About

Recordings by virtuoso violinist Nathan Milstein of Violin Concertos by Beethoven, Brahms, Mendelssohn, Tchaikovsky and Bruch.

The Violin Concertos recorded here are among the best known of the great 19th-century production for violin and orchestra, and see as a soloist one of the reference names among 20th-century violinists. Nathan Milstein was not a neophyte in this repertoire, having performed these concertos accompanied by the most famous international orchestras and the greatest conductors. However, his interpretations remain a model within a discography which, without his contribution, cannot be considered complete. From the old Columbia and Capitol engravings, Urania restores the preset selection, which is reproposed with a new code, after the previous edition (WS121153) sold out in a few weeks.

Recorded 1955-1960

Reviews

Milstein’s cadenza is dispatched with technical aplomb and brilliance and his awareness of portamenti is best illustrated in the slow movement. He is exciting and communicative in the finale [Brahms Violin Concerto in D major].
