I am studying with Michlin nowadays in the university, i hope i will play like him someday! This recording was so long ago tho, now he is 75 years old, but he still plays so amazingly well!
I am from Belgium. The Concours Reine Elisabeth is still very alive here. And Michlin is not forgotten, he simply vanished behind the iron curtain , as so many other wonderfull Rusian musician who came to play in the concours. They never got the permission to leave the country.
I have to say that he indeed left the country. He's been living in Spain for a very long time now, and I've been so fortunate to be his pupil for 4 wonderful years. The most amazing violin playing i've ever seen.
@Bautisnemo He actually lives and teaches in Oviedo (Asturias), a town in the North of the country. He is a teacher at the "Eduardo Martínez Torner" Conservatory.
The best performance of this passacaglia ever made. I have more recordings of Alexei Michlin´s performance and simply the best violinist of XX century. I´m a pupil of A.Michlin and i know what i say...
what i know is what to say to you: why havent you uploaded that material yet??, to let the world listen the as much as possible of that great violinist that is our beloved teacher ;)
He was beyond awesome!!!!!! Everything I have ever heard him play has made my jaw drop. You are so lucky to have known him and studied under him. Treasure those memories.
Oistrakh is Oistrakh and Michlin is Michlin- Don't dare to compare them! First because they are two different people and second because Michlin has 10 times more heart in his music, no matter how wonderful Oistrakh was in his technique. Don't make what you think is an obvious comment if you have no ear to make an opinion yourself... Clean up your ears and learn!
Dear Best Song Writer ( boy I would love to hear your songs but then again there are too many ugly sounds already in the world ) It is a shame when amateurs such as yourself try to argue with professionals instead of realizing your lack of musical knowledge and taste . Indeed Michlin cannot be compared to Oistrakh , in fact no-one can ! Try a brain operation , it might help ! With deepest respect .
The best musician I have met in my entire life, like a father for me I feel blessed because he was the one who taught me how to live for the music.
