This was his last concert.

Certified Intergalactic! Woohoo! Yahoo! Yehey! Hurray! (hands & feet clapping...) Look how graceful the tip of his bow moves at 1:22-1:55.

@Aurelius27x what do you think playing like this is about?...it's virility at its finest!

I've always been in awe of Milstein, and it's so touching to know that it was his last concert, thanks for sharing the video.

@FluggleBubble That was back when violinists were the equivalent to today's pop/rock stars.

@Aurelius27x course they do, travelling musicians were the hottest people in town! look at paganini, died from syphilis and drinking too much - and he was one of (probably the) greatest violinist to ever live!
