In his youth he was a student of Pyotr Stolyarsky , who also taught David Oistrach and Nathan Milstein . As a composer he wrote a. a. several works that were published under the names of other composers, e.g. B. 1948 the alleged 21st symphony by Nikolaj Ovsjanniko-Kulikowski (1768-1846), which became famous as a musical hoax . He also gave frequent concerts as a violinist. He also recorded 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 due to a hand injury, he concentrated on his compositional and music education activities.

Since 1969 he has been professor of violin at the Hamburg University of Music , where he trained many musicians who later became award winners at Jugend musiziert . His long-time assistant was Erdmute Knolle. In 1984 he received the Cross of Merit on Ribbon of the Federal Republic of Germany for his music education work and his social commitment . He gave many concerts together with Galina Kowal and Michael Minsky a . a. in the music hall in Hamburg.
His younger brother Boris Goldstein (1922–1987) was also an important violin virtuoso, who also emigrated to Germany. The physicist Eugen Goldstein (1850–1930) was his father's uncle.
