Nathan Milstein
Biography
Nathan Milstein
Source: Freebase
Nathan Mironovich Milstein (January 13, 1904 (Old Style: December 31, 1903) – December 21, 1992) was a virtuoso violinist born in Russia. He died in London just weeks before his 89 birthday. Widely considered one of the finest violinists of the 20th century, Milstein was known for his interpretations of Bach’s solo violin works and for works from the Romantic period. He was also known for his long career: he performed at a high level into his mid 80s, retiring only after suffering a broken hand. Milstein started violin studies with the eminent violin pedagogue Piotr Stolyarsky. Among Milstein’s other teachers were two celebrated violinists, Leopold Auer in St. Petersburg and Eugène Ysaÿe in Belgium. He told film-maker Christopher Nupen, director of Nathan Milstein – A Portrait, that he learned almost nothing from Ysaÿe but enjoyed his company enormously.
