Extractions: Recalling his 67-year career as an acclaimed violinist, Aaron Rosand seems to remember more disasters than delights. ''Years ago in Paris the conductor Georges Sebastian asked me to learn the Khachaturian Concerto,'' he says by phone from Connecticut. ``But when I walked out onstage to play it with no rehearsals [because of a flood], what I heard was the opening of Lalo's Sympho nie Espagnole! It was a nightmare.'' The conductor neglected to inform Rosand of the switch, and because he hadn't played the Lalo in literally months, he had to shift gears and retrieve it from his memory on the spot. Even Leonard Bernstein let Rosand down. At his 1962 New York Philharmonic debut, though he got to play the Barber Concerto with Bernstein, the conductor was so busy fretting about the acoustics of then new Philharmonic Hall, he spent barely 10 minutes rehearsing the piece causing Rosand to stalk out fuming.

Extractions: of Gregor Piatigorsky (1903-1976) IT was a busy morning. I made telephone calls and wrote letters of apology, but it was like trying to mend the unmendable. Reciprocating the hospitality of many, I had arranged a dinner for forty many weeks in advance. Food and wine chosen, invitations sent out, caterers and help hired, I had marked the date on my calendar "At Home." Satisfied with my efficiency and feeling that I had been a good host already, I had left for a concert tour. Shortly after returning I saw "At Home" on the calendar and, delighted to be free, went in the early evening to see a murder movie featuring my friend Peter Lorre. I had a long walk after the show and a sandwich in a Bierstube . Content with the time so pleasantly spent, I unhurriedly approached the street in which I lived. It was a little after ten. The air was calm and there were lights in the windows, and what a joy it was to run so unexpectedly into a group of friends. "What are you doing in my neighborhood at this hour? How wonderful!" My jovial greeting had a somewhat subdued reception. A little later there were more acquaintances, and when I stopped to greet them I saw more coming toward me. "
HallClassicalMusic.com :: Tchaikovsky: Concerto For Violin In D Product Reviews nathan Milsten the best violinist that ever graced earthnathan milstein is the most amazing violinist that ever has been alive. http://hallclassicalmusic.com/index.php/Mode/product/AsinSearch/B000000UW5/name/
Extractions: Soloist Nathan Milstein has a new fan! His technical mastery and emotional expressiveness when performing both Tchaikovsky and Brahms is stunning. The composers respective musical opposites, but Milstein captures the spirit of each piece with great vigor. The pieces themselves are thoroughly enjoyable as well. They seem hand-picked to showcase the abilities of the soloist but are easy on the ears. Tchaikovsky's Allegro Moderato (track 1) in particular, is a triumphant and passionate piece that celebrates the width and breadth of orchestral music. Brahms' creations are equally emotive, but in more subtle ways.

Extractions: Milstein was a contemporary of Jascha Heifetz, and, like Heifetz, was Russian-born, taught by Leopold Auer and emigrated to the USA. Though he had a phenomenal technique and a pure, lyrical, elegant musical style, he spent his career in the shadow of Heifetz's technical perfection. These recordings show him at his best. The remasterings are sonically excellent, and the quality of the sound holds its own against current standards (this is modern, not vintage, sound, despite the fact that some of the recordings are mono).

Extractions: Reviews of CD 7 Click to Order Recordings Fanfare: Nov/Dec 2001 Elmar Oliveira's own notes to his Artek recital makes it clear that the pieces he has included aren't just "favorite encores" but rather works associated with violinists who made a deep impression on him. Michael Rabin: Meditation Whatever the violinist's reverence for earlier performances, though, most of these stand on their own two feet. Oliveira possesses a transcendental technique and a magnificently commanding tone in all registers. He plays in tune and reaches the core of the musical materials he explores. For the most part, in addition, he's able to call to mind his four heroes without sounding derivative. He does that in the Hebrew Melody, the Hopak, and, perhaps most of all, in the Jota . At times, too, as in the Meditation and Banjo and Fiddle , he achieves almost complete independence, despite the strong impress his predecessors left on these pieces. Still, not all of the performances lay the ghosts of the past. In general, he's at his strongest in the best works and at his weakest (although this can hardly be a word for Oliveira) in the worst. Perhaps, like Rabin, Oliveira lacks some of the alchemistic power, which Kreisler and Heifetz possessed in full measure, to convert even the basest metal into gold. Because of all its allusions, the program seems to require a special sort of consideration, and listening to it, at least for a member of my generation, elicits a complicated response. For sure, though, it stands head and shoulders above almost all other tributes to violinists of a recently bygone but deeply lamented era, a time when artists served, in Milstein's view, as priests of a musical religion rather than as trendy hucksters of a depersonalized, even dehumanized, "art." Finally, the very complexity of that response earns the recital a strong recommendation. As Bein and Fushi's

