About the artist Nathan Milstein

Nathan Milstein

Born on 31 December 1903 in Odessa, that melting-pot and forge of musicians, Nathan Mironovich Milstein was the third of seven children of a reasonably prosperous merchant. He studied the violin with two famous pedagogues: Pyotr Stoliarsky in Odessa and Leopold Auer in St Petersburg.

Though he was always equivocal about his teachers, it is clear that the one gave him the good grounding and the other applied the final polish needed to launch his career as a professional violinist. Milstein’s solid bourgeois background and his own inquiring mind supplied the other requisites. He was always interested in the other art forms and became perhaps the most cultured of all 20th-century violin virtuosi, even if he sometimes arrived at the right destination by an unusual route. For instance, from having no background at all in Bach performance, he developed into one of the finest interpreters of the solo sonatas and partitas, coming to them by way of the analogous works of Max Reger.
