Nathan Milstein was an exceptional violinist of the XX century. His playing was emotional, technically perfect, warm, full, tense, delicate. He was a child prodigy. Very intuitive, he often went ahead of his time. He did not need baroque instruments to grasp the spirit of the late baroque. His understanding of Bach was profound despite not sharing a common religious background. We can enjoy his playing thanks to the remastered technologies and the uploading by Classical Music access to the remastered recordings. Thanks for uploading.
He is what the greatest musicians always are, like Klemperer and Furtwangler, transcendent, ecstatics of sorts, really. That is what music is all about, just like the only real reason to watch sports (as opposed to playing them, a different story altogether) is that at certain moments of peak adrenaline, focus, effort, will, they pull a "Bronco Nagurski" (soliloquy in "Hearts in Atlantis" lol) and our jaws drop dead down. Milstein is more than a little bit like that, rapt.
Exceptional? He was way beyond exceptional. In my humble opinion, Milstein was THE best Bach violinist of all time and no one could play Bach like Milstein. Look at the "chaconne" movement by Bach which, to me, given its difficulty and complexity, could only be performed by masters of the violin. And it's the violin virtuosity of the "thinking" of Bach that comes to light in a most brilliant way across all of his Sonatas and Partitas for violin solo. We see this especially in Partita#3 in E-major, 1st and 2nd movements.
In 1944 I asked my violin teacher who she thought to be the best violinist to be without any hesitation she answers Herr Milstein! Later l found in a record store exactly this set of sonatas and partitas on vinyl 33s. Overjoyed I realized what she was talking about !! It has been a Stapel ever since and conditioned my ears to always recognizing Milsteins extraordinary playing of this wonderful soul satisfying music !! Appreciating this new mastering without ever hearing the disturbing scratches knowing exactly at what point they will occur and spoil somehow the pleasure of Perfection. Many Thanks for this wonderful posting. Hans switzerland
@@extanegautham8950 Oh for heaven's sake let it go. It's your ego that says to you you are better than "those German fascists". Germany, the most educated nation on earth at the time saw the rise of Nazism because people loved the sense of feeling better than others and surrendering to a groupist cause. EXACTLY the same kind of thing happens all around the world and is happening right now. For example, and it's just one example, in Israel right now. Find love in yourself and see your flaws are the same as others. When you think you're special and better than others you're no better than your "German fascists". Let's rise up not as members of groups which condemn other groups but as individuals embracing the mystery of existence. Find the love within and stop blaming others. Not sure where that rave came from but it's meant for all of us. But honestly I am so sick of people endlessly bringing up the Nazis while simultaneously completing ignoring and often being involved in other atrocities. It's not to suggest for one moment what happened wasn't horrific beyond all imagining but to put it in context of our collective failure to recognize the reality of the subjective experience of all others. This music has nothing to do with Jews and Nazis. It comes from the mystery of creation. Seek that mystery instead of being content to wallow in your satisfied sense of self righteousness. Love is the most powerful force in the universe. Let's find it. This music points there.
If Nathan Milstein had not been born, we never would really have heard the music that Bach composed for the violin. At 1:09:34, I think I am entering Paradise. Bravo, Monsieur Milstein, Bravo!
1:02:45, take a magic carpet ride through the giant mind of one of history's great geniuses. No art of man, painting, architecture, sculpture, even poetry can reach more palpably into the soul than Bach. Here is a Parthenon you can feel down into your bones. The glory of Alexander, surpassed on a simple string (or two).
The alchemy of the remastering has produced an acoustic of warm and resonant fidelity. Nathan Milstein is, for me, the greatest exponent of what becomes in his hands JS Bach's most intensely personal music, magical if at times tragic. Thank you.
je suis musicien professionnel,mon père a travaillé le violon avec les plus grands,Menuhin,Heifetz,Kogan,Tennenbaum,etc..j'écoute ces sonates depuis mon enfance,je les ai joué sur mon instrument, et j'ai transcrit l'intégrale des suites pour violoncelle !!! mais cette version de Nathan Milstein est absolument exceptionnelle,et me fait pleurer chaque fois !! quelle intelligence et finesse,quel son,phrasé,équilibre,dynamique,etc....hallucinant !!! sur quel violon joue Milstein un Stradivarius? lequel? j'ai bien connu Christian Ferras jeune avant sa décadence avec l'alcool,quel violoniste extraordinaire aussi, mais cet enregistrement vieux pourtant est incroyable ! ce violoniste est un génie !! c'est en écoutant ce chef d'oeuvre que l'on mesure la puissance de la musique ! et le génie de J S Bach !!!!!