Extractions: Interviewer: Along with Milstein, what violinists inspired you? Does that inspiration find its way into your own playing? Jenson: Interviewer: How did you start playing the violin? Jenson: I started on the violin when I was two and-a-half with my mother, who is not a violinist. She learned how to play the violin from library books Interviewer: Really! Jenson: she would teach herself the night before and teach us the next day, with another brother and sister, the three of us; initiation by just doing it. She taught me for a few years, and then she got up to the Bach Double with me and then couldn't keep up with me, so then I went to a regular teacher. I studied with Manuel Compinsky until I was twelve. He was a wonderful teacher: He really did what my father called "supervised practice." That is, I would have four or five lessons a week, and he would practice with me. What he taught me was how to practice. For example, just to say to somebody, "well, go home and work on your intonation." People have no idea what that requires, and this is what Mr. Compinsky taught me, was how to practice and he was meticulous. I remember many lessons in which I would be exhausted (laughs), practically falling asleep, but he wouldn't let one note go by if it was out of tune. He was such an incredible teacher. Interviewer: Were you formally trained in an musical institute, such as Juilliard or Curtis?

Extractions: HH : I was surely most influenced by my two teachers Klara Berkovich in Baltimore, from age five to ten, and Jascha Brodsky in Philadelphia, from age ten to 17. Both were very demanding teachers, but very kind, superb violinists: musicians of style and taste who allowed no technical shortcuts. I was extremely lucky to grow up under their guidance. HH : It gives young players and old ones, for that matter an opportunity to see that they are part of a long and very rich tradition of violinists, each of whom played differently, each of whom played effectively. And for those who are studious, it is a great resource for studying the technique of playing the violin. Nearly every school, every body type, every possible manner of holding the violin and bow is represented. GP : The filmmakers touch on the fact that the careers of some child prodigies were cut short due to the pressures of stardom. Is this a concern among contemporary artists like yourself, who have been in the spotlight from such a young age? How do you cope with the rigors of performing and being in the public eye?

Extractions: EMI 67250 All right, if asked to name the finest violinist of this century I would probably hesitate only a bit before suggesting Nathan Milstein. Time and again I find myself hearing more music in the music than I hear from other violinists. I prefer Milstein to Heifetz any day. Perlman, in contrast, seems like he is on automatic pilot most of the time. This disc offers me even more evidence for Milstein's case. Anyway, what Milstein does here, as always, is "get inside" the music. Somehow Milstein's playing immerses itself into the role, much like a consummate actor does. Whenever I listen to Heifetz or Perlman I am aware of the musicians first and then the music. This is not the case with Milstein. This may be why this recording is the first to open my ears. Perhaps some comparisons are in order. If I confess a perverse preference for Silvia Marcovici with Stokowski (if you can get it, on London Phase 4 455157) it is Perverse. Much slower, much darker than Milstein and Steinberg. The very opening solo has a more gypsy flavor to it. The flautist in the second movement is also darker, more with an almost reedy quality to the playing. As for more recent comparisons, I certainly prefer Milstein to the recent, critically hailed, Vengerov recording on Teldec. While Vengerov is very good, Milstein is the enemy of the very good.

Extractions: Vox Allegretto ACD 8207 1996 ADD 58:01 Rosand brought to this enterprise a rich, buttery tone, which he nevertheless deployed with the austerity of a Cistercian monk (it may have been this chasteness that Milstein so admired). His somewhat heavy bow arm was coupled with a solid left-hand technique (reminiscent of Paganini's foil, Spohr), complementing an unerring sense of pitch. He had a tendency like David Oistrakh's to slow down in technical passages, adding extra weight to them, and a flair for the occasional dramatic, even eccentric, gesture. But the underlying virtuoso excitement of a Heifetz, a Milstein - or even a Szigeti - was always lacking; taking its place was the kind of benign placidity that now puts the final dehumanizing touch on the younger generation of contest winners. If it's there at all, Rosand's "ultra-romanticism" lies buried in the phrases and sentences, not in the paragraphs and chapters. Still, Rosand is always worth hearing. He is not faceless like the generation of violinists that succeeded him. And he never fails to turn in a well-crafted, polished performance. He certainly doesn't fail to do so in these reissues of the Mendelssohn and Tchaikovsky violin concertos, originally recorded in 1972. Like most of his readings, these are rich in detail - he has discovered poetic moments in the Tchaikovsky's slow movement where others have found only prose, and he is commanding in the finale in passages where others are perfunctory. The Mendelssohn concerto is harder to personalize without risking mannerism; and, despite his reputation, Rosand on the whole is a classical rather than a mannered player.
