Honored Artist of Russia, famous violinist Dmitry Kogan passed away last Tuesday. Relatives, colleagues, fans admit: a bright and insanely talented person, a true master of his craft, has left. He struggled with a serious illness for a long time, but continued to work hard and did not leave the stage until his last strength.
Kogan was called indefatigable in creativity, he was an adornment of any orchestra and everyone's favorite. And also - one of the four violinists in the world who play 24 caprices for violin solo by Niccolo Paganini, which at one time were declared unplayable. Dmitry is the third generation of the famous Kogan family, he was part of a 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, and his mother is pianist Lyubov Kazinskaya.
The musician had a special relationship with Ossetia. His mother, Lyubov Vladimirovna, is half Ossetian; she raised a talented son, sacrificing her career for him. Dmitry has repeatedly performed in our republic with concerts - for the first time in 1997 with the symphony orchestra of the State Philharmonic, 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 death of a musician was a real blow, a tragedy in the art world.
Ex-Minister of Culture, Dean of the Faculty of Journalism of SOGU Fatima Khabalova shared her memories with Slovo, emphasizing that she was always fascinated by Dmitry's talent. Fatima Soslanbekovna is the second cousin of Lyubov Kazinskaya, and she knew Dmitry Kogan as a child. According to her, in addition to a kindred, they were also united by a spiritual connection with Dmitry.
“Lyuba, his mother, once told me when Dima was very small, for some reason he eschewed everything connected with music, but then he became so carried away that they could not take away the violin from him. At the age of seven, Dima had a violin under his chin a pigment spot formed, that's how the boy literally grew together with a musical instrument and did not let go of it."
From the official biography it is known that 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 - with an orchestra in the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory. In 1997, the musician made his debut in the UK and the USA. He has performed in concert halls in 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 of Elena Kadiyeva-Tomaeva - Dmitry Kogan's grandmother - ed.) - he was still very young, but already a virtuoso. Sibelius, he was conducted by Pavel Yadykh, who, of course, appreciated the boy right away. Dima really was a very talented and bright musician. About the concerts that I had a chance 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 the illness of his great-nephew last year. "We hoped for foreign clinics in Germany, Israel, where Dima was treated, but they were 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 implement a lot of creative projects in a very short time. And what heights could he still achieve?” .
Fatima Khabalova also spoke about her plans, which, unfortunately, did not come true. There was a preliminary agreement with Dmitry Kogan about the musician's arrival in Ossetia in autumn for the festival "Visiting Larisa Gergieva".
“We even discussed the repertoire with him, but, alas, fate decreed otherwise,” says Fatima Soslanbekovna.
The artistic director of the State Opera and Ballet Theater of North Ossetia-Alania, Larisa Abisalovna, was sincerely upset over the untimely death of the great musician and expressed her condolences to the Kogan family.
By the will of the same fate, the thread of Koganov was interrupted on Dmitry, he was married to Ksenia Chilingarova (daughter of the famous polar explorer, hero of Russia Artur Chilingarov - ed.), but there were no children in the marriage.
The eminent violinist was buried at the Troekurovsky cemetery in Moscow.
