	Mischa Elman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mischa Elman (January 20, 1891 – April 5, 1967) was a Ukrainian-born violinist, famed for his passionate style and the beauty of his tone.
		In 1903, Elman began to play concerts in the homes of wealthy patrons of the arts, and he made his Berlin debut in 1904, creating a great sensation.
		Elman died on April 5, 1967 in New York City.

		Elman was raised in poverty in a small Jewish community that was rich in spiritual education and fostered his artistry from a young age.
		Mischa Elman’s father, Saul Elman, was a Hebrew scholar, teacher and merchant, and not a musician himself, and was initially apprehensive about supporting his son’s musical pursuits because of the musician’s traditionally low status in the Jewish community.
		Elman’s playing was unrivaled in its tonal splendor, passion and poetic feeling, and he astounded the world with his ability to interpret important pieces of violin music with sensitivity and sensuality that no violinist had ever before been able to capture.

		Potter credits Elman as the man who "initiated and inspired the wave of superb Jewish violinists who poured out of the East European ghettos in the first quarter of [the twentieth] century." On the evidence of these recordings he certainly lacked Heifetz’s steely virtuosity and panache.
		The first movement as a whole is almost gentle in Elman’s hands; it is certainly poetic but after a while I began to crave more urgency and fire in the playing.
		Elman’s performance of the Sérénade Mélancolique is similar to his account of the concerto’s slow movement.

		Mischa Elman signed a contract with Vanguard that led to six LP recordings during the last decade of his life.
		Elman still has some pungent things to say in Schumann’s Prophet Bird but for all his fervour here, as elsewhere, it’s inevitable that one chooses instead to remember the violinistic titan whose incendiary tone inspired two generations of violinists and enchanted countless admirers around the world.
		Whatever cavils there are to be made regarding Elman’s playing Vanguard couldn’t have done much better to perpetuate their valuable series of discs and to keep alive the last recordings of a mould breaking musician.

		Mischa Elman (1891-1967) was the ﬁrst of the many Russian-Jewish violinists to dominate violin playing in the 20th century.
		By the time Elman made his New York début playing the Tchaikovsky Concerto in 1908 he was regarded as one of the premier violinists of the day.
		Elman often opened his recital programmes with one of them, and his heartfelt interpretations eloquently convey the grandeur and nobility so characteristic of Handel?s music.

		And so started the career of Mischa Elman, destined to become one of the greatest violinists of the XX century.
		Some years later, Mischa Elman's playing with its unrivalled tonal splendour, passion and poetic feeling would astound the world.
		Consequently, Mischa Elman is little remembered today, while some of his contemporaries are still held in great (and not always justified) esteem.

	Mischa Elman sound
		Elman probably struggled with the physical aspects of playing, given that he was a small man. Couldn't have been good for joints...
		Elman was a gut string player for many years, and I am wondering if the combination of gut with Stradivari had the same deafening impact on him that it would have on me today.
		RE Elman's (?1963) Beethoven concerto recording, my feeling was he was so far past his best, inc. on intonation, that out of respect to this wonderful violinist it is better to let it rest and focus on his earlier recordings.

	Leonard Link: Mischa Elman Mystery Disc
		One of the highly acclaimed violinists of the first half of the 20th century was Mischa Elman, born 1891 in the Kiev region of Little Russia (today Ukraine).
		Elman studied violin at the Royal Academy in Odessa and joined the burgeoning ranks of Russian-Jewish violinsts who came to dominate the classical music world his time - think Jascha Heifetz, Nathan Milstein, Yehudi Menuhin, Isaac Stern...
		Elman was considered almost without peer in the romantic 19th century violin repertory, and had a particular soft spot for music with Jewish roots, but somehow he was never considered quite the equal of Heifetz in technique or Menuhin in intellect.

