Milstein plays Brahms

Milstein is one the very very best at the concerto

There is a deep connection between Brahms and Milstein,Heifetz et al.They were both taught by Auer,who was himself taught by Joachim-Brahms' great friend.

this is like eating plain spinach!

it's really boring!

spice it up go on!

intheknow7: Oistrakh, Grumiaux are two you might be interested in? There is a good upload of Grumiaux playing the Bach Violin Sonatas and Partitas on here somewhere.

...well, I can hear the similarity..Leopold Auer taught Heifetz, Milstein and Elman

Fellow UTubers:
 Can u recommend other violinists on the level of Heifetz, Milstein, Issac Stern or Yitzchak Perlman? Trying to broaden my tastes - easy to get locked into favs.

Tx in advance.

Ilya Kaler, Arthur Grumiaux, Henryk Szering, David Oistrakh, Zino Francesccati, Gil Shaham, Vadim Repin, Boris Goldstein, Yuri Bashmet (the best viola player in the hole world everyone should hear him..)

To greenrate, Unless I am misunderstanding your point, your opinion seems to generate the question of who decides what that specific effect is, and in that case we are back to the idea that there are many ways to play a particular work, as each performer would tend to believe that he or she has found that one right way to play it.

Hmmm. Sorry, but my experience is just the opposite -- that a piece of music is "well written" precisely to the extent that it has one specific effect (however sophisticated) that it BEST elicits in the experience of the listener.

You might be able to "interpret" it to convey other effects . . . but they'll pale in comparison to the ONE essential effect that the piece BEST evokes.

Different performances are either more or less successful in evoking that specific effect . . .

BEAUTIFUL.
