"There is ... no definitive interpretation for Menuhin but the search for repose, for a place where music, far from any pretension, vibrates naturally, where it can breathe more than show off."
-Eric Taver Y ehudi Menuhin had one of the longest and most distinguished careers of any violinist of the twentieth century. The child of recent immigrants, Menuhin was born in New York in 1916. By the age of seven his performance of Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto had found him instant fame. As a teenager he toured throughout the world and was considered one of the greats long before his twentieth birthday. Even in his earliest recordings one can sense deeply passionate responses to the great composers. Though considered a technical master, it is his highly charged emotional playing that set him apart. World War II he played five hundred concerts for Allied troops, and later returned to Germany to play for inmates recently liberated from the concentration camps. This visit to Germany had a profound effect on Menuhin.

Yehudi Menuhin (1916-1999)
Three stages in the life of a violinist By Eric Taver
PARIS, 7 May 1999
- Extravagant tribute has been paid "to the musician and especially the man" (heard on a radio program) who was Yehudi Menuhin. Some even confused the man with the enterprises that profit from the Menuhin "logo" and prosper in its wake. They almost forgot to speak about Menuhin the violinist, the phenomenon who simultaneously astounded America between the wars, commissioned and created one of the masterpieces of the 20th century - Bartok's Sonata for solo violin - and conversed on an equal footing in the greatest concertos of the German repertoire with one of the masters of the tradition - Wilhelm Furtwängler.
His second great teacher, who made him feel like "a midget", was Enesco. Enesco was not American but a wanderer. In Vienna and then in Paris where he was the pupil of the Belgian Martin Marsick, Enesco was Romanian. But in his own country, he was not Romanian but Moldavian. Persinger and Enesco taught Menuhin in the style of the Franco-Belgian school, but as reinvented by exiles. In fact, Menuhin's playing was self-taught, a new style of playing, just as America is the new world.

Yehudi Menuhin (Conductor, Violin) Born: April 22, 1916 – New York, USA
Died: March 12, 1999 – Berlin, Germany
The American violinist and conductor Yehudi Menuhin had one of the longest and most distinguished careers of any violinist of the twentieth century. Menuhin was born in New York of Russian-Jewish parents, recent immigrants to America. By the age of seven his performance of Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto had found him instant fame. As a teenager he toured throughout the world and was considered one of the greats long before his twentieth birthday. Even in his earliest recordings one can sense deeply passionate responses to the great composers. Though considered a technical master, it is his highly charged emotional playing that set him apart.
As a young man Menuhin went to Paris to study under violinist and composer George Enesco . Enesco was a primary influence on Menuhin and the two remained friends and collaborators throughout their lives. During the thirties, Menuhin was a sought after international performer. Over the course of World War II he played five hundred concerts for Allied troops, and later returned to Germany to play for inmates recently liberated from the concentration camps. This visit to Germany had a profound effect on Menuhin.
As a Jew and a classical musician, Menuhin had a complex relationship with German culture. He was fluent in German and deeply influenced by classical German composers. Menuhin found in the German conductor

Yehudi Menuhin
Violinist, born April 22, 1916, New York, New York; died March 12, 1999 Y ehudi Menuhin's first solo red-letter day was November 25, 1927, when, at the age of 11, he electrified Carnegie Hall with his interpretation of the Beethoven Violin Concerto. That historic appearance with the New York Symphony, under Fritz Busch, launched an already promising career that continued to make history for six decades.
R eviewing Menuhin's Carnegie Hall debut, the New York Times stated: "It seems ridiculous to say that he showed a mature conception of Beethoven's Concerto, but that is the fact. When the bow touched the strings, it was evident that an exceptional musical intelligence and sensibility were behind the performance." When young Menuhin followed that dazzling success with a solo recital at Carnegie Hall a few weeks later, a police detail was called out to keep the overflowing crowd under control. T he distinguished violinist and conductor had given his first public performance as a soloist playing the violin at age seven with the San Francisco Orchestra, under the baton of Alfred Hertz, two years after starting to take violin lessons with Sigmund Anker, who specialized in teaching child prodigies.

LONDON (AP) Violinist Yehudi Menuhin has died after a 75-year career devoted to helping young musicians and promoting his belief that music is an international language. His colleagues and world leaders remembered him as one of the century's master musicians. "His style of playing, particularly in his early years, was a stunning patrician elegance with a very natural musical line which fitted the style of whatever composition," violinist Isaac Stern said Friday. Menuhin died Friday in a hospital in Berlin, where he was to have conducted the Warsaw Symphony Orchestra before he was taken ill. He was 82. He had pneumonia and died of heart failure, his London office said.

Humphrey Burton
Biographer
He went on to develop his talents as a violinist, conductor and teacher, founding the Yehudi Menuhin School, in Surrey, for gifted young musicians in 1963. Menuhin was born in New York of Russian Jewish parents. But he came to settle in Britain in 1985 - drawn, he said, by his love for the music of the English composer Sir Edward Elgar. Human Rights campaigner At the age of 16 the young violinist was conducted by Sir Edward in a now famous recording of the composer's violin concerto, made in 1932.

    Richard Vogel/Gamma Liaison
    “Today you have again proven to me that there is a God in heaven.” — Albert Einstein on Menuhin One of the foremost virtuoso violinists of our time, Yehudi Menuhin was more than a musician. He was an idealistic supporter of hundreds of charities and causes. When the legendary violinist died of a heart attack on March 12, tributes poured in. British Prime Minister Tony Blair called him one of the greatest musicians of his age. United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan praised him as a tireless campaigner for world peace, human rights, the environment and the United Nations. An American by birth, Menuhin lived in Europe for most of his life. He described himself as an internationalist, and in the ’50s, he contended that peace would be achieved only under a single benign world government. In 1985, he became a British subject. He had been given an honorary knighthood by Britain 19 years earlier. Politics and visions of a utopian future often seemed to he as much on his mind as music making.
