His name: Nathan Mironovich Milstein. His instrument: the violin. This most professional, most modest and most honest of great musicians talks about his life, his career, his music and his friends; particularly about Auer, Glazounov, Rachmaninov, Horowitz and Piatigorsky. He also talks entertainingly about music to a younger friend and fellow violinist, Pinchas Zukerman. In the film, Zukerman asks, "l know that you are wonderfully simple and that everything you do is so wonderfully simple, but I want to know why it is so simple?" Nathan Milstein's answer: "If you are complicated, you spoil yourself." I have never met a musician who better lived out that simple truth than Nathan Milstein."
