ok so this is definitely a little sooner than i expected to post again, but one of my absolute musical heroes is on youtube, and i cant wait for the usual flood of adulation and rose petals to be spread upon my blogging doorstep before sharing this with you.
brace yourselves.
so i played the violin for many years, and despite the fact that i quit when i decided that the electric bass was cooler (because i was at the time what modern retro-internet-engineers refer to as a "douchebag"), i still have one beacon of classical violin performance that has been a specific touchstone in everything i have valued in expressive musicianship ever since. Leonid Kogan is the greatest musician of the 20th century. Oh yeah, no, I know that you think that this is a bold claim, but shut up and listen.