This is the best record of all time for me. I've recently listened a bunch of records of this sonatas and partitas, now i can absolutely tell: i prefer this one so much. I don't care if the academy says that Milstein is playing incorret and this piece shouldn't be played this way. This is just the way i like it.
Прекрасное исполнение Баха ,я впервые для себя открыла этого великолепного скрипача,совершенно случайно...это здорово .обожаю Баха в исполнении Глена Гульда и теперь в исполнении Натана Мильштейна...Через таких исполнителей Бог нам показывает Свою красоту и любовь.Спасибо за публикацию )))

I love how Milstein discovered the self-soliloquy of these exceptionally rhetorical pieces--on the level of Hamlet's famous soliloquy (which Beethoven translated into his final quartet as "Muss es sein?")--and projected his discovery into these persuasive exectutions. His violin must be a fine one indeed!
Again a successful New Mastering : the wonderful emotional performance of Nathan Milstein of these marvelous and eternal Sonatas and Partitas. Great job CM/RR, many thanks !
I almost forgot that such a violinist lived in the world, a great violinist! Everything is impeccable for him - both intonations, and phrasing and tempi. It's a masterpiece! Thank you so much!
I am delighted to have found this exquisitely beautiful recording. His playing is both precise and emotional, and the remastering of the old recording is very clear. Truly a joy to listen to. I will come back again and again.
The sense of direction he creates is, in my view, one of the most striking aspects of why this is such a great interpretation. The chaconne is riveting - totally compelling playing.
Milstein and Barati has the key to enter your spirit when they play Bach! Saying to 'play', it is an under-statement! You must live this musik, you can not only listen to it, in this troubled world, listening to Bach, bring you in contact with God's very Heaven, and thus, the troubles of this world faids away!
I'm not a violinist or a musicologist, but this interpretation makes me cry every time. Really beautiful, it reveals the profound depth of Bach's musicality. I mostly refer to his cantatas, but this is completely riveting. Thank you for posting.
Dear charles, I’m glad for your tears, we shared it And you do t have to be a musician or musicologist you have to open your self to recibe the message Thank you for your post
I used to have the box set of LPs of this 1956 recording. When the CD version was available, I also bought it. The LPs played through my then Heathkit tube amp sounded heavenly. The CD version (EMI) sounds dramatically different, too much high pitches. After I equalized the frequency, they sound better, but never the same as the LPs played through my tube amp. Then the LPs box set recorded by DG in 1973 was available, I bought them, then again when the CDs version came out, I bought it too. The difference in sound of this 1973 recording was not as dramatically different as those of the 1956 versions. It is actually quite listenable. The LPs are all gone now.
Wunderschöne und spannende Interpretation dieser sechs perfekt komponierten Sonaten und Partiten in verschiedenen Tempi mit seidigem doch gut phrasiertem Ton der technisch perfekten Solovioline und mit künstlerisch kontrollierter Dynamik. Die Doppelgriffe klingen echt schön und auch ergreifend. Die verbesserte Tonqualität ist auch erstaunlich hoch als originale Aufnahmen von etwa fünfundsechzig Jahren vor. Zweifellos einer der zehn besten Violinisten im 20. Jahrhundert!
What a beautiful, beautiful tone! So clear. This is a marvelous video of Nathan Milstein and is certainly sublime and heavenly to listen to his masterful performances.
This guy rocks the block like an L. A. aftershock. Just a stupendous artist. I had the vinyl LP of this 40 years ago, and wore it out on my way to concertizing Bach on the piano, and singing him in concert (Bach B Minor Mass, Magnificat). I would always be transported by these. Milstein set the tone and context of many of my thoughts and takes on how to play and sing Bach. So deep and passionate a rendering of the greatest composer. What a spiritual debt we have to Milstein, a master.
