If this recording reels you in, you’re in for a treat.

Although he has a lot of enchanting work out there, this recording captures his essence very well, and it reflects how talented he was, even at a young age. Nothing better to wrap up the list than a touch of the sweet child prodigy that’s Micheal Rabin. This was an early sign of a severe neurological condition that tragically resulted in his career being cut short. During a recital aged only 35, Rabin lost his balance and fell forward. Michael Rabin (1936 – 1972) was an American violinist and has been described as one of the most talented violin virtuosi of his generation.

In a way, it carries the same light atmosphere as the violin performance. If you end up liking this record, you might want to check out Georg Meredith’s poem by the same name. It’ll take you to a warm countryside landscape, and it might be the right pick for you if you’d take nature over the sophistication of a concert room. You’ll love this recording if you’re looking for a serene experience. Brown’s character is there with every note, but it doesn’t overpower Vaughan’s true vision one bit. Just by listening to Iona Brown’s rendition of The Lark Ascending, you can tell how much passion she carried for the piece. The sound of singing larks during long walks in the English countryside influenced Brown’s playing style. Brown describes how hard it is to play the lark ascending in a BBC documentary entitled ‘kaleidoscope ’. Iona Brown (1941 – 2004) was a British violinist and conductor who played in the philharmonic orchestra as lead violin. Iona Brown – Vaughan Williams The Lark Ascending The way he carries the sad melody but maintains the gentle closing is beautifully complex.Ĥ. However, if we absolutely had to take a pick, it’d probably be the solo sonata No.2 in A Minor, BWV 1003. The speed is just perfect, and he adds life to the composition in a way that makes it hard to even choose a favorite sonata from the recording. Not only because they stem from Bach’s genius, but also because Milstein’s interpretation of the piece is close to perfection. Nathan Milstein’s recordings of the Sonatas and Partitas are one of the all-time greats. His natural technical ability, flowing style and tonal perfection mean his recordings never sound dated. Nathan Milstein (1904 – 1992) was widely considered one of the finest violinists of the 20th century.
