| Following up the best selling success of Nathan Milstein’s 1946
Library of Congress Recital (BRIDGE 9064) is this first release of the legendary
violinist’s only other concert at the library- a 1953 recital with pianist
Artur Balsam. The program consists of three of the great masterpieces from the
violin repertoire- Beethoven’s "Spring Sonata", Bach’s Partita in
D Minor, and Brahms’s Sonata in D Minor, Op. 108.
The historic release is made possible through a new co-production agreement
between The Library of Congress and Bridge Records, and is the fourth volume of
the series "Great Performances from The Library of Congress". Featured
on this disc are a majestic and intensely played performance of Bach’s
Chaconne, and an elegantly phrased "Spring Sonata", and a Brahms D
Minor Sonata rendered with passion and style. Hear why so many critics rate
Milstein as one of the greatest violinists of our century!
