His vigorous, intensive tone; his unsentimental, straightforward playing; his boundless virtuosity: these are the trademarks of the Russian violinist Nathan Milstein. In Lucerne “Nathan the Great” shone with the concertos of Mendelssohn and Dvořák during the 1950s. Conducting: Igor Markevitch and Ernest Ansermet, whose discographies until now have not featured these works.
