate myself from society.

Was it difficult for me to play in a tent at the North Pole? No, not especially. It is much more difficult to play in some of our concert halls outside the pole...

Making music is wonderful, but you don’t have to torture children.

The performance in the underground passage gave me a lesson. I realized that it is impossible to listen to art casually.

About criticism

As my friend Petrov said, a critic is not a profession, it is a professional tragedy.

Resentment is the lot of weak people or beautiful girls. And I am neither

About the public

Why hide, the public is the best teacher. This is an indicator in the life of a person of art.

I see my work as a missionary. It is similar to what the church does so that people come to temples. And I want people to come and listen to classical music.

I do not divide the audience into professional and non-professional. For me, every listener is valuable.

For me, a victory if ten people leave the hall with a desire to come again

About concerts

My grandmother said: delicious borsch is obtained when there is a little bit of everything. This is how I build the concert, a little bit of everything. So that every listener leaves happy.

There has never been a concert with which I would be one hundred percent satisfied. If I'm 50 percent happy, that's good.

About violin

My hands are not safe. Because if something happens to my hands, then the money will not be of value to me. I can't imagine how I can live without a violin
