@bludgerable I think it is important to appreciate different forms of musical genre because there are many universals that cut across - rhythm, melody, emotion, etc. Rock music, especially heavy metal, is louder and more coarse for sure, but the compliment of different instrumentals providing harmony, melody, and rhythm for vocals can potentially be sublime. Just listen to the Ozzy Tribute album with guitarist Randy Rhoads, a personal idol of mine!
@stupidstorm You're right, my comment was inappropriate. He added a technically perfect and an original rendition that some people like, and that is the important fact. ++
@Pufihead yea, the notes are simple enough, but it takes quite a bit of work for the song to sound, as my teacher puts it, beautiful. Back to practicing it now.....
i love playing this song on my violin, however with the extra ending bit . its a joy to learn such a beautiful piece of music, even though it taking me a long time to learn :)
Widely considered one of the finest violinists of the 20th century, Milstein was known for his interpretations of Bach's solo violin works and for works from the Romantic period. He was also known for his long career: he performed at a high level into his mid 80s, retiring only after suffering a broken hand.
He was born in Odessa, then part of the Russian Empire (now in Ukraine), the fourth child of seven, to a middle-class Jewish family with virtually no musical background.
It was a concert by the 11-year-old Jascha Heifetz that inspired his parents to make a violinist out of Milstein. As a child (of seven years old), he started violin studies (as suggested by his parents, to keep him out of mischief) with the eminent violin pedagogue Pyotr Stolyarsky, also the teacher of renowned violinist David Oistrakh.
Every little boy who had the dream of playing better than the other boy wanted to go to Auer. He was a very gifted man and a good teacher. I used to go to the Conservatory twice a week for classes. I played every lesson with forty or fifty people sitting and listening. Two pianos were in the classroom and a pianist accompanied us. When Auer was sick, he would ask me to come to his home.
Milstein may in fact have been the last of the great Russian violinists to have had personal contact with Auer. Auer did not name Milstein in his memoirs but mentions "two boys from Odessa ... both of whom disappeared after I left St. Petersburg in June 1917." Neither is Milstein's name in the registry of the St Petersburg Conservatory.
Milstein also studied with Eugène Ysaÿe in Belgium. He told film-maker Christopher Nupen, director of Nathan Milstein – A Portrait, that he learned almost nothing from Ysaÿe but enjoyed his company enormously. In a 1977 interview printed in High Fidelity, he said, "I went to Ysaÿe in 1926 but he never paid any attention to me. I think it might have been better this way. I had to think for myself."
Milstein met Vladimir Horowitz and his pianist sister Regina in 1921 when he played a recital in Kiev. They invited him for tea at their parents' home. Milstein later said, "I came for tea and stayed three years." Milstein and Horowitz performed together, as "children of the revolution," throughout the Soviet Union and struck up a life-long friendship. In 1925, they went on a concert tour of Western Europe together.
He made his American debut in 1929 with Leopold Stokowski and the Philadelphia Orchestra. He eventually settled in New York and became an American citizen. He toured repeatedly throughout Europe, maintaining residences in London and Paris.
A transcriber and composer, Milstein arranged many works for violin and wrote his own cadenzas for many concertos. He was obsessed with articulating each note perfectly and would often spend long periods of time working out fingerings which would make passages sound more articulated. One of his best known compositions is Paganiniana, a set of variations on various themes from the works of Niccolò Paganini.
In 1948, his recording of Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto in E minor, with Bruno Walter conducting the New York Philharmonic, had the distinction of being the first catalogue item in Columbia's newly introduced long-playing twelve-inch 33 rpm vinyl records, Columbia ML 4001.
He was awarded the Légion d'honneur by France in 1968, and received a Grammy Award for his recording of Bach's sonatas and partitas in 1975. He was also awarded Kennedy Center honors by US President Ronald Reagan.
A recital he gave in Stockholm in July 1986 proved to be his final performance. This recital was recorded in its in entirety and shows the remarkable condition of his technique at age 82. A fall shortly afterwards in which he severely broke his left hand ended his career.
After playing many different violins in his earlier days, Milstein finally acquired the 1716 "Goldman" Stradivari in 1945 which he used for the rest of his life. He re-named this Stradivari the "Maria Teresa" in honour of his daughter Maria (presently wife of Marchese GiovanAngelo Theodoli-Braschi, Duke of Nemi and Grandee of Spain, descendant from Pope Pius VI) and his wife Therese. He also performed on the 1710 ex-"Dancla" Stradivarius for a short period.
During the late 1980s, Milstein published his memoirs, From Russia to the West, in which he discussed his life of constant performance and socializing.
Milstein discusses the personalities of important composers such as Alexander Glazunov, Sergei Prokofiev, Sergei Rachmaninoff and Igor Stravinsky and conductors such as Arturo Toscanini and Leopold Stokowski, all of whom he knew personally. He also discusses his best friends, pianist Vladimir Horowitz, cellist Gregor Piatigorsky and ballet director George Balanchine, as well as other violinists such as Fritz Kreisler and David Oistrakh.
Milstein also expressed his generally conservative, strongly anti-communist and anti-Soviet political beliefs. Milstein said that President Kennedy was a weak leader, admired President Reagan, and stated that he refused to return to the Soviet Union, even for a tour sponsored by the United States.
Milstein was married twice, remaining married to his second wife, Therese, until his death. He died of a heart attack in London on December 21, 1992, just three weeks before his 89th birthday.

