Amazing interpretation of Op 108. Horowitz above any other pianist for this sonata, so much legato, restrain and « cushioning » for the violin. Amazing sound and colors as always. Unfortunate they didn’t record more together.
When I first heard this I was surprised by the delicacy and perhaps restraint in their playing. But now I think I hear mutual respect and fondness. And of course the extreme beauty of the sublime.
I knew they played together, but I didn't remember that this was in their repertory. I am going to feast on this. I heard Milstein play with orchestra when he was very old-FANTASTIC!. And this very difficult piano part is right up Horowitz's alley in terms of tonal control required. This will be VERY GOOD, I'm sure! I'm listening to the first movement as I write!
They left the Soviet Union together to come to the West. I love this performance. But I also love Szeryng-Rubinstein. Szeryng was such a beautiful player and Rubinstein, with that golden sound and straight-forward natural musicality, was just wonderful in Brahms, maybe beyond compare. I don't think anyone else needs to play the Op. 5 Sonata after hearing Rubinstein.
The Brahms 3rd sonata is one of my all-time favorites, & I've heard many versions of it. Because Brahms was a great pianist, it is one of those sonatas in which the piano part is even more difficult than the violin solo. This is also true of the Beethoven sonatas. The problem with this recording is that Milstein is often drowned out by the piano. Heifetz always played close to the microphone. Perhaps Milstein was too far away. Or, perhaps, the microphone was placed too close to the piano. Listen to the Heifetz version to hear what I mean.
At times the unsurpassed Mr. Horowitz takes the title "for PIANO and violin" a bit too literally. It's ok. Mr. Milstein laser beam high register is cutting through!)))
I didn't realise that they recorded together. Marvellous.
What a superb find and share! Wonderful, thank you!
In these days I fill my time with checking all Horowitz recordings and giving them thumbs up. Marvellous!
A noble pastime!
May his star give a twinkle of pleasure with every thumbs up he receives. He’s still giving so much pleasure to us folks down here.

Extremely artistic performance, best of the bests.
Artistry of the highest order.
this recording has such beautiful balance between the two parts. idk what people are complaining about lol
Yes, how could anyone dislike this. 🫤
Gorgeous Horowitz had the most beautiful tone. Milstein is great here.
sublime interprétation : deux grands artistes, un accord parfait

Just warms the ❤️ on a snowy winter’s eve! What a duo!

2nd movement : 7:56
bravo! thank you....Any Milstein is better than most things...VH is far from my favorite, but goes well with Nathan...
Oh who cares if "VH" is far from your favourite. "All goes well"? Patronising, pygmy stuff
Only 13 comments....for best of the best!!!
So true and quite sad. It shows how much people’s taste has gone down these days, as they prefer more obvious and loud interpretations.

When they were teen-agers they toured around Russia together.
2 giants, can't get it better. Maybe with Oistrakh and Richter.
With all my love for Oistrach/Richter, I prefer this. By far.
Yes it can. The Heifetz version is at the top.
