I'm now working on the exact same piece. I can really measure the gap between him and I... he's really brilliant.

My mom loved it! :)

it sounds so peaceful and tranquil.
So beautiful.=)

@stupidstorm which is good, but still bad.
-
@stupidstorm Romantic era playing is the playing style used by a musician when playing romantic period music. Its strikingly different to Baroque.
-
@stupidstorm and plus, he probably uses the LEAST vibrato out of all the great violinists of the 20th century. If you know a bit more about the great players, you would know that Milstein believed vibrato was only an "ornament."
-
@ModellMeister excuse me. what exactly is "romantic era“ playing? I'm quite sure no one alive can tell us that.
-
@russellkim98 I'm pretty sure every soul on earth thinks that too. =D
-
@kelleypm3 Why talk about Perlman when we are listening to a very fine performance by Milstein? Perlman doesn't even play this piece! A dogmatic statement like this is just silly and displays a lack of taste!
-
The extensive use of vibrato and just the entire demeanor of his playing style alone is more suited for romantic eras.
The sound quality is outstanding, and I personally believe that Nathan Milstein has control over the piece.

Pure as Water.
The sound is SO crystal clear. And Milstein feels so perfect that I am just left speechless.
The section after 6:00 made me almost stop breathing (but the final somehow took away much of the previously built up tension...I would have preferred something more intense, in an inner kind of way - but that's just my sensibility).
Thanks for uploading.