I am relearning to play this song. When I was younger I hated it because I could not play it beautifully. I have since gotten a better violin and perfected my playing. Time to start over!
This was the first song I asked my instructor to let me learn. I am not ashamed to say that the first time I heard Milstein's interpretation, I actually wept at the beauty of his ability to make every note pierce you to the core. I will probably never do it the justice he did, but to this day that is what I will aim for every time I play it.
I learned this piece early on and made a mistake with one note .It haunts me now and always wants to be wrong so many years later. It is not an advanced piece technically but there are so many ways to play it that sometimes confusion takes over. So many ways to be expressive you can get lost in it. This recording is so beautiful.
My mother named me after Jules Massenet's Meditation. People are always asking me the origins of my name. When I was younger I hated it--now I find it unique and being able to listen to this beautiful song I was named after, I understand what my mother was trying to do. Yes world, my name is Thais. :)
Milstein. The master. After many years of listening and comparing, I realized Milstein played with more emotion and feeling than any other violinist I had ever heard. If Milstein recorded it, I have it now. His recording of the Dvorak Violin Concerto has to be the most beautiful violin concerto in the world! Thanks for posting this wonderful Meditation.

I love how there can be so many different emotions expressed in music, particularly this song. In Sarah Chang's version the song is beautiful and elegant. In Itzhak Perlman's version its bright and adventurous. In Anne-Sophie Mutter's rendition it's longing and sad. BUT only in Nathan Milstein's version does the song truly transcend mortality and the world of the mundane to become something so eerily, transcending, ethereal and absolutely perfect.

nhug96--I just listened to Stefanov's recording--it is indeed magnificent. In art there is no better or best, but I can understand picking this as your favorite. I am not familiar with Stefanov, and can find pretty much nothing on the internet about him besides some (audio only) youtube videos. Who, where, when is/was he?
It is indeed beautiful, but my favorite interpretation is from the violinist Valentin Stefanov; he shows so much emotion with his rich vibrato and full but gentle sound. If you have time please listen to his interpretation of Thais Meditation.

