A magical performance at 82 years of age! I have been his fan for 65 years (now am past 75) A fussion of phenomenal technique, that subserved his music. He displayed the architectural magnificence of whatever he plays, to telling effect! His Beethoven concerto is beyond compare! So also his Glazunov, Bruch, & many others! Thanks for the post.

He wiped the tears from his right eye after the final chord. It's even better than his 1968 recording because he slows down and attacks the chords less aggressively. This chaconne is more soulful.

Heifetz and Milstein were great artist. There is no point in comparing them. I fell in love with this piece at 2 a.m one night, when I heard Milstein play it. Wonderful!

It's absolutely incredible that at the age of 82 Milstein could still pull off an absolutely world-class performance, playing some of the most difficult works in the repertoire -- at this same recital he also played Sarasate's Introduction and Tarantella! Based on some of the recordings I've heard, Heifetz' technique was already severely degrading by the time he was 70. Milstein is a legend.

This is by far the best KZbin violin video of all. Why there are so few views shows that most people who watch violin videos know little or nothing about what an artist and his instrument can accomplish. Milstein has totally captivated his audience with this great piece of music by hypnotizing them with his amazing artistic performance. I have never seen anything come close to this in all the other violin videos I have watched on KZbin. God bless him for leaving us with such a wonderful legacy.

The comments below address the miracle of NM being able to play the violin so well at 82. I agree with every one of these observations but would add at this is one of the most structurally coherent performance of the Chaconne you are likely to hear. NM never lets his listeners forget that the origin of the Chaconne is a DANCE--as Bach knew full well.

Sans avoir été jamais un de ses "fans", je lui trouve quand même une vraie classe, une conscience du son et de la direction de la phrase qui forcent le respect. C'est son dernier concert, il est mort 6 ans plus tard. Certains s'arrêtent à temps et évitent ainsi de sombrer dans le pathétique comme Gitlis dont les derniers concerts étaient une vraie injure à l'art.....

Il se rapproche du jeu baroque. Ça ne dépasse que rarement la troisième position, alors que dans son enregistremenr de 75, il effectuait les accords en 7ème, 9ème, ce qui rendait un brillant incroyable.

I was there. The summer of 1986. Funny, I can see myself in the audience, then a young man. A year after, I think in 1987, I had the opportunity to hear Szeryng. Concert hall a few blocks from my home, cheap tickets. "Nah, Szeryng?? Is he any good." I decided not to go, did some other everyday things instead. Didn't know much about Szeryng then, had only a record or two but wasn't aware of his Mercury recordings et c. Well, that was Szeryng's last concert in my country, and he died about a year later. Arrrgh!!! And, also, at about the same period, I had a chance to hear Richter live. Skipped it, a bit more expensive tickets and some travelling. And I wasn’t that much into piano stuff. No one told me this was to be the last chance of my lifetime ...

Filmed for Christopher Nupen's Milstein documentary. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmWramCabrRlq6M Astonishingly if you watch carefully he rarely uses the first finger of his left hand. The concert nearly didn't happen because he had injured his finger but it went ahead and he refingered the repertoire to avoid his first finger as much as possible. A perfect ending to his career, sadly cut 'short' by an injury that stopped him playing.
