Szymon Goldberg was a Polish-born violinist and conductor, one of the distinguished string players of the twentieth century. He was concertmaster of the Berlin Philharmonic before building an international career as soloist, chamber musician and conductor.

In the Pristine catalogue he appears in Milhaud’s Quatre Saisons and Saudades de Printemps, conducted by the composer.

Goldberg’s playing combined elegance, clarity and chamber-music intelligence, qualities especially valuable in French and modern repertory.

His page is justified by stature and catalogue context. Goldberg gives the Milhaud shelf a violin line of refinement and old European discipline.
