Acclaimed performer, psychiatrist, and lecturer Richard Kogan assembled his usual team at Dubway last month for a new lecture-recital on the music of Frédéric Chopin. The piece, which was filmed at the Curtis M. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, is out now and can be viewed above.
Producer Thomas Mowrey.
Dr. Kogan and his longtime producer-collaborator Thomas Mowrey–an extraordinary classical producer with a long career at Deutsche Grammaphon and Decca–have created a series of these visual documents with the Dubway team, which transport the viewer into Kogan’s engrossing lecture-recitals on the psychology of famous composers in the Western art-music canon. Previous entries in the series have covered Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Bernstein (an artist Mowrey worked with on numerous occasions) Mozart, and more, with Kogan’s masterful playing at the emotional core of each performance.
Dubway editor and engineer Pascal McGilvray-Guard edited the video, and engineer Keenan DuBois handled all sound duties for the studio.
Dr. Kogan has presented his programs on the psychological origins of musical creativity at some of the world’s most prestigious venues, including the World Economic Forum in Davos and Rockefeller University, in New York.
