About the Artists
Nathan Milstein has been honored in many nations as one of the great musical figures of our time. He left his native Russia in 1925 and, since his Paris debut in 1926, has toured throughout the world. He first visited the United States in 1929 and by the end of that tour had established himself as a fabulous technician, a supremely sensitive interpreter, and a favorite of audiences from coast to coast. As an arranger and transcriber, Mr. Milstein has added many pieces to the violin reper?toire; and as a recording artist he has recorded the major works of the violin repertoire over the span of his career, with his most recent recordings--the Bach Partitas and Sonatas for Violin Alone--winning the coveted Grammy Award. He performs on a Stradivarius dated 1716. generally considered the best year of that master's golden period.
Mr. Milstein has been an important part of the Musical Society's 100-year history. Since 1933 he has performed from this stage a total of ten times--six recitals in the Choral Union Series and at four May Festivals.
George I'luderniacher was born in France and completed his musical training at the Con?servatoire. A winner of the prestigious piano competition at Leeds, England, he has performed extensively in France, where he resides, and throughout Europe. Mr. Pludermacher has played on tour with Nathan Milstein both in Europe and the United States.