Why have I never heard of Nathan Milstein? This is masterful stuff! Such a delicate touch. I'd call it "romantic" but it's certainly not overly so. Brilliant altogether!
@@robindale9352 I feel you, Milstein may be, pound for pound, string for string, the most outstanding recorded Bach interpreter and virtuoso, on violin. Heifetz seemed to think so, so that's an endorsement.
@@johnervin8033 I prefer a more historically-informed school of violin playing. Milstein's slow movements, to me, just sound mechanical and overly romantic; the excessive vibrato and shifting weigh down the performance and don't let the clarity of the violin's overtones shine. My favorite Bach interpreter (on violin) is Shunske Sato with the Netherlands Bach Society. In particular, I adore the flow of his interpretation and tempo choices--for example, in the Chaconne: th-cam.com/video/pnK6R5ej6Hg/w-d-xo.html
I will check it out, when I can. I have absolutely no attraction to the entirety of "historically informed". I am not saying it's a meaningless principle, but close enough. To me, a music is a poetic expression, nothing scientific as such, and if the interpreter is a poet, is relevant to the spirit of the music, I would rather hear that about one or two thousand times sooner than all of this period piece bollocks, which is ancillary to the real gist or intent of the composer. I am quite certain Bach would laugh to tears over all that. Give me a great interpreter and then let him (her) read relevant meaning into the notes and their disposition Milstein is really great, by the way. A big clue for me is just about 9 out of 10 modern Bach stylists, last 40 years, play Bach like he's got bugs in his pants and meth in his veins. Quite nuts. Yes, someone like Stowkowski was revered by some giants, and Virgil Fox, but yes, they were way way too gooey, or what I would call "romantic". But Klemperer and his St. Matthew Passion is very emotional, but he reads romance arght. There is an infinitude of spiritual meaning in the music he makes. That's what I'm looking for, always. Transcendent. Paul Valéry wrote about great writing, and described its transcendent qualities, and then he added: "le reste, c'est de la litérature." "The rest is literature " Ooof. Ouch. That is how I feel about much "music". Furtwängler would always get that.
WOW. I thought I would play a few seconds of this to see how it sounded. As soon as it started I was drawn in, as if in a trance, and when I looked up many minutes had passed! Such a confident, sensitive, and utterly convincing performance. Absolutely thrilling!
That's the Milstein that I know and love, too. He was theme music for my own musical studies, years ago, when I had this LP and wore it thin! A constant education for mine own Bach playing.
I've have 9 full sets on vinyl, but not this one. As luck would have it, this is the one I value the highest. As highly as he was revered,, Nathan Milstein was still...'under'valued in his time.
This is by far the greatest recordings of the entire sonatas and partitas of J.S. Bach. There are some very good recordings out there, but this is truly amazing, both musically and technically. Most people cannot even begin to comprehend how difficult these are to perform.
Истинное наслаждение, любимейший И.С. Бах + величайшее исполнение Натана Мильштейна, Мастера от Бога . Я стала скрипкой и на струнах моей души он исполнял божественную Музыку..Благодарю за шикарный подарок!!!
Je suis sidéré par la qualité ,å la fois de l'interprétation et de la prise de son qui pourtant ne date pas d'hier. Quelle proximité, quelle ėmotion ! Cette version est absolument remarquable ! Merci pour cet envoi qui va occuper notre espace musical comme un véritable retour aux sources. Bach donne du sens à nos vies, surtout jouė de cette façon. Andrė
He was one of the 3 Greatest Violinists of the 20th Century. Read his memoirs "From Russia to the West". Also, very good documentary about him exist-look at the Christopher Nupen youtube channel.
Benditos aquellos humanos, por nuestra innata capacidad de apreciar cada sublime nota, que surgen de estas melodías maravillosas, llenando cada alma en una perfecta Armonía de éxtasis y gozo. 👍🌹🙋🇦🇷
Personalmente preferisco la sua seconda integrale . Anche qui , comunque, siamo in zona apicale . Milstein parla sempre al mio uditore interno più elevato ...
