Widely considered one of the finest violinists of the\n20th century, Milstein was known for his interpretations of\n\nBach's\n\nsolo violin works and for works from the\nRomantic\n\nperiod. He was also known for his long career: he performed at a high\nlevel into his mid-80s, retiring only after suffering a broken hand.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nMilstein was born in\n\nOdessa\n\n, then part of the\n\nRussian Empire\n\n, the fourth child of seven, to a middle-class Jewish family with virtually\nno musical background. It was a concert by the 11-year-old\n\nJascha Heifetz\n\nthat inspired his parents to make a violinist out of Milstein. He started\nviolin studies with the eminent pedagogue\n\nPyotr Stolyarsky\n\n, also the teacher of\n\nDavid Oistrakh. When Milstein was 11,\n\nLeopold Auer\n\ninvited him to become one of his students at the\n\nSt. Petersburg Conservatory. Milstein may in fact have been the last of the great Russian violinists\nto have had personal contact with Auer. He also studied with\n\nEugène Ysaÿe\n\nin Belgium.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nMilstein met\n\nVladimir Horowitz\n\nin 1921 when he played a recital in\n\nKiev. Milstein and Horowitz performed together throughout the\n\nSoviet Union\n\nand struck up a lifelong friendship. In 1925, they went on a concert tour\nof Western Europe together. Milstein made his American debut in 1929 with\n\nLeopold Stokowski\n\nand the\n\nPhiladelphia Orchestra. He eventually settled in New York and became an American citizen. He\ntoured repeatedly throughout Europe, maintaining residences in London and\nParis.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nA transcriber and composer, Milstein arranged many works for violin and\nwrote his own\n\ncadenzas\n\nfor many concertos. He was obsessed with articulating each note perfectly\nand would often spend long periods of time working out fingerings which\nwould make passages sound more articulated.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nA recital he gave in Stockholm in July 1986 proved to be his final\nperformance. It was recorded in its entirety, and shows the remarkable\ncondition of his technique at age 82. A fall shortly afterwards in which he\nseverely broke his left hand ended his career. He died of a heart attack\nin London on December 21, 1992, 23 days before his 89th birthday.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e(Notes adapted from Wikipedia)\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer’s Note\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThis volume is the first of three which will reissue all of Nathan\nMilstein’s published 78 rpm solo recordings for American Columbia.\nAlthough his concerto recordings from this period have appeared often on LP\nand CD, none of these solo discs, made between 1935 and 1945, have ever\nseen an “official” re-release by Columbia or its successor, Sony, and\nneither have they been presented before in their entirety elsewhere.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nMilstein had made a few test recordings for HMV in 1932, which remained\nunissued on 78s when he was not signed to the label. Three years later,\nhe began an association with American Columbia which lasted until 1947,\nalthough his last sides remained unissued when he began recording for RCA\nVictor in 1949. He would later record for Capitol, Angel\/EMI and Deutsche\nGrammophon, with his final sessions being held in 1975.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThis inaugural release focuses mainly on works from the Baroque period\n(Nardini being more of a transitional figure between the Baroque and\nClassical eras) which, except for the Bach items, are presented in\npiano-accompanied arrangements made in the 19th and 20th centuries. Bach\nand the works of Italian Baroque composers were cornerstones of Milstein’s\nrepertoire, and he re-recorded them often during his long career. The Bach\nPartita included here was his earliest published recording, and it is\nfitting that his final recital 51 years later concluded with its Chaconne.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMark Obert-Thorn\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_download_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample3_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample4_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample5_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample6_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_labelfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fFull Track Listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_typefb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5ftrack_listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_contentfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 24px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMILSTEIN \u003c\/b\u003eThe American Columbia Solo Recordings – Volume 1\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.\n \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003eJ.
