"When he was 3, Yehudi Menuhin was smuggled into the San Francisco Orchestra concerts by his parents. The sound of Louis Persinger's violin so entranced the youngster that he insisted on a violin for his birthday and Louis Persinger as his teacher. He got both. By the time he was 10 years old, Menuhin was an international performer"- coursesmart
Yehudi Menuhin spells artistry, humanity, unbelievable depth of feeling, richly meaningful interpretation, and an uncanny ability to enter the very centre of the spirit of any music, any composer, work or expressive mode. His ravishing and astonishingly diverse soundscape, the impassioned lyric-dramatic vibrato, the controlled trills and subtle shifts of pace, tone, pressure, force and dynamics, the immersed communication to listener, straight from heart to heart - this was a universal violinist, an eternal quality resides in his playing which corresponds to the epochal shifts in his playing manner and mode through the great tides and tectonic shifts of the last century. The debates about who was more 'brilliant' or 'greater'- the young Menuhin, or the sometimes struggling but even more profound and insightful later avatars of the prodigy are facile - best to just close your eyes - or watch him as he closes his and loses himself in the trance of his own music making...
Having been a Collector of his Records for 40 Year's both on 78rpm and LP Vinyl for forty Years and a admirer and having got all three Versions of the D Major Violin Concerto in my Record Collection I think arguably the best version he made of this work his is old 1934 Recording which he Recorded with Pierre Montuex and the Paris Symphony Orchestra where he was 18 and listened to that Pre war Pressing set Recorded by His Master's Voice on Saturday May 19th 1934 on a five Record set and first Reissued in a deleted LP Box set for his 60th Birthday and 21 year's later he Recorded the work again Coupled with the Sibelius Violin Concerto again Mono ALP 1350 and 5 year years later he made his third and last Recording of the Score Coupled with the Violin Concerto 2 ASD 440 and all for His Master's Voice
Beautiful, not only technically but with soul. Incidentally, this is the second movement "Adagio". I first heard him play this in 1949. He must have been 33 years old. I wonder when this piece was recorded.
beautiful frased; never knew Paganini could sound so tragic! In spite of Menuhin's problems. later in life with technical aspects, this performance is excellent; I love his modest glissandos and portamentos.
What I like about the guy is how humble he was. Isn't it funny how we watch more than we listen. The players in his era all had there own sound or style. They all sounded different.
Unbelievable! This is one of the best videos i've ever seen in my whole life(i've seen quite a lot) Thank you so much for ofering us the possibility of learning with pleasure.Salut,Johnny.best regards from Portugal,J.G.
What a truly beautiful and lovely man Yehudi Menuhin is...in his demeanor and character...his music expressed this in a more deeply felt level than mere words can express. GOD be praised for such a gift!
Always a pleasure to listen to Yehudi Menuhin. Rarely a pleasure to read comments - can we choose to cancel the display of comments when we visit videos - in our settings? Fed up with obscenities and people more interested in their opinions than the music.
No es el tercer movimiento., Es el segundo movimiento del concierto N.1..basado en la súplica de un preso a la Divina providencia!Un libreto de un literato amigo de N.Paganini de la epoca..Esta interpretación de este movimiento., es un verdadero destello de la época del romanticismo/sin duda dentro de la literatura violinistica a través del tiempo...una de las más brillantes interpretaciones!.
all i can say for this is that its an incredible sound!..this man has only come to my knowledge just recently and already is one of my favourites. I agree with jazzmunky..every type of music should be appriciated. This kind of music speaks to you its sound manages to pierce its self to your soul. by far this music can do great things for one person if they just take the time to really listen to it and let it do its natural wonder.
I have read that at least in one instance, Paganini intentionally broke his D, A, and E strings and proceeded to play the rest of the evening on only the remaining G string. Quite spectacular.
@RosyAfterglow wonderful man, my dad actually took some master's lessons or something of the sort from menuhin in switzerland back in the 60. he was a true maestro and kind human being. peace
This is brilliant!!! It is about the time his bow arm started to deteriorate,and you can sense that at times,but his lines are just unbelievable nontheless! Oh,and by the way,this is the second not third movement! :)
@classicalneoc You are quite right to indicate the precision in terminology. It is through language that we describe reality. A song is 'sung' by the human voice, with lyrics. This is a musical composition of musical expression-a 'Tone Poem' The music itself evokes images and feelings. It is rather like saying fish & chips is the same as Chocolate mousse-all are 'Food' but are quite different.

Man ..... you should be a writer, if you already aren't.
@@eternalfearless4532 Thank you, I do write a little sometimes ❤️🙏

YEUDI MENHUIN ha saputo far cantare in modo ineguagliabile il suo meraviglioso strumento. Delizia per l'udito!!!
Beautiful, not only technically but with soul. Incidentally, this is the second movement "Adagio". I first heard him play this in 1949. He must have been 33 years old. I wonder when this piece was recorded.
in the mid sixties, as this is the bell telephone orchestra with donald voorhees
The better violinist of all century XX, only you master Menuhin... Thanks for all your extraordinary art.
I've listened to Mr.Menuhin since we were both children. A geniius
beautiful frased; never knew Paganini could sound so tragic! In spite of Menuhin's problems. later in life with technical aspects, this performance is excellent; I love his modest glissandos and portamentos.
I searched for this in 2021, I last heard it when I was a little child, it put me to sleep.
Salute to Lord Menuhin!!! Great musician! GREAT ARTIST!
He makes me feel the deepest emotion
What I like about the guy is how humble he was. Isn't it funny how we watch more than we listen. The players in his era all had there own sound or style. They all sounded different.
Yehudi Menuhin was divine soul. His music transcends all levels of our senses when we listen to him
It's so beautiful! I'll definitely be listening to this again and again.
wonderful!!!! THANKS FOR POSTING IT!! WE MISS U YEHUDI!! SO MUCH!!!
i teared up during in the middle part, this is absolutely beautiful!
Among the top violinists, he was the most elegant.
What exquisite playing! And the sound quality is surprisingly good considering how old this video must be.
simply beautiful...
Unbelievable!
This is one of the best videos i've ever seen in my whole life(i've seen quite a lot)

An incredible musician, and a pleasure to listen to! Mr Menuhin gift is a gift to us all.

always brilliant
I love it its so good
What sensitivity, his vibrato corresponds to the palette of his multi-chromatic sentimental world - and the noblest sentiments only reside there...
Truly
What a great masterpiece!!!
The master at his best bravo Menuhin! One of my favourite.
In 1967 I saw yehudi menuhin perform the Bach Chaconne in the cloisters in NYC and it changed my life.
To which direction?😂
I am a musician now.
Wonderful !
Wonderful!! The man with music in his veins.
Excelentná hra prekrásnej skladby.Super!Anika.
Lovely musical performance !
I'm from India, got inspired after saw his life history

Noble beauty !
I love his son Gerard Menuhin.
He wrote a great book: "Tell The Truth And Shame The Devil"
SPOILER ALERT: He's a holocaust-denying nazi and a shame to his father! Shame on you as well, commenter.
Beautiful, pure wrist vibrato
Nagyon szép, köszönet érte! :-)
magnífico
This is brilliant!!! It is about the time his bow arm started to deteriorate,and you can sense that at times,but his lines are just unbelievable nontheless!
Oh,and by the way,this is the second not third movement! :)
I'd give my left arm to have such an expressive vibrato.
ian dick then you would have a pretty incredible right arm
This actually made me lol and I think I woke up a few people haha
You would really have to give your time and effort
How would u have a vibrato then ?😂