I'm sorry, but I can only comment in Japanese. ミルシュタインのヴァイオリンを聴くのは久し振りだった。彼は天才少年としてデビューするが、スポイルされることもなく、また自分で崩壊することもなかった。彼の晩年の録音でも、技術の衰えを感じることがなかった。彼は、ハイフェッツのように技術を見せるのではなく、作曲家に忠実を誓う音楽家だった。完璧な技術というよりも、音楽が前面に出るのも幸いした。晩年DGで、２度目、３度目の録音をしていたと、私は記憶している。このバッハ演奏は晩年か？壮年期か？録音した年が知りたいものである。晩年のものなら、リマスターする必要はなかったとするとと推測してしまう。
is "Partita No. 1 in B minor, BMV 1002 - IV. Double Presto" Van Halen's "Eruption" the intro to their cover of "Girl, You Really Got Me Now" by The Kinks?

But honestly I am so sick of people endlessly bringing up the Nazis while simultaneously completing ignoring and often being involved in other atrocities. It's not to suggest for one moment what happened wasn't horrific beyond all imagining but to put it in context of our collective failure to recognize the reality of the subjective experience of all others.
This music has nothing to do with Jews and Nazis. It comes from the mystery of creation.
Seek that mystery instead of being content to wallow in your satisfied sense of self righteousness.
Love is the most powerful force in the universe. Let's find it. This music points there.
Delightful story Hans!
Hope you great health, Hans!

If Nathan Milstein had not been born, we never would really have heard the music that Bach composed for the violin. At 1:09:34, I think I am entering Paradise. Bravo, Monsieur Milstein, Bravo!
1:02:45, take a magic carpet ride through the giant mind of one of history's great geniuses. No art of man, painting, architecture, sculpture, even poetry can reach more palpably into the soul than Bach. Here is a Parthenon you can feel down into your bones. The glory of Alexander, surpassed on a simple string (or two).
Bach not only touches the mind, but open the gate to your spirit!
Yes❤
The alchemy of the remastering has produced an acoustic of warm and resonant fidelity. Nathan Milstein is, for me, the greatest exponent of what becomes in his hands JS Bach's most intensely personal music, magical if at times tragic. Thank you.
je suis musicien professionnel,mon père a travaillé le violon avec les plus grands,Menuhin,Heifetz,Kogan,Tennenbaum,etc..j'écoute ces sonates depuis mon enfance,je les ai joué sur mon instrument, et j'ai transcrit l'intégrale des suites pour violoncelle !!! mais cette version de Nathan Milstein est absolument exceptionnelle,et me fait pleurer chaque fois !! quelle intelligence et finesse,quel son,phrasé,équilibre,dynamique,etc....hallucinant !!! sur quel violon joue Milstein un Stradivarius? lequel? j'ai bien connu Christian Ferras jeune avant sa décadence avec l'alcool,quel violoniste extraordinaire aussi, mais cet enregistrement vieux pourtant est incroyable ! ce violoniste est un génie !! c'est en écoutant ce chef d'oeuvre que l'on mesure la puissance de la musique ! et le génie de J S Bach !!!!!
tu as raison. j ai compare avec beaucoup autres. en effet c est le plus grand bach !
This is the best record of all time for me.
I've recently listened a bunch of records of this sonatas and partitas, now i can absolutely tell: i prefer this one so much.
I don't care if the academy says that Milstein is playing incorret and this piece shouldn't be played this way.
This is just the way i like it.
Прекрасное исполнение Баха ,я впервые для себя открыла этого великолепного скрипача,совершенно случайно...это здорово .обожаю Баха в исполнении Глена Гульда и теперь в исполнении Натана Мильштейна...Через таких исполнителей Бог нам показывает Свою красоту и любовь.Спасибо за публикацию )))
Milstein: a Great Artist who always endeavor to become even a better Musician
His love of Bach permeates these transcendent performances
This is beyond exquisite! It almost takes my breath listening to it. He is so underrated.
