The part at 28:04 is so sad. You can see how much he loves the violin, but then he says "I don't scratch anymore, because I can't play. I hurt my hand."
I quite agree with Milstein about not using the alleged "original bowing" of Mendessohn Concerto (beginning). "Mendelssohn knew a lot about bowings" says Zukerman: "Not as much as I do", replies Milstein...
41:20 I have known and cherished this whole documentary since the 1990s, but even to this day I still marvel at this old man's chops in the Sarasate Introduction and Tarantella, a hard piece for everyone in their 20s and 30s. At age 82, in the last public performance of his life, he nails it, kills it, with flawless technique, incredible optimization of bowing and left hand, and probably with better overall intonation than say the Perlman live performance of the same piece here on youtube. This was only a hint, a way to be reminded that the great Nathan Milstein was technically a Lamborghini in his days, besides one of the most refined musicians to ever put their hands on a violin.
Excelente documental,I y II, me siento como si el Maestro fuera mi amigo.Persona simpatica,talentosa, maravillosas anecdotas y recuerdos,gran conversador y por sobre todo caracter sencillo y abierto. Las grandes personalidades son humildes y abiertas a toda persona.Bravo Maestro,preciosa leccio'n de vida!!!!.-
I adore Milstein and am so grateful for this 2-part documentary. But in the piece at 54:25, the violin and the piano are not in tune with each other at all! Is it just me?
Interesting documentary. I was, however, baffled by the inclusion of his student Yuri (10.44 onwards). A rather average player even after 10 year's worth of guidance from Milstein. Couldn't they have found anyone better for the purposes of this film?
I don't understand this title. "Master of invention". Invention of what? As far as I know, he didn't invent anything. He was a very good violinist, agree with that.
Why do you hate him? What makes you say he is not a good man? I am interested because my mother did not like him, and I too have never taken to him - but I don’t know why!

Rest in peace Christopher Nupen, and God bless Nathan Mironovich.

Heifetz didn't use that either.

57:57 "if you love music, you are more complete than without it" amen to that!!!
One the most unique violinists in the world! Thank you for the pleasure you have given us!
Lovely.......... one of the most unique violinists.

This documentary is gold
56:32 to 56:39 -- his finishing of this long and then fading trill is just absolutely brilliant

43:30 nobody at age 83 can play like Milstein.
No one at any age can play like Milstein. He's one and only.

His playing touches my soul, especially beginning at 4:15.
❤❤❤
'Part 2"? This is the whole show.
No--there is a Part 1. th-cam.com/video/X4H9-d9O2uA/w-d-xo.html

Anyone knows the name of the piece played at 4:15?
Saeedeh Ebrahimi 58:35 ;)

Anybody knows what is the piece at minute 4:14?

Im curious which violin they are playing at 20:30? One owned by Milstein I assume?
I think it's possibly the 1721 Lady Blunt Strad because I think I saw Zukerman played on it in another documentory
I recently came across an article that said besides his Strad, Milstein owned a violin by Ansalso Poggi...Im inclined to think its this violin.
Does anyone know exactly what the accident to his left hand was?
I would like to know, too. I have read that he strained a ligament, and I've also read that he fell and broke it.
24:40
I don't understand this title. "Master of invention". Invention of what? As far as I know, he didn't invent anything. He was a very good violinist, agree with that.
18:42 Did he mean David Oistrakh?😂
Alfred Cheng Ferdinand David to whom Mendelssohn dedicated this concerto.
Arrogant Zukerman. Though he sounds sweet, I hate him. Maybe good violin player but not a good man. No. Not at all
What don't you like about Zukerman?
same lol. He doesn't show much respect to Milstein, and that irks me.
Why do you hate him? What makes you say he is not a good man? I am interested because my mother did not like him, and I too have never taken to him - but I don’t know why!
Good viola playing, likes young girls a little too much though
Zukerman is like Borat except he’s not trying to be funny
Thank you!! I especially liked the part about Issay :)
"Ysaye" :)
