	Nathan Milstein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nathan Milstein (Odessa December 31, 1903 – December 21, 1992, London) was a Russian-Jewish born violinist who took United States citizenship in 1942 after spending much of his life there.
		Milstein made his American debut in 1929 with Stokowski and the Philadelphia Orchestra.
		Milstein was also a transcriber and composer, arranging many works for violin and writing his own cadenzas for many concertos.

		Nathan Milstein (Odessa December 31, 1903 – December 21, 1992, London) was a Russian-Jewish born violinist who took United States citizenship in 1942 after spending much of his life there.
		Milstein was also a composer, arranging many works for violin and writing his own cadenzas for many concertos.
		Milstein was renown for his interpretation of the more orthodoxical Italian, German and Viennese classical works by Bach, Tartini, Mendelssohn, Dvorak and Goldmark, while Heifetz exceled at the late Romantics and Russian warhorses of Bruch, Brahms, Sibelius, Tchaikowsky, and Prokoviev.

	Nathan Milstein - His Life
		Milstein alone remained and, on that night in 1979, he could still make transcendent drama of the Chaconne of the Bach D minor Partita, and he could still find the subtle, sophisticated tension in the Frank A major Sonata.
		The desire to pay Milstein the ultimate compliment, for instance, runs headlong into the formidable fact of Heifetz, and it illustrates the folly of words such as "best" or "greatest." The violinist and teacher Boris Schwarz believed that it was "only a quirk of fate" that Heifetz's renown so outstripped Milstein's.
		Milstein never saw the need to share that with the public, and he was appalled by the demands of modern celebrity.

	Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin by Nathan Milstein at jsbach.org
		Nathan Milstein, well his technique wasn't as good as Heifetz but I swear to God that Heifetz's Tone Quality can NEVER compare with Milstein's.
		Milstein's last recording of Bach's Sonatas and Partitas is definitely one of the best recordings of J.S. Bach and Nathan Milstein.
		Milstein's DG recording is preferable to the EMI one for clarity and stereo effect.

	INKPOT#79 CLASSICAL MUSIC FEATURE: Nathan Milstein - An Inktroduction and Tribute
		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.
		He was born Nathan Mironovich Milstein on 31 December 1903 (frequently mistaken to be 31 December 1904; Milstein himself claimed he was born in 1903) in Odessa, Ukraine, a city on the Black Sea, fourth child of seven, to a middle-class Jewish family with virtually no musical background (unlike Heifetz, to cite an example).
		At age 82, Nathan Milstein gave a recital which was to be his last (but he did not expect it to be so) in Stockholm.

		Nathan Milstein's long career was a triumphant exception to the rule that violinists lose their powers as they age.
		Milstein's ornamentation and harmony wander far afield from Liszt's original, but the composer would probably have approved all the changes when played with such conviction and passionate sentiment.
		Nathan Milstein is one of the best violinists in the 20th century.

	SoundStage! Nathan Milstein - Bach
		Nathan Milstein was part of that generation of great Russian musicians born around the turn of the century and who left the fledgling Soviet Union in the 1920s.
		Or, inevitably, the monumental, stately tragic dance that is the famous chaconne from the Second Partita -- one of the veritable peaks of the solo violin repertoire and, at 13:39, nearly 25% of the entire disc.
		Milstein's superb technique also means that his bowing never obstructs the pulse of the music, something that can be easily heard in other performances where there are tiny adjustments of the tempo to accommodate a technique less accomplished than his.

	Nathan Milstein – Artur Balsam. The 1953 Library of Congress Recital [JW]: Classical CD Reviews- Oct 2002 ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		In 1953 the sound is rather recessed and cramped with Milstein’s tone given an acerbic edge and Balsam emerging, probably unfairly, clangourous.
		By 1953 Milstein was playing a solid trio of masterworks with its central panel one of his great strengths, a Bach Partita, the D Minor with the concluding Chaconne.
		Along with the earlier Bridge recital, from 1946, Milstein is caught in his mature glory, inconsistent maybe in places, but always unignorable and a beacon of sanity, insight and command.

	SoundStage! Nathan Milstein - Bach
		Milstein was to record the complete sonatas and partitas on more than one occasion and continued playing them -- both entirely and individual movements -- until the end of his career.
		By the time he made these recordings, Milstein had been studying and playing this music for almost four decades, and it shows in the depth of feeling and understanding that are manifest in every bar.
		Milstein's chaconne is bold and dramatic -- listen to those slashing chords from 0:30 followed by an almost zigeuner (i.e., gypsy) double-stopped portamento at around 0:50.

		Milstein was a contemporary of Jascha Heifetz, and, like Heifetz, was Russian-born, taught by Leopold Auer and emigrated to the USA.
		Milstein's Dvorak and Glazunov concerto recordings, both part of this set, continue to be peerless.
		Dvorak may not be as fiery as the young Yehudi Menuhin or Johanna Martzy, but Milstein surpasses them in terms of superb articulation and purity of intonation.

		The Adagio is rather attractive and unusually expressive for Milstein’s Mozart and in the finale his portamanti sound far more natural as he imparts some colour and nuance into the line.
		Milstein decorates his line with piquant and very quick slides and imparts a silvery elegance to the first movement.
		Milstein bows lightly, precisely, his vibrato beautifully modulated and capable of subtle variations of speed and pressure, as always.

		The train circling the track in the darkness was magnificent, and one night it caught the fancy of violinist Nathan Milstein, who on the spot pledged to paint the mountains of Switzerland on the three walls of the alcove where the train table stood.
		Nathan was a gifted watercolorist, so I knew a mural by him would make my train the most wondrous in the entire world.
		Over a period of years, Nathan’s mural was completed and signed by the artist, and my trains — even if they interested me less as I grew older — circled the plywood table covered with grass and miniature shrubs and trees, throwing tiny bits of light on the gorgeous mural painted by Nathan Milstein.

		Live Milstein recitals continue to be issued, retrieved from the vaults of broadcast companies, private institutions and other sources.
		Milstein though is immediately communicative, embellishing his line with tasteful portamenti, quick and elegant, and adding expressive finger intensifications.
		Rattalino’s essay on Milstein is certainly one of the more idiosyncratic things I’ve read in a good while — anyone who claims to hear "neurosis" in Milstein’s playing plainly needs help (perhaps the translation is at fault).

	Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin by Nathan Milstein at jsbach.org
		Nathan Milstein's EMI set of the Bach Sonatas and Partitas is yet another example of the 'crunchy' school of Bach playing popular in the 40s and 50s.
		Milstein makes no attempt to soften the effect of the huge double-stopping passages in the fugues, and the slower prelude movements of the sonatas sound uncomfortably rushed.
		I originally purchased an album set from the DG label of the 1970 trecordings that Milstein performed, and it is interesting to hear the differences between the two versions.