"Bach's Sonatas and Partitas for solo violin offer the performer the opportunity to approach the most enchanting light," noted Milstein." And yet for a long time they had difficulty gaining acceptance." By the time Milstein began his international career, the Sonatas and Partitas occupied a significant place in his particularly selective repertoire. His solo recitals usually included at least one movement from one of them, and even in his orchestral appearances he frequently played a movement from one as an encore. This habit, which has become a tradition, goes back to a 1934 concert at the Leipzig Gewandhaus, in which Milstein followed Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto with the entire G minor Sonata. The conductor, Bruno Walter, had suggested Bach as an encore, and Milstein, enthralled by the idea of playing Bach in Leipzig and in this hall, played the Adagio, but could not stop until he had finished the Sonata. (...) Milstein put so much nobility and commitment into championing the Sonatas and Partitas that they became an essential part of the repertoire of all serious violinists.

I love how Milstein discovered the self-soliloquy of these exceptionally rhetorical pieces--on the level of Hamlet's famous soliloquy (which Beethoven translated into his final quartet as "Muss es sein?")--and projected his discovery into these persuasive exectutions. His violin must be a fine one indeed!
But his ear is even finer; I suppose no violin could've ever matched it. Such is the frustration of a great artist.
Again a successful New Mastering : the wonderful emotional performance of Nathan Milstein of these marvelous and eternal Sonatas and Partitas. Great job CM/RR, many thanks !
Raphael Martin.
I have the CD.The best.
I almost forgot that such a violinist lived in the world, a great violinist! Everything is impeccable for him - both intonations, and phrasing and tempi. It's a masterpiece! Thank you so much!
Marvellous, awesome:BACH forever!..❣🌹🙏👏❤🌻
I am delighted to have found this exquisitely beautiful recording. His playing is both precise and emotional, and the remastering of the old recording is very clear. Truly a joy to listen to. I will come back again and again.
Highly recommend his Salzburg recital where he played sonata 1,3 and partita 2 . One of my favorite recordings of all time
The sense of direction he creates is, in my view, one of the most striking aspects of why this is such a great interpretation. The chaconne is riveting - totally compelling playing.
He wears them like a second skin….made for _him._
La plus belle Ciaconne de Bach, mille fois merci Milstein.
Milstein and Barati has the key to enter your spirit when they play Bach! Saying to 'play', it is an under-statement! You must live this musik, you can not only listen to it, in this troubled world, listening to Bach, bring you in contact with God's very Heaven, and thus, the troubles of this world faids away!
I'm not a violinist or a musicologist, but this interpretation makes me cry every time. Really beautiful, it reveals the profound depth of Bach's musicality. I mostly refer to his cantatas, but this is completely riveting. Thank you for posting.
Riveting, for real. Stunningly transcendent, most of the time.
Dear charles, I’m glad for your tears, we shared it
And you do t have to be a musician or musicologist you have to open your self to recibe the message
Thank you for your post
Truly Greatest Maestro ❤❤❤
Oui, c'est effectivement LA version de ces œuvres magistrales
I used to have the box set of LPs of this 1956 recording. When the CD version was available, I also bought it. The LPs played through my then Heathkit tube amp sounded heavenly. The CD version (EMI) sounds dramatically different, too much high pitches. After I equalized the frequency, they sound better, but never the same as the LPs played through my tube amp. Then the LPs box set recorded by DG in 1973 was available, I bought them, then again when the CDs version came out, I bought it too. The difference in sound of this 1973 recording was not as dramatically different as those of the 1956 versions. It is actually quite listenable. The LPs are all gone now.
I agree. Originally recorded in mono, which imho is superior to stereo for solo violin. 1st pressing green label Capitol are the best sounding
아름다운 연주곡 잘 들었습니다~감사합니다~🎵🎻🌿🍀☘🌹🌹☘🍀🌿❤❤수고 많으셨습니다~☕
Wunderschöne und spannende Interpretation dieser sechs perfekt komponierten Sonaten und Partiten in verschiedenen Tempi mit seidigem doch gut phrasiertem Ton der technisch perfekten Solovioline und mit künstlerisch kontrollierter Dynamik. Die Doppelgriffe klingen echt schön und auch ergreifend. Die verbesserte Tonqualität ist auch erstaunlich hoch als originale Aufnahmen von etwa fünfundsechzig Jahren vor. Zweifellos einer der zehn besten Violinisten im 20. Jahrhundert!
