    The one concert at The Meadowmount School of Music I'll never forget was the memorial concert for Michael Rabin back in '72. The most beautiful music was chosen for the event: Mahler, Symphony No.5: Adagietto. For two of my seven years at Meadowmount, I stayed at the Lelonde Motel (Rte 9 & Lewis-Wadhams Rd), which I assume is no longer there. When Michael Rabin stayed there, (many years before me), Mrs. Lalonde had a gas station, and Michael was happy to be her service attendant, filling the tanks, checking the radiator and oil; putting air in the tires. He was a very gracious man. It was also noted how when Michael recorded in the studio, the musicians would go home early! Michael always performed perfectly, first time every time.

    Milstein was arguably more talented than Heifetz. Heifetz had a few self-admitted weaknesses. Milstein just had none. Heifetz somehow never managed to make violin playing look easy. Milstein made it look like it was as easy as snapping two fingers together! LOL!

I had no inspiration this is why I stopped playing by design for which I was so unaware but now I am awake. It is never too late to wake up. This Gem was well hidden.

    Most don't realize that Rabin "competed" with all the great artists of that day, for concert dates all over the globe in the 1950s and 60s. At that time, the short list was: Heifetz, Menuhin, Milstein, Ricci, Morini, Ida Haendel, Francescatti, Stern, and...Rabin. Very few people outside of older violinists know who Rabin was. THANK GOD, he recorded a lot and we have all those incredible recordings to listen to.

      @BenjiOrthopedic 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@sma1968 Although Heifetz was in a class of his own, you wouldn't be wrong to put Rabin ahead of Heifetz. Musically, Rabin was even better. Heifetz was his idol - but he out-did him in a number of areas, and even composers. Rabin was better at Bach. I think he also had a better left hand than Heifetz even did and that's saying a lot. Rabin recorded at least a few of the Ysaye Sonatas and all the Paganini Caprices but Heifetz never did. Rabin and Heifetz met two or three times - but we have to remember, they were competitors in a way. Heifetz never made any comments about Rabin's playing, for better or worse. Then again, he usually - and wisely - kept his mouth closed about his rivals.

    He was one of the greatest violinists in history. The reason he died prematurely was not drug related, as most people have said. The answer is in the book about his life by Anthony Feinstein, MD. Read it. It is a wonderful book - although the story is very depressing. Michael's parents had two of their children die. Michael's mother died not long after he did. His death pretty well killed her.

    • @andresrozsa637
      @andresrozsa637 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @rickyanthony His death was from a rather domestic accident. It is suspected that based on the time of death, he got out of bed to go to the kitchen in an early morning hour, tripped, fell and cracked his head open. The autopsy report stated that the only drug in his system was an over-the-counter sleeping drug or two, and at well below lethal levels. You should really read the book, it's eye-opening.

    There is one composer Michael Rabin struggled with; Mozart. Why his mother chose Mozart to be played at his funeral is a mystery. She may have been the main cause of his neuroses. He became addicted to Doriden, & that medication may have been what killed him when he fell & hit his head on a table in his apartment. His bow became wobbly towards the end of his life, & he'd become dizzy while performing; probably due to the drug. There is no one alive today who can play like him. Like Heifetz, his playing was truly unique. I knew a friend of his who studied with Galamian at the same time he did.

    • @BenjiOrthopedic
      @BenjiOrthopedic 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Rabin didn't struggle with any composers. However, you are right that his mother was a double-edged sword. It was as if without him, he wouldn't have had a career but she was an impossible woman according to the account of her given in Anthony Feinstein MD's book. I'm curious to know how you came by the information that his bow was "wobbly towards the end of his life and he'd become dizzy while performing." Were you there and did you see this first-hand?

    • @unclejuniorsoprano
      @unclejuniorsoprano 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@BenjiOrthopedicYES HE DID!!! He didn't have a feel for Mozart, which is a well known fact among MR's admirers. About his wobbly bow, in Anthony Feinstein's book you will find lots of information of how drugs like Doridan affected Michael's playing, starting from pg. 174. As for Mozart, of course, he was able to play the music technically very well, but not on the level of Isaac Stern & Heifetz musically, & he was well aware of that, which was why he avoided it. Heifetz himself said that Mozart & Beethoven were the most difficult composers for him. Drugs not only destroyed MR, but also Eugen Fodor, who also struggled with Mozart, which is why he stuck mainly to the pyro-technical stuff. My 2nd violin teacher knew MR, & I used to have long conversations with Fodor's best friend & student, William Woolcot. I recommend that you read Feinstein's book, if you have any more issues. You won't find a better one than that.

And the one instrument that always got my attention was the violin. pardon the pun but it always pulled on my heart strings. when I listened to any piece, it was the one instrument that I listened for to throw myself into the piece. Now near an Octogenarian I still am drawn to it in many ways. thank you for this inside look at what these musicians try to achieve in their music. ECF

    So brief, but wonderful. Any glimpse into this gigantic talent is worth seeing. Somewhere there must exist a tape of a Tonight Show performance of, I believe, the Carmen Fantasie. It was probably 1968 or thereabouts. I watched it with my father--also an enthusiast of Rabin, and he played a little fast, which we attributed to TV nerves. But he was still amazing. Maybe someone with better scholarship skills than I have can locate that.
