5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning, 27 Mar 2006
By R.Powell (Wirral, England) - See all my reviews
I already had Milstein's recording of the Mendelssohn, Bruch and Tchaikovsky concertos and was looking to buy a recording of the Bach Sonatas and Partitas. I had heard alot of good things about his Bach recordings and after having been blown away by his Mendelssohn, decided to go for this recording. Nothing could have possibly prepared me for what can only be described as some of the most breathtaking performances I have ever heard. This man deserves so much more recognition than he currently gets.

He puts the music first in these recordings, like he always did, with none of the egotistical interpretations that many of the other great violinists seem to display. He plays them with an immense amount of passion and love for the music, portraying the religious contemplation and power in Bach's works, while maintaining an amazingly natural technique that, in my opinion, is the closest a violinist will probably ever get to perfection.

There is not one mediocre movement on this CD and I have yet to hear a recording that even comes close to matching it. Every track is a gem but to name a few highlights, the Fugue in the G minor sonata is nothing short of incredible, whilst the Borea and Double in the B minor partita make you want to practise alot more! The chaccone in the D minor partita is out this world and the Preludio to the E major partita is seamless. I cannot find one critisism with this performance!

The sound is excellent and you will not find any ridiculous cuts on these Discs as Milstein was a fanatic about continuity and so when he had to do any retakes (which i wouldn't imagine was very often!) he would go back to the start of the movement or from a repeat instead of begining halfway through phrases.

You cannot go wrong with this disc! The violin at it's most sublime.

5.0 out of 5 stars Benevolent, 12 Feb 2009
By J. Severidt "jornfin" (Rovaniemi, Finland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Choleric though Bach seems to have been as a man, he did leave the world an enormous treasure of music in its purest form. There is always something humane, and somehow benevolent, to Bach's music.
These are exactly the qualities that Milstein brings out. I used to have a recording on EMI by the young Yehudi Menuhin, still a wunderkind when it was recorded. That was a stunning performance and is recommendable for many qualities. Yet, it made me think "virtuosity" rather than "benevolence".
After listening to Milstein once, I put Menuhin up for sale. The way these hypnotic works are played here, just seems perfect. The focus is entirely on the music, not on the performer.
German historian Joachim Fernau argued that Bach was using music as a means to communicate with the god he believed in, introducing a highly intimate, and spiritual dimension to (non-sacred) music. These works are a case in point, and Milstein seems to follows Bach's lead.
The violin is recorded with great clarity, and yet with beautiful warmth, too.
