    My father, who had a career as a violinist in a major symphony during the time of Milstein, studied with Stassavitch who was friends with Milstein. Sometimes, Milstein came over during my father's lessons to play something for Stassavitch, and get his opinion of it. My father said that it was astounding to watch him play close up, as he could seemingly do anything.

    To violin accordion
    He was a happy, successful, happily married violin virtuoso. He had a wonderful sense of humor, was kind to his students, loved the violin, played it as well as anyone on the planet, and loved jokes, soccer, wine and cigars if his wife was not there. Nothing sour there just seriously great violin playing. And really one of the all time greatest.

    I saw him at a RFH concert in London as a student in around 1962. He played the Tchaikovsky concerto and broke a string, changed violins with the leader Hugh Bean and never blinked an eye. I didn't notice any difference. Milstein was totally at home on stage and fully in control of all situations that could arise.

    After hearing this and seeing his technique it is readily apparent why Milstein was one of the greats of the violin world! I saw him perform at the University of Arizona in 1959 when I was a violin performance major there. Students and faculty alike sat there and salivated at the marvel of his playing! He still played magnificently in his late 70's and early 80's! Bravissimo, Milstein!

    When Milstein found the 24th Caprice too easy -- what does he do? He creates a Paganini full course meal.
    When he went to Ysaye, the master asked him if he could play a Paganini caprice and his response was "Which one?"

      Both Milstein and Heifetz are one in the same to me. When I think about Heifetz in particular, his double stops from Bach's Chaconne is totally synonymous him. I have listened to Milstein play the Chaconne and it was great. For pure imagination, I prefer Heifetz's arrangement. I wish Heifetz had a Paganini recording because I am sure this particular piece would mirror Milstein's version. Milstein knocked it out of the park. Taking Caprice 24 and just being lost in the music. This is pure virtuosity at it's finest.

      Milstein is not mentioned as much as Heifetz because, even though his bowing and left hand were both outstanding, just as outstanding as Heifetz, it wasn’t bow speed you could not just feel, but SMELL, like Heifetz. He made it look and sound easy. It wasn’t difficult for Heifetz either, but in a lot ways, Heifetz made it “look” more difficult.
      This is very similar to why, in baseball, Hank Aaron, even though he holds the MLB for Runs Batted In, and, for years, homeruns, is still considered underrated, because he wasn’t flashy. He wasn’t flashy because nothing was that hard for him. He didn’t need to dive for balls because he had an unerring sense of when it was worth it to let it bounce and not possibly injure himself, like Milstein, unlike someone fiery, like Ken Griffey Jr, who would make highlight reel plays, but suffered many injuries because he was risky, like Heifetz

    I say, people can't really help what face they were born with, and it's a display of your own stupidity to judge a violinist's ability by how he looks. Heifetz too was accused of being a "stone face", but he didn't like showing his feelings. Anyway, judge the beauty of a piece of music by how it affects you instead of by how it seems to affect the musician.

      When you can play passionately at that high level of technical proficiency all your soul is in your fingers. There's nothing left to work the face.

      Indeed. Many critics of the time were completely fooled into thinking Heifetz's playing was cold. The opposite was the case. It is a mystery to me that such great players can produce such a high level music and demonstrate unimaginable mastery of their instrument that it can go unnoticed by so many.

    His bow gives me goosebumps. As a violinist I don't understand how he can make this sound with his unorthodox bow control! (Not parallel to bridge at the tip) I always think it's gonna slip and slide. But holy shit what a god😂

    • @walderrub2434

      its the old Russian technique, its a very different concept but it seems to work, also holding the violin without the left hand without any support.

    • @aegeanenjoyer668
      @aegeanenjoyer668 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It's easier to bow like this, G and D tend to be easier to play and also sound better closer to the fingerboard than A and E. Ricci had similar bowing.
      Milstein also has the Auer bow hold which gives the best stability.

    Y'know, I just love stuff like this, it shows that the violin can be so good it can stand on its own two feet. this is where you get down to it's roots. orchestra is fine, but you can't really hear its true beauty.

    Milstein's left-hand fingerings on a fretless board of a violin is an astonishingly eye-opener hallucinatory that makes you zone-out for a split second.

  • @gybx4094
    @gybx4094 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I remember an interview of Milstein where the interviewer was praising him, but Milstein in effect said he 'was only a technician fiddling around. It was the composers who were geniuses'. He was a very common and humble man for a virtuoso.