Excelente precisión 🎉
This is musical alchemy!
What a beautiful, beautiful tone! So clear. This is a marvelous video of Nathan Milstein and is certainly sublime and heavenly to listen to his masterful performances.
This guy rocks the block like an L. A. aftershock. Just a stupendous artist. I had the vinyl LP of this 40 years ago, and wore it out on my way to concertizing Bach on the piano, and singing him in concert (Bach B Minor Mass, Magnificat). I would always be transported by these. Milstein set the tone and context of many of my thoughts and takes on how to play and sing Bach. So deep and passionate a rendering of the greatest composer. What a spiritual debt we have to Milstein, a master.
Why have I never heard of Nathan Milstein? This is masterful stuff! Such a delicate touch. I'd call it "romantic" but it's certainly not overly so. Brilliant altogether!
@@robindale9352 I feel you, Milstein may be, pound for pound, string for string, the most outstanding recorded Bach interpreter and virtuoso, on violin. Heifetz seemed to think so, so that's an endorsement.
@@johnervin8033 I prefer a more historically-informed school of violin playing. Milstein's slow movements, to me, just sound mechanical and overly romantic; the excessive vibrato and shifting weigh down the performance and don't let the clarity of the violin's overtones shine. My favorite Bach interpreter (on violin) is Shunske Sato with the Netherlands Bach Society. In particular, I adore the flow of his interpretation and tempo choices--for example, in the Chaconne: th-cam.com/video/pnK6R5ej6Hg/w-d-xo.html
I will check it out, when I can. I have absolutely no attraction to the entirety of "historically informed". I am not saying it's a meaningless principle, but close enough. To me, a music is a poetic expression, nothing scientific as such, and if the interpreter is a poet, is relevant to the spirit of the music, I would rather hear that about one or two thousand times sooner than all of this period piece bollocks, which is ancillary to the real gist or intent of the composer. I am quite certain Bach would laugh to tears over all that. Give me a great interpreter and then let him (her) read relevant meaning into the notes and their disposition
Milstein is really great, by the way. A big clue for me is just about 9 out of 10 modern Bach stylists, last 40 years, play Bach like he's got bugs in his pants and meth in his veins. Quite nuts.
Yes, someone like Stowkowski was revered by some giants, and Virgil Fox, but yes, they were way way too gooey, or what I would call "romantic".
But Klemperer and his St. Matthew Passion is very emotional, but he reads romance arght. There is an infinitude of spiritual meaning in the music he makes.
That's what I'm looking for, always. Transcendent.
Paul Valéry wrote about great writing, and described its transcendent qualities, and then he added: "le reste, c'est de la litérature."
"The rest is literature "
Ooof. Ouch.
That is how I feel about much "music".
Furtwängler would always get that.
quelle finesse! et cette articulation précise et juste,un son exceptionnel,le bon tempo,un style inouï,un phrasé superbe, un artiste unique !
Find myself mesmerized listening to Virtuoso Nathan Milstein.This recording is pure gold. Deep heartfelt gratitude!
Amen, spaseba.
Щалом шалом Шалом щалом Щалом шалом Шалом щалом Щалом шалом Шалом щалом Щалом шалом Шалом щалом Щалом шалом Шалом щалом Щалом шалом
WOW. I thought I would play a few seconds of this to see how it sounded. As soon as it started I was drawn in, as if in a trance, and when I looked up many minutes had passed! Such a confident, sensitive, and utterly convincing performance. Absolutely thrilling!
That's the Milstein that I know and love, too. He was theme music for my own musical studies, years ago, when I had this LP and wore it thin! A constant education for mine own Bach playing.
I've have 9 full sets on vinyl, but not this one. As luck would have it, this is the one I value the highest. As highly as he was revered,, Nathan Milstein was still...'under'valued in his time.
