Nathan Mironovich Milstein (1904-1992) performed at a high level into his mid 80s, retiring only after suffering a broken hand. After playing many different violins in his earlier days including the 1710 ex-"Dancla" Stradivarius for a short period, Milstein finally acquired the 1716 "Goldman" Stradivarius in 1945 which he used for the rest of his life. He renamed this Stradivarius the "Maria Teresa" in honour of his daughter Maria.

Vivaldi was imitated and paraphrased for several decades in the 18th century, but his style is actually quite inimitable. This is why his singular voice speaks to us now with such genuine directness and individuality.
