Nathan Milstein

Joseph Achron, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2002

Outstanding
I love the violin and this collection is one of my favorites. A great choice for someone like me who doesn't know enough about music and never knows what to buy. It has introduced me to some artists and pieces that I knew nothing about and will help me know what to ...

Nathan Milstein - In Portrait

Nathan Milstein, Georges Pludermacher

Christopher Nupen, 2007

Nathan Milstein-In Portrait is a must for all classical collections
Fantastic! Five stars aren't enough. Candid interviews reveal Mr. Milstein's humbleness and an insight to his great talent. The sound quality and camera angles are very good. Close-ups of Mr. Milstein's playing are educational for all skill levels.

Bach: Partitas

Johann Sebastian Bach, Nathan Milstein

EMI Classics, 1998

The deepest insights into Bach
Bach is my favorite composer, and of all Bach's works, the Goldberg Variations, and these solo violin sonatas/partitas, are my "desert island" works. I've listened to many recordings of these sonatas/partitas, from Yehudi Menuhin to Jascha Heifetz, Grumiaux, Perlman, ...

Tchaikovsky & Mendelssohn - Violin Concertos

Claudio Abbado, Wiener Philharmoniker, ...

Deutsche Grammophon (Galleria), 1987

Excellent!
After hearing this performance of the Mendelssohn concerto at a friend's home, I searched it and found it here. So I knew that it would be nice. What a happy surprise then, when the coupling, the Tchaikovsky concerto is the best I've heard to date! Since no others ...

Best Of Saint-Saëns

Robert Cordier, Camille Saint-Saens, ...

EMI Classics, 1990

One of the best CDs I own
SAint-Saens ability to convey certian feelings and emotions through music amazes me. This Cd is one of my personal favorites. I own two of them... one for my car and the other for my house. My particular favorite is Danse Macabre. The use of the violin to convey a ...

Bach: Sonatas & Partitas

Johann Sebastian Bach, Jascha Heifetz

RCA, 1995

CHACONNE A SON GOUT
It was only after I had first picked the Heifetz version of the Bach solo violin pieces for my vinyl collection many years ago that I read an authoritative-sounding review of the entire field in these works that pronounced him firmly to be the best. I have not spent my ...

Bach: Complete Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin

Johann Sebastian Bach, Arthur Grumiaux

Philips, 1994

Grumiaux and Bach
I originally ordered Heifetz playing Bach's sonatas and partitas because I was learning the Chaconne, but because it was going to take a month to arrive, I ordered Grumiaux in the meantime. I have been so pleased with Grumiaux' smooth tone, his vibrato (never too ...

Bach: Sonatas for Unaccompanied Violin

Johann Sebastian Bach, Nathan Milstein

EMI Classics, 2001

The deepest insights into Bach
Bach is my favorite composer, and of all Bach's works, the Goldberg Variations, and these solo violin sonatas/partitas, are my "desert island" works. I've listened to many recordings of these sonatas/partitas, from Yehudi Menuhin to Jascha Heifetz, Grumiaux, Perlman, ...

Bach: Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin

Johann Sebastian Bach, Nathan Milstein

Deutsche Grammophon, 1998

the best Bach sonatas
After first hearing Milstein play these sonatas, I took the advice of some friends and bought the Heifetz and Szerzyng renditions for comparison. Although technically brilliant, I think Milstein stands out above the rest because--how best to put this?--because he ...

Tchaikovsky: Violin Concerto Op35; Brahms: Violin Concerto in D Op77

Johannes Brahms, Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, ...

EMI Classics, 1995

Possibly the biggest steal in all of recorded music !
As one who grew up adoring the Jascha Heifetz/Fritz Reiner recordings of these two great concerti, and certain they had set a standard of musical excellence impossible of being equalled, much less bettered, imagine my surprise upon hearing this fabulous disc. ...

Best of Wiener Philharmoniker

Alfred Prinz, Ludwig van Beethoven, ...

Dg Imports, 2004

Simply the best !!
I like every songs in these two CD. Especially it has the one of the best versions of " The Moldau ". ( It's conducted by Karajan ). Strongly recommend it !!!

Tchaïkovski: Concerto pour piano no. 1; Concerto pour violon

Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, Charles Dutoit, ...

Deutsche Gram France, 2006

Excellent recording. Argerich is always a joy!
I cannot add a lot to the other reviewers except to state that I am an Argerich fan and she never fails. The conductor, Dutoit, may have been married to her at the time of the recording. Therefore, they seem to have bonded totally on the recording. Milstein in the ...

Italian Sonatas
Arcangelo Corelli, Francesco Geminiani, ...

Angel Records, 1998

Violin: Greatest Hits

Johann Sebastian Bach, Antonio Bazzini, ...

Decca, 2004

An outstanding eclectic collection
The challenge in listening to this CD is finding a favorite selection in this excellent compilation. Antonio Bazzini's Scherzo fantastique, Op. 25, the fourth selection on this CD, is an electrifying performance. The Bazzini selection is played flawlessly and is ...

Mozart Violin Concerto / Brahms Violin Concerto etc. / Nathan Milstein (EMI Classic Archive 13)

Nathan Milstein, Mischa Elman

EMI Classics, 2003

The Ideal Violinist
"The Ideal Violinist" -- that's what Fritz Kreisler called Milstein. Need other reasons to buy this DVD? Okay: how about that if you never got to hear Milstein "live" (I did), this is about as close as you're going to get any time soon as nothing else is currently ...
