with all these hints are we being encouraged to look up the particular BaL on the old messageboard ourselves ? [because I still can't find it]Comment

Nor can I! Very strange. I've searched around the time on the old CD Review messageboard....Perhaps just as well. I seem to remember Nathan Milstein got short shrift.Originally posted by mercia View PostComment

What did she say about Ida Haendel's Testament recordings of the pieces made as late as 1996 but she was stlll in excellent form then .Originally posted by Richard Tarleton View PostComment

Can't remember, it was so long ago, but the tone of the short list was female and HIPP, and provoked some, er, discussion at the time. I can't even remember what she said about my own co-favourite version (alongside Milstein, of course), Viktoria Mullova's 2nd attempt, which was only just issued at the time - certainly it didn't win. I once saw Rachel Podger plus violin case at Paddington Station, I'm sure it was her (she was travelling, not busking).Originally posted by Barbirollians View PostComment

Here not the place, but would you like to expand a little by starting a a separate thread on Milstein, akiralx? With a throwaway comment like that about one of the last century's great violinists, I would be tempted to ask who's making itOriginally posted by akiralx View Post

OK, that's fine, but you are certainly in a minority of possibly one.Originally posted by akiralx View Post

Yes, I would agree. Personally I find it difficult to choose between Heifetz, Milstein and Kreisler as to who is the greatest, so I kind of lump them together, as the pinacle of violin playing and great musicianship. Certainly Milstein had the most natural, relaxed and reliable technique which served his artistry to perfection. The same could be also said of the other two - and for me their interpretations are never quite equalled by anyone else, even if I would happily say that of course there are other great players around - both past and present.
A violinist I know who studied with Milstein extensively told me that he was so relaxed that could not bring himself to tense the bowarm (something you have to do) and so never performed up bow (or down bow) staccato, which was something Heifetz excelled in and did electrifyingly brilliantly.
P.S. I'm not really a house expert, just a failed player.Comment