		Mischa Elman's prime years in the late teens and early 1920s were overshadowed by the arrival of Jascha Heifetz, who ushered in the modern violin era virtually overnight.
		Thus when Elman signed on with Decca in 1954 his reputation was more that of a relic than an icon.
		Yet time lends perspective, and the recordings he made for the label with pianist Joseph Seiger reveal Elman's artistry to be quite engaging and serious, his technique up to par and his celebrated tone still huge, resonant, and communicative.

		"These are the complete Decca recordings of Mischa Elman, made from the spring of 1954 to the fall of 1956.
		Their significance is that they are the earliest and perhaps the only accurate recordings of Elman’s tone.These recordings give the best account of the sound of the man who revolutionized everyone’s concept of violin tone, early in the 20th Century.Elman had a miraculously beautiful tone the likes of which no one had ever heard before.
		It was a tone of great depth, fullness, sweetness, and plasticity.Elman’s sound was like a living being, and Elman was the conjurer who could make it appear at will.

	Elman Plays Hebrew Melodies - Mischa Elman, violin/ Joseph Seiger, piano - Vanguard
		Among the distinguished pupils of legendary pedagogue Leopold Auer is Mischa Elman (1891-1967), whose talent I witnessed only once, at Lewisohn Stadium in New York, where he performed both Mendelssohn and Tchaikovsky Concertos with Alfredo Antonini.
		In the case of his attachment to Hebrew melodies and arranged chants, this propensity for exaggerated emotion proves an asset, as in the familiar Nigun from Bloch's Baal Shem Suite.
		Elman can project a rarified simplicity as well, evident in the tender pathos of Lavry's Yemenite Wedding from the composer's Three Jewish Dances.

		Elman left RCA after some 40 years' service, complaining that that company's favorite, Jascha Heifetz, was monopolizing the sonata repertory, with a young Henryk Szeryng's quickly coming on the RCA horizon.
		Never a technical marvel, Elman played for emotion and ardent phrasing, pressing heavily on the bow for added vibrato and freely flexing rhythms with portamenti and slides that made glaring syrup of pieces that others played as lean machines.
		Elman plays Brahms in a Viennese, Jewish style that is both anachronistic and charming, especially in the A Major Sonata.

	Interview with Mischa Elman - ViolinMP3.com
		To hear Mischa Elman on the concert platform, to listen to him play, "with all that wealth of tone, emotion and impulse which places him in the very foremost rank of living violinists," should be joy enough for any music lover.
		To talk with him in his own home, however, gives one a deeper insight into his art as an interpreter; and in the pleasant intimacy of familiar conversation the writer learned much that the serious student of the violin will be interested in knowing.
		We all know that Elman, when he plays in public, moves his head, moves his body, sways in time to the music; in a word there are certain mannerisms associated with his playing which critics have on occasion mentioned with grave suspicion, as evidences of sensationalism.

		In continental Europe, the most ancient recorded family crest was discovered upon the monumental effigy of a Count of Wasserburg in the church of St. Emeran, at Ratisobon, Germany...
		In the Elman coat of arms as in all coat of arms the crest is only one element of the full armorial achievement.

		He knew about my interest in players from earlier eras, and he had a pretty good idea of how exciting it would be to me to see Mischa Elman, Efrem Zimbalist, Nathan Milstein, Joseph Szigeti, Ginette Neveu, Fritz Kreisler, Eugène Ysaÿe in action -- and he was right.
		I loved Elman -- not only in the little pieces, but also in [the] concertos -- and Heifetz was always exciting.
		I completely wore out a tape of Grumiaux playing the six sonatas of Handel, and my teacher from the age of ten, Jascha Brodsky, studied with both Ysaÿe and Zimbalist and used to tell me stories about them and their contemporaries.

		While there were close equivalents between the two institutions — Bach solos for each one, for example — violinists tended to be somewhat later in their focus and had a less strict sense of programming.
		In 1910, for example, Mischa Elman (1891—1967) gave an early recital with an interesting avoidance of the chronology that was so common among pianists:
		Putting Brahms in so early, followed by Goetz, and ending with the Lalo (a quite fascinating composer, indeed) was a pattern not found often among pianists.
