I've got this album! I listened to it obsessively when I got it decades ago! Milstein was astonishing -- those Auer students really rocked the violin world, and their lineage continues in many star players to this day. But few of the new virtuosi can match the soul of that generation.
A fantastically accurate way to put it - there are some players today who are heading in the direction of rediscovering this style. I add my name to the list of those attempting to.. Augustin Hadelich is an excellent modern violinist who I think sometimes manages to play at this level of emotional concentration
I played the record in Zürich in our flat, my parents flat!. with "le maître" Nathan Milstein and a few mostly, Asian students, a certain evening. After having watched altogether! Heifetz last Bruch Scottish fantasy movie. The students were shocked: how you dare to put a heifetz video in the presence of N.M.??... After the Heifetz I asked: "Maître, your Korngold record now??...." YES!!!!!...(the answer!)
Це прекрасний концерт,який дуже рідко виконується сучасними скрипалями?! Н.Мільштейн виконав його неперевершено і досконало,кращоі версіі я не чув, браво ,маестро Мільштейн!!!
I keep listening to this. Just an incredible example of the finest violin playing imaginable. And the work is so underestimated. Much better than Saint-Saens 3rd or Bruch 2. Should be played much more. And like this!
Students today are taught not to do schmaltzy slides and other graceless acoutrements of the older generations as it harms the 19th century music. Funny thing is that's what composers grew up with and expected in their music. The cleanliness with which the new generation of players starting with Busch and Schnabel took some of the old style or "soul" out of this music . Glazunov and even Prokofiev need a little of the old world sometimes in their violin music . It doesn't work in the piano cycles or Sonatas and rarely in the orchestral music . Today's players can do it all and a few even have the verve and immediacy to play jazz. So much for playing the Waldstein the same one's entire life !

Without a doubt, the best rendition of this concerto in existence.
There's nothing more pure and completly sincere than this interpretation by Milstein.
the best version of the Goldmark concerto. Harry Blech told after the recording, Milstein was the hero of the Goldmark concerto.

This is a very precious recording of this wonderful concerto with the marvelous performance of Nathan Milstein !

Much better Saint-Saens 3? Are you sure?
