With this Edition we commemorate the work of the violinist Oleg Kagan who for us, was one of the greatest performing musicians we have ever known. In fact, it was his tragic death and his poor representation on records that prompted the foundation of the new label Live Classics. One of the first releases in 1991 was Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time recorded in 1984, followed now in the Edition by a collection of earlier and later performances. Part of the tragedy of Kagan’s early death lies in the fact that is was only two or three years ago, at the very end of his life and when he was already extremely ill, that audiences, and indeed agents, began to understand what a remarkable artist he was. There are several reasons for this inadequate recognition of Kagan’s stature and importance. The most obvious one is simply the fact that, like so many performers of his generation, he spent a good number of years trapped inside the Soviet Union and unable to travel abroad. Maria E. Michel-Beyerle

Among the recent collections dedicated to the art of contemporary violinists there is no doubt that the Kagan Edition belongs to the most original and the richest ones since it comprises exclusively recordings of unpublished concerts. These concerts offer ample opportunity to appreciate the talent of one of the most eminent Russian players in the strings in post-war times. Diapason 4/98 |