The Sol Hurok posters used to say, "Milstein...The 'Master Violinist' (NY Times)." He's always been my favorite - such eloquent and subtle, yet expressive playing, and such a wonderfully pure sound. I used to drive many miles to hear his concerts andI still miss him. This was a treat!
As a trumpet player looking for pieces to borrow from other instruments, I was drawn to this one. But after hearing this, I don't even want to try because I wouldn't be able to do it justice. Such a hauntingly beautiful melody. This has just become my favourite strings piece.
@magnify322 I am sixty-five (65) years old and let me tell you that ANYONE HAS TO PRACTICE this beautiful piece again and again.....Isn't it beautifulllllll!!!
@magnify322 Well, in May I would have exam and now I have learned this melody but if u wanna to play it very beautiful, let's start now, 'cuz later it would be hard to learn :) So, Good luck :D
@outoftunefiddler I did as you suggested and looked this up. Observations:
#1-He's good...but dead (JJ still lives on to enhance her technique!)
#2-The recording quality (or he) is not as good (you can hear his fingers on the strings)
#3-Although his Strad is of earlier vintage, I am of the opinion that JJ's (some 20 years newer or there- abouts) has a richer tone (I am sure the recording equipment is partially the culprit, however)
a beautiful and wonderfully phrased performance..this is such an easy piece to play and such a difficult piece to play so well..thanks from an old guy who was firtunate to have heard Milstein live in his prime in 1961..he was one of the greats
Oops massacred myself by deletion. Love this tune thanks to watching Kim, Yuna via Vancouver Winter Olympics. She did a gala and this tune was emphasized with her mastery over the ice, or vice versa. I fell in love with the tune and scrambled onto You-Tube for more of, "Meditation of Thais" this version by Mr. Milstein certainly pensive and soars. TY for the upload, aimson.
There is something so ethereally beautiful about Milstein's playing that is untouched in my opinion by any other violinist. It is though you can listen to this piece 1,000 times and never feel it tedious. His phrasing is so unique and playing so moving. A master in every sense of the word.
AWESOME! ;-)

@bludgerable I think it is important to appreciate different forms of musical genre because there are many universals that cut across - rhythm, melody, emotion, etc. Rock music, especially heavy metal, is louder and more coarse for sure, but the compliment of different instrumentals providing harmony, melody, and rhythm for vocals can potentially be sublime.

I am not familiar with Stefanov, and can find pretty much nothing on the internet about him besides some (audio only) youtube videos. Who, where, when is/was he?

Massenet 's "Meditation" played by Nathan Milstein, has a special magic charme.
The fusion of this two masters is something unusual that brings the soul to a
poetical inspiration feeling.

It is indeed beautiful, but my favorite interpretation is from the violinist Valentin Stefanov; he shows so much emotion with his rich vibrato and full but gentle sound. If you have time please listen to his interpretation of Thais Meditation.

this is real beauty, and i'd love to play it on the violin. ♥

The Sol Hurok posters used to say, "Milstein...The 'Master Violinist' (NY Times)." He's always been my favorite - such eloquent and subtle, yet expressive playing, and such a wonderfully pure sound. I used to drive many miles to hear his concerts andI still miss him. This was a treat!

As a trumpet player looking for pieces to borrow from other instruments, I was drawn to this one. But after hearing this, I don't even want to try because I wouldn't be able to do it justice. Such a hauntingly beautiful melody. This has just become my favourite strings piece.

It would have been perfect if there's orchestral accompaniment, as the Divertimento is originally scored by Massanet in his opera Thais.

I listened to this for the first time tonite. It is truly lovely. He makes his fiddle sing like an angel! (and it's Massenet, NOT Mussenet)
outoftunefiddler 1 year ago
@outoftunefiddler I did as you suggested and looked this up. Observations:
#1-He's good...but dead (JJ still lives on to enhance her technique!)
#2-The recording quality (or he) is not as good (you can hear his fingers on the strings)
#3-Although his Strad is of earlier vintage, I am of the opinion that JJ's (some 20 years newer or there- abouts) has a richer tone (I am sure the recording equipment is partially the culprit, however)
..........just sayin....imho :)

a beautiful and wonderfully phrased performance..this is such an easy piece to play and such a difficult piece to play so well..thanks from an old guy who was firtunate to have heard Milstein live in his prime in 1961..he was one of the greats

Oops massacred myself by deletion. Love this tune thanks to watching Kim, Yuna via Vancouver Winter Olympics. She did a gala and this tune was emphasized with her mastery over the ice, or vice versa. I fell in love with the tune and scrambled onto You-Tube for more of, "Meditation of Thais" this version by Mr. Milstein certainly pensive and soars. TY for the upload, aimson.

There is something so ethereally beautiful about Milstein's playing that is untouched in my opinion by any other violinist. It is though you can listen to this piece 1,000 times and never feel it tedious. His phrasing is so unique and playing so moving. A master in every sense of the word.
