  • what happen picture are missing ??

  • An extraordinary performance. I am also very fond of Aaron Rosand's performacne of this work, which is intense and passionate, but in some ways more reflective and inward than Milstein's -- like a profound religious meditation, which is in some ways what I take Bach's piece to be: always the ground is there, calling to you no matter where you go. "But as I raved and grew more fierce and wild/ At every word/ Me thought I heard one calling "Child"/ And I replied "My lord."

  • I can't even play Happy Birthday and talk at the same time lol

  • Your former teacher's story should have included a disclaimer reading, "Top class concert violinist used. Please do not attempt." lol

  • Always interesting to read the comments. I searched just now to grab a Milstein link and send to a friend and cannot help posting. There is NOONE who gets the line in Bach better than Milstein. Or who is more "human" in terms of a combo of little gaffes combined with the best nuances and blazing technique and sound. Taken as a whole - fantastic. A little trivia - my former teacher recorded Tchaik w. NM and saw him talk to someone while playing the 3rd movt. with his chin OFF the fiddle.

  • Personally, I love Janine Janson and Joshua Bell; strangely enough, though I have been playing the violin for 6+ years now, I was exposed to Milstein for the first time this morning at my violin lesson. I love his sound! Notice also that, though this video does not show it, Milstein does NOT play with a shoulder-rest.

  • hey thankx for typing Szeryng; I was trying to Google him and couldn't spell his name!

  • I feel that Heifetz had a more unique sound... it's just me.

  • I have been listening to a heap of violinists playing the classics on youtube of late looking for downloads to put on my mobile phone/ mp3 player. I find myself drawn back to Milstein and download his playing, even though they are older recordings. He is like a magnet - his playing is just so completely satisfying. And to think I had hardly listened to his stuff before. [Also hats of too Mozart, Bach, Beethoven etc I think they might have a little bit to do with it too ;)]

  • I have the earlier recording... too bad, this is just perfect
