He's already retired from singing, but has been doing some recital roles (for record and on stage). You are lucky to have that lieder collection at home - priceless examples of the greatest Lied singing of the last century (and this one, so far).
Kagan, the greatest of Soviet/Russian violinists of the post-Oistrakh era, was a true and complete artist very much in the same vein as Richter (he died tragically in 1990). For a number of reason most of his recordings are only available through the priceless Live Classics "Kagan Edition" imprint and mostly in Europe, I'd guess, and given that they are rather unofficial tapings derived from intimate occasions at off-the-beaten-path venues, the sound quality is never flattering. Just prior to his death he recorded one of the most moving and perfect performances of the Bach sonatas and partitas, which came out on Erato and is today reissued on one of those superbudget Warner Elatus twofers.Gutman, the master cellist of our era, was his wife and is thankfully still recording today.
