Nearly all great violinists of the 20th Century had Russian roots, whether they were Jews or not. However, most were also Jews. The western Europeans not so much - Francescatti, Grumiaux, Ferras, Thibaud, etc.
leonid kogan, a great violinist through the 19th~20th century, from his strings, definitely it is a dull way and pessimist view to this world, probably this is why kogan understands Paganini so well, for kogan did not only understand Paganini, but he interpreted Paganini's feelings and emotions, and brought Paganini back to this live show, in front of the audience!
