    Nathan Milstein came from family of 12 children-there very many with this last name related to violinist

  • Warren says:

    I do not think Maria Milstein is related to Nathan Milstein, despite rumors that they are.

  • Melisande says:

    Certainly well-earned prize for the remarkable violinist Maria Milstein. Congrutalations.
    As her sister Nathalie Milstein already explained on this site in 2015: the Milstein family, living in the Netherlands, is not related to the violinist Nathan Milstein, but they are descendants from grandfather Yakov Milstein, a famous Russian musicologist.
    Milstein is a surname that often can be found in Russia.
