"The most nearly perfect violinist of his time" The story of Nathan Milstein by Loke Hoe-Yeong Nathan Milstein (1903 - 1992) was called the "prince of the violin" (and at one time, the "prince of the bow"). Harold Schonberg, in his obituary of Milstein published in The New York Times , wrote his famous line, "He could well have been the most nearly perfect violinist of his time". However, the name Milstein is rarely mentioned or known among the music-listening public. Which is a sad thing considering the esteem and admiration professional violinists and musicians alike then and now hold for him. But this problem can be easily explained; Milstein was a not "commercial" musician who could "sell". Rather, he was repelled by the demands of celebrity and never indulged much in publicity. The little-known fact is that Milstein's career is the longest ever in the history of violin playing - 72 years, from his official debut playing the Glazunov concerto with the composer conducting(!) in 1915, to his final concert in 1987 playing the Beethoven concerto with the New York Philharmonic, conducted by Erich Leinsdorf. Some time after his final concert, the violinist broke his arm, bring his career to an abrupt halt. A pity, considering that the healthy musician's career could have been ever longer!

Out of his two sisters and four brothers, Milstein mentioned his sister Sara, who played the piano. He got his first musical impressions through his mother Marija, who took Nathan to a concert of Jascha Heifetz, in 1911 already a famous violinist and "Wunderkind". Important events and quotes "Mother organized violin lessons for me in order to prevent me from thrashing the children of our neighbors" After first lessions with a student, Milstein was accepted to the classes of Pyotr Stoljarsky at the age of 7 years. Later Milstein remembered, that he did not like playing the violin, although during these years great masters such as Jan Kubelik or Eugene Ysaye gave regular concerts in Odessa. The year 1915 markes a change: He became much interested in playing the violin and on the invitation of Stoljarsky Milstein played the Concert of Alexander Glazunov on the occasion of the 50th birthday of the composer. A. Glazunov himself directed the orchestra.

h o m e a r t d i s c o g r a p h y f o r u m While not having the time and energy to do research of my own, I can only excerpt what others have written about Mr. Milstein. Until I have more materials, the follows will have to suffice. Beginning of excerpt by David Foil On November 5, 1979, in the pleasant autumn of his long and miraculous career, Nathan Milstein played a recital at Carnegie Hall as he had done for dozens of New York Seasons. This particular evening was like many others in Milstein's experience. Someone who was present called it a "a fiddlers' convention." "Everybody seemed to be there," the critic Harold C. Schonberg noted in his review in The New York Times , "from Joseph Fuchs and Itzhak Perlman down to every orchestra violinist in town who had a free night, and every young violinist out of Juilliard, Curtis, or wherever." They were there, of course, to savor Milstein's still glowing and amazingly vital artistry. They were also there to pay homage. For the twilight of Milstein's career, however sublime, was inevitably the twilight of the golden age: here, it seemed, was the last magnificent exponent of the "Russian" school of violin playing that reached its zenith in the virtuosos who emerged, just after the turn of the 20th century, from the St. Petersburg studio of the violinist and teacher Leopold Auer. By 1979, Milstein was the only one of them still performing. Jascha Heifetz had retired, with typical aplomb, into an imperial silence. Mischa Elman, Toscha Seidel, and Efrem Zimbalist were dead. A dozen other extraordinary but lesser known Auer pupils had become quaint memories. Milstein alone remained and, on that night in 1979, he could still make transcendent drama of the

Ludwig van BEETHOVEN Violin Concerto in D major, op.61 Johannes BRAHMS Violin Concerto in D major, op.77 NATHAN MILSTEIN violin Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra conducted by William Steinberg EMI Classics Full Dimensional Sound 5 66550-2 [74:57] mid-price Mono recording by Roy Chan My first encounter with Nathan Milstein happened a few years ago when I purchased his 1973 recording of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto. I was captivated by the playing of the soloist right from the start; glowingly sweet and full of mundane feelings yet always sublime and never over-romantised. There was also a smoothness and cosy warmth which I never found (and indeed has yet to find) in others. I was overwhelmed. Since then I have always kept a keen lookout for any recording of his. So when EMI reissued this mid-50s monoaural recording of Beethoven 's and Brahms' Violin Concertos on compact disc, I snapped it up without thinking; and I was not disappointed. Beethoven wrote his only violin concerto in 1806 which was duly premiered in the same year by Franz Clement, principal violinist of the Theatre an der Wein, who, back then, was a popular figure with the audience. It is primarily not a virtuosic piece, though immensely technically demanding; instead it is one that is noble, lyrical and serene with none of the heroic struggle as in his Third or Fifth Symphonies. In spite of being only fairly received by critics and audience initially, it slowly established itself in the concert repertoire and is now regarded as a touchstone of every violinist's art.

The later 1953 recital is a standard post-War Sonata programme – Beethoven op 24 and Brahms op 108 along with the Bach Partita in D Minor. In a sense then this brace of recordings documents the changing patina of the violin recital as it moved from the predictable but still relatively elastic traditions of Baroque opener, Romantic Concerto and lighter sweetmeats to the heavyweight three Sonata line-up.
