Mikhail Goldstein

Michael Emmanuilovich Goldstein (pseudonym: Mihajlo Michajlovsky ) ( born November 8, 1917 in Odessa, † September 7, 1989 in Hamburg) was an Israeli violinist, conductor, composer and music educator Russian- Soviet origin.

Michael Goldstein received from the age of four violin lessons and made his debut at the age of five years as a child prodigy. In his youth he was a pupil of Pyotr Stolyarski, who also taught David Oistrakh and Nathan Milstein. As a composer, he wrote, inter alia, several works that were published under the names of other composers, such as 1948, the alleged 21 Symphony of Nikolai Owsjanniko - Kulikowski ( 1768-1846 ), who gained fame as a musical hoax. He also gave concerts frequently as a violinist. In addition, he took on various records, in particular, the Sonatas and Partitas for solo violin by Johann Sebastian Bach. After he had to give up his career as a violinist with a hand injury, he focused on his composition and music education activities. In 1963 he emigrated from the Soviet Union and came to detours through East Berlin, Vienna, Jerusalem and London in 1969 in the Federal Republic of Germany. Since 1969 he worked as professor of violin at the Musikhochschule Hamburg and trained there many musicians, the winners were making music at youth later. In 1984 he was awarded for his teaching work and his social commitment, the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany. He gave many concerts together with Galina Kowal and Michael Minsky, inter alia, in the music hall in Hamburg.

His younger brother Boris Goldstein (1922-1987) was also a significant violin virtuoso, who emigrated to Germany also.
