Legendary violonists:
Milstein, Nathan (Mironovich), celebrated Russian-born American violinist; b. Odessa, Dec. 31, 1904; d. London, Dec. 21, 1992.
His father was a well-to-do merchant in woolen goods, and his mother was an amateur violinist who gave him his first lessons. He then began to study with Stoliarsky in Odessa, remaining under his tutelage until 1914. He then went to St. Petersburg, where he entered Auer's class at the St. Petersburg Conservatory (1915-17). He began his concert career in 1919, with his sister as piano accompanist. In Kiev he met Horowitz, and they began giving duo recitals in 1921; later they were joined by Piatigorsky, and organized a trio. In 1925 Milstein went to Berlin and then to Brussels, where he met Ysaÿe, who encouraged him in his career. He gave several recitals in Paris, then proceeded to South America. On Oct. 28, 1929, he made his American debut with the Philadelphia Orchestra conducted by Stokowski. In 1942 he became a naturalized American citizen. After the end of World War II in 1945, Milstein appeared regularly in all of the principal music centers of the world. He performed with most of the great orchestras and gave numerous recitals. He celebrated the 50th anniversary of his American debut in 1979 by giving a number of solo recitals and appearing as soloist with American orchestras. As an avocation, he began painting and drawing, arts in which he achieved a certain degree of self-satisfaction. He also engaged in teaching; held master classes at the Juilliard School of Music in N.Y., and also in Zürich. Milstein was renowned for his technical virtuosity and musical integrity. He composed a number of violin pieces, including "Paganiniana" (1954); also prepared cadenzas for the violin concertos of Beethoven and Brahms. His autobiography was published as FROM RUSSIA TO THE WEST (N.Y., 1990).

Nathan Milstein (* 31. Dezember 1903 in Odessa, Russisches Reich, † 21. Dezember 1992 in London) war ein amerikanischer Violinist ukrainischer Herkunft.
Milstein gilt als einer der größten Geiger des 20. Jahrhunderts, in einer Reihe mit Adolf Busch, Bonislav Hubermann, Kulenkampff, Menuhin, Kogan, heifetz und anderen. Bereits als 4-Jähriger erhält er (weil die Mutter das rebellische Kind besänftigen will) bei Pjotr S. Stoljarsky ersten Violinunterricht. Sein Debüt gab er als 10-Jähriger mit Glasunows Violinkonzert unter der Leitung des Komponisten. 1915 wechselt Milstein zu Leopold Auer, dem Meister der russischen Violinschule am Sankt Petersburger Konservatorium.
Ab 1923 unternahm er mit seinem Freund, dem Pianisten Vladimir Horowitz, Konzertreisen durch die Sowjetunion. 1925 hatten beide zusammen gefeierte Auftritte in Westeuropa (u.a. Paris und Berlin). Seine nächste Station war Brüssel, wo er bei Eugène Ysaye studierte, der ihn ermutigte. 1929 unternahm er mit Horowitz und dem Cellisten Gregor Piatigorsky eine Tournee durch die USA,bekannt als "die drei Musketiere". Er spielte auf der "Ex-Goldmann"-Stradivari, die er fortan "Marie-Therèse" nannte. Aufsehen bei Solisten und Orchestern erregte er auch häufig damit, dass er sogar während den Konzerten und Proben stets die Fingersätze wechselte, denn nach seiner Auffassung schränkt ein immer gleichbleibender Fingersatz die Interpretationsmöglichkeiten ein.
Seit den 1960er Jahren feierte er mit seinem Klavierbegleiter Georges Pludermacher weltweit Erfolge.
Berühmt wurde Milstein unter Anderem durch seine Einspielung der Sonaten und Partiten Johann Sebastian Bachs, mit der er einen bis heute gültigen Standard höchster Kunst geschaffen hat.
