Violinist Leonid Kogan performs Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto in D Major along with the Paris Conservatoire Orchestra conducted by Constantin Silvestri.

These two works are closely connected and it is interesting to have them recorded together. Both date from the year 1878, when Tchaikovsky had fled abroad after his abortive marriage and was staying with his brother Modest on the Lake of Geneva. Visiting them was Yosif Yosifovich Kotek, a student from Tchaikovsky’s composition class at the Moscow Conservatoire, who had also distinguished himself in the violin class. They had previously played together Brahms’ first symphony, which Tchaikovsky found ‘dark, cold and pretentious’. At Clarens, however, they found Lalo’s “Symphonie Espagnole” much more to their taste and it was his enthusiasm for this music that caused the composer to drop his work on the G Major piano sonata and embark on the violin concerto.
