Extractions: Sir Yehudi Menuhin, Stephane Grappelli And "ALL THE WORLDS VIOLINS" Royal Circus, Brussels October 21, 1993 The International Yehudi Menuhin Foundation organised its second Gala concert at the Royal Circus on 21sst October 1993. The Foundations main aim is to develop international links between musicians, particularly among the young. The theme of this concert took therefore the form of a journey through cultures, the common strand being the violin in its different guises. This journey from classical music to traditional music showed that these two styles are far from being mutually exclusive, on the contrary they truly enriched one another. It also demonstrated the fact that, through such a universal language as music, all men are brothers. It therefore became an invitation to travel implying at the same time openness and encounter. Not only an encounter between different genres and people, between the master and the pupil, but also between musicians and the public as thanks to the central and circular scene of the Royal Circus, the music was in the midst of the public and in so being distance and boundaries vanished. Sir Yehudi Menuhin opened the evening with a work by Bach and then welcomed Stephane Grappelli on stage. Hosts of the evening, they played together for a while and then introduced the younger to the violin. Two young Asian girls from the Yehudi Menuhin School performed Bartok duos. They were followed by Dr. L. Subramaniam, the "Indian Paganini" and poet as many have called him, who performed pieces from the classical Indian repertoire. He was joined by Volker Biesenbender; a former student of Sir Yehudi Menuhin, for a dialogue between two violins. The first half finished on the image of the journey, brought to life by the Gypsy Titi Winterstein Quintett.

Extractions: The BBC's Nick Higham looks back on the life of a musical genius He was born in New York of Russian-Jewish parents, who nurtured his talents with the best teachers available. He was an astounding musical prodigy, making his debut at the age of seven. By the age of 13, he had performed in London, Paris and Berlin. The young prodigy Albert Einstein heard him and remarked: "Now I know there is a God in heaven". It was, Yehudi Menuhin freely admitted, a protected childhood. "My parents chose the people" he said. "My mother was extremely exacting. No-one would cross the threshold whom she had any reservations about. They had to be people of genuine quality, of integrity." Another admirer was that most English of composers, Sir Edward Elgar. In 1932, Elgar conducted his Violin Concerto in a classic recording with the 16-year old Menuhin - who later settled in England, becoming a British citizen in 1985.

Extractions: Partita No. 3 in E, BWV 1006 Format: Compact Disc Record Label: EMI Catalog Number: Year Released/Recorded: Recorded: 1934-36 Total Playing Time: Comments: Tal Guttman said: A very old recording, But if you're not afraid of it's age, you'll get one of the best preformances. Menuhin is amazing, especially in the Ciaccona, so If you're into works for solo violin, I highly recomend this one. Shinyoung Kang said: I am disappointed about the fact that there was only one comment on this magnificent recording. I guess it doesn't do a justice to this superb recording. I cannot recommend this recording to a biginner whose ears are not used to old mono recording because the sound quality is no where near stereo/4D recordings.

Extractions: Comment : Menuhin plays like an angel. He invites you to communicate with him heart and soul the whole time he plays. Here, or in fact anytime at all, he played the Mozart Concerto somewhat like Hassid: not just every note talks like a human, they're cries and weeps and moans from the deepest of one's soul. The way Menuhin played his Beethoven is probaby the most difficult one, especially the cadenza. It's more than 3 dimensional: so full of colours and emotions, even more condensed than Thibaud. Few violinists would even dare to try it this way. So it's a different orientation altogether. The standard of demonic, with respect, is the least applicable to Menuhin. To Menuhin, most Russian ways of playing simply lacked a whole dimension. Menuhun's Bruch is most wonderful too, in a way it is even more marvelous than his Mozart. We have three concertos here and Menuhin was supported by different orchestras in each piece. In the first concerto, it was an orchestra from London, the second one from Paris and the third one from Germany. It's interesting to compare these orchestras from different part of Europe. Probably the standard in these countries are not much different now. The first one, the London Symphony was conducted by Sir Colin Davis, who was so young then and his gestures are enormous yet the collaboration was very good indeed. How come a clarinetist could make a good conductor? Amazaing. The second one was conducted by Menuhin himself and the third one by Fricsay. All of them are miles better than the conductor we see from Szeryng's 2003 DVD.
Extractions: BUY NOW Crotchet AmazonUK AmazonUS The music recorded here derives from an hour-long CBC television programme recorded in October 1965 and broadcast the following year. To acknowledge what was recorded is also to consider what was not. Gould had suggested to Menuhin Mozarts Piano Sonata K570 in the apocryphal version for violin as well as sonatas by Brahms and Beethoven and those by Prokofiev and Strauss if his original plan of the Schoenberg Phantasy should prove inimical to the violinist. In the event he neednt have worried because Menuhin accepted (though with clear misgivings about the work). Sometimes Menuhin hit prime form with unlikely keyboard partners one thinks of his New York association with Wanda Landowska for example and Gould was equally not an obvious associate, even though he had worked equably with Menuhins colleague Oscar Shumsky.

Extractions: If you're looking for a video of Menuhin with any substantial amount of performance footage you'll be very disappointed in this video. Theres never more than a few seconds of Yehudi in performance. If you're looking for an in depth documentary on the life of this great violinist you'll also be sorely disappointed. There is no continuity and flow to the video. Yehudi's life story isn't really told in a cohesive and compelling way. It left me feeling as if I just saw a mish mash of music snippets with ...

Extractions: PROFILE Yehudi's Yoga One of the greatest violinists of the 20th century revered an Indian yogi as his best music teacher With Rajiv H. Mehta, Mumbai While sitting in the waiting room of an osteopath's office in 1948, Yehudi Menuhin came across a small book on yoga. He was immediately fasinated. Yoga was a subject he knew almost nothing about, yet now, for some reason, it tenaciously gripped his attention. Little did he know then that yoga and the land whence it came would change his life. Yehudi Menuhin was one of the most lauded violinists of the twentieth century. Yet he was also famous for his affiliation with renowned hatha yoga teacher B.K.S. Iyengar and legendary sitarist Ravi Shankar, with whom he frequently performed. The more Menuhin learned about India and yoga after that revelatory afternoon in the doctor's office, the more he loved it. India was, he said, "the primal source, the mother country." Born in New York on April 22, 1916, to Russian-Jewish parents who had recently immigrated to America, Menuhin's exceptional musical aptitude was recognized and cultivated almost before he could walk. By the time he was seven, his performance of Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto had gained him national fame. Before age 20, he was touring the world, gaining an international reputation as a gifted soloist. When Albert Einstein heard him play he said, "Now I know there is God in Heaven."