What a wonderful birthday present! Thank you.
This is by far the greatest recordings of the entire sonatas and partitas of J.S. Bach. There are some very good recordings out there, but this is truly amazing, both musically and technically. Most people cannot even begin to comprehend how difficult these are to perform.
I have the Heifetz, the Szeryng but Milstein is IT!
Just noticed: 6 drummers gave a thumbs down to this amazing performance. . . anyone who knows anything could never! Impossible!!!
Истинное наслаждение, любимейший И.С. Бах + величайшее исполнение Натана Мильштейна, Мастера от Бога . Я стала скрипкой и на струнах моей души он исполнял божественную Музыку..Благодарю за шикарный подарок!!!

Je suis sidéré par la qualité ,å la fois de l'interprétation et de la prise de son qui pourtant ne date pas d'hier. Quelle proximité, quelle ėmotion ! Cette version est absolument remarquable ! Merci pour cet envoi qui va occuper notre espace musical comme un véritable retour aux sources. Bach donne du sens à nos vies, surtout jouė de cette façon. Andrė
Merci Adré, vous avez exprimé ce que je ressents .
"Bach donne du sens à nos vies" 👍🇨🇦✌💞
He was one of the 3 Greatest Violinists of the 20th Century. Read his memoirs "From Russia to the West". Also, very good documentary about him exist-look at the Christopher Nupen youtube channel.
Bach's works are not selective about instruments .
What a sweet violin so rich.in more ways than one1.
Benditos aquellos humanos, por nuestra innata capacidad de apreciar cada sublime nota, que surgen de estas melodías maravillosas, llenando cada alma en una perfecta Armonía de éxtasis y gozo. 👍🌹🙋🇦🇷

СПАСИБО! Прекрасно!
j'ai trouvé sur internet : Nathan Milstein jouait sur un stradivarius de 1716, auquel il avait donné le nom de sa femme Marie-Thérèse.
fantastic.
Yes, there is a God.
As Kurt Vonnegut said memorably, "Music is the only proof I need for the existence of God."
And Bach played by Milstein is yet further proof.
@@johnervin8033 I thought the same thing. God exists
Thank you immensely.!
What a musician!
I like his approach.
Very beautiful
Great violin great playing.fabulous.unquestionably
Simply amazing
Superb!
Amazing music, Bravissimo.
Got the CDs😊
🔥🔥🔥
🙏😇🙏
En mi opinión Milstein junto con Heifetz, D.Oistrakh, Cogan, Perlman y Vengerov, son los mejores violinistas que conocemos
Pero ya no interpretamos asi.
You forgot Henryk Szyreng
@@resonnanceful Vengerov todavía está.
My favorite: Sonata No.2 in A minor, BWV 1003 - IV. Allegro 50:26
Personalmente preferisco la sua seconda integrale . Anche qui , comunque, siamo in zona apicale . Milstein parla sempre al mio uditore interno più elevato ...
Fantástico!!!!👏🙌💜
Silver and gold.
Minha alma agradece!!!!
Hermoso ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!
wonderfull! thank you
Very nice
I'm sorry, but I can only comment in Japanese.
ミルシュタインのヴァイオリンを聴くのは久し振りだった。彼は天才少年としてデビューするが、スポイルされることもなく、また自分で崩壊することもなかった。彼の晩年の録音でも、技術の衰えを感じることがなかった。彼は、ハイフェッツのように技術を見せるのではなく、作曲家に忠実を誓う音楽家だった。完璧な技術というよりも、音楽が前面に出るのも幸いした。晩年DGで、２度目、３度目の録音をしていたと、私は記憶している。このバッハ演奏は晩年か？壮年期か？録音した年が知りたいものである。晩年のものなら、リマスターする必要はなかったとするとと推測してしまう。

He recorded them twice: first for EMI and later for DGG. I have both sets - it is hard to choose between them.

is "Partita No. 1 in B minor, BMV 1002 - IV. Double Presto" Van Halen's "Eruption" the intro to their cover of "Girl, You Really Got Me Now" by The Kinks?
