	Norbert Brainin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Norbert Brainin, (March 12, 1923 – April 10, 2005), was the first violinist of the Amadeus Quartet, one of the world's most highly regarded string quartets.
		Because of Brainin's Jewish origin, he was driven out of Vienna after Hitler's Anschluss of 1938, as were the violinist Siegmund Nissel and violist Peter Schidlof.
		Brainin and Schidlof met in a British internment camp, many Jewish refugees having had the misfortune of being confined by the British as "enemy aliens" upon seeking refuge in the UK Brainin was released after a few months, but Schidlof remained in the camp, where he met Nissel.

	Guardian \| Norbert Brainin
		As a child in Vienna, Brainin was given a quarter-sized violin for his seventh birthday, a present inspired by the Viennese debut of the 13-year-old Yehudi Menuhin.
		Brainin still nurtured his ideal of becoming a soloist, and entered and won the gold medal in the Carl Flesch competition in 1946.
		Brainin was the instinctive child in his jokes, vehemences, appetites (including football - he would practise in front of a televised match with the sound turned down) and accidents.

	Norbert Brainin interview
		Brainin: But this dictum of his, is true for all music—for composition as well as for performance.
		Brainin: Yes, and therefore the last “early” quartet, written before this Quartet Movement, was the above-mentioned one in E Major, in 1817.
		Brainin: If I might be permitted to put it this way: Most quartets’ interpretations of it have been wrong: they have sentimentalized tit.

	Norbert Brainin Concert Program June 6, 1990
		Brainin's June concert in Washington, sponsored by the Schiller Institute, will be the first purely instrumental concert in the U.S. for the movement to set the International Standard Pitch at Middle C-256 (which gives an A of about 432 Hz), which has gained hundreds of prominent signators among musicians internationally.
		Besides fighting for artistic truth, Norbert Brainin, who, because of his Jewish origin, was forced to flee his native Vienna in 1938 and emigrate to England, where he later started his career as one of the world's leading chamber musicians, is also known for his support for human rights and freedom.
		Brainin and his quartet performed more than 4,000 concerts in all parts of the world, especially in Western Europe and the United States, recorded all classical masterpieces many times, and were awarded countless honors, including the Order of the British Empire and the Bundesverdienstkreuz, the highest order of the Federal Republic of Germany.

	Guardian \| Letter: Norbert Brainin
		The violinist Norbert Brainin (obituary, April 11) - and thus the Amadeus Quartet - enjoyed a close association with Benjamin Britten.
		Brainin and Amadeus violist Peter Schidlof appeared as soloists under Britten's baton in Mozart's Sinfonia concertante in E flat in 1967, another performance preserved on CD.
		To many in the audience, Brainin's exquisite rendering of the slow movement offered a cathartic threnody to the absent composer.

		Performed by English Chamber Orchestra with Norbert Brainin, Sviatoslav Teofilovich Richter, Peter Schidlof
		Brainin and Schidlof's playing of the Concertante, 15 years after their lovely youthful first recording, sounds even better, as does the orchestra, and is just as brilliant and expressive.
		Britten undoubtedly influenced the interpretive differences between the two performances but, though some of the changes create more depth and contrast, he is not in complete agreement with his soloists.

		Heroes of the LP era, they made their first recording for DG in 1951 and recorded over 100 works for the label over the next three decades, central among them this Beethoven cycle from the early 1960s, now remastered and re-issued as a budget priced collector1s edition.
		The Amadeus had an unmistakable sound, medium in weight, refined and well-blended with one significant exception, the expressive gestures of leader Norbert Brainin, whose vibrato and portamento exceeded that of his colleagues, providing the group's most pronounced and endearing idiosyncracy.
		While their delicacy lent itself most readily to the early quartets, they prove most stimulating in the Razumovskys (they were the first to record them in stereo) and are effective, understated guides to the mysteries of the late quartets.
