The Russian violinist Dmitri Kogan died today at 38, of cancer.

An international performer with many recordings to his credit, Dmitri was a member of Russian’s most prolific musical dynasty. He was the grandson of the violinists Leonid Kogan and Elizaveta Gilels, herself the sister of the pianist Emil Gilels.

His father is the conductor Pavel Kogan.

Our sympathies to the bereaved family.

UPDATE: Dmitri is remembered for his charity.
