Welcome to the official Omnibus channel on TH-cam - Featuring the landmark series broadcast live across the US from 1952 to 1961, the most distinguished series of Television’s Golden Age. Here we’ll look back at the award-winning collection of social, political, and cultural highlights from the mid-20th century, the most remarkable assembly of talent ever presented on American screens.
Omnibus showcased both established stars and rising talent, many of whom made their television debuts on the show, starring in classic drama, modern comedy, musical theater, ballet, jazz, popular music, folk music, and dance. Omnibus ranged even further with presentations on art and architecture, avant-garde literature, American and world history, criminal and constitutional law, international relations, sports, and science. Viewers tuned in for entertainment, but also for instruction and insight.
The series aired successively over the CBS, ABC, and NBC networks, consistently attracted 16 million viewers to each episode, and won more than 65 awards, including nine Emmys and two Peabody awards.

Yehudi was such a talented violinist. He was also a nice looking man.

But why did he have technical flaws with his technique?

[@harrynking777]

He is not correct on the question of vibrato. Vibrato has been so often over-used. Menuhin gets away with it because his vibrato is very narrow. However, in Baroque music vibrato is today kept to a minimum and often not used at all.
