The late Sir Yehudi Menuhin will never be forgotten. His music lives and breathes naturally. This Brahms performance had uncommon musical insight. He has a indelible place in our hearts. For me, it has special meaning. I met him and we talked briefly on two separate occasions; once when I was 14 or 15 years old and 33. Warm and encouraging.
I prefer his 1962 recording of the Beethoven but that is probably because I merely prefer the Beethoven. Menuhin ranks with Casals and Rubinstein and Heifetz as the greatest of the 20th century, or for that matter, all time. I had the great pleasure of meeting him in 1959 as a student living in San Jose, Ca. One of my most treasured experiences as a music lover.
Menuhin never fail with Brahms Since his great recording with Furtwangler in 1949 till his Masur 1996 . He recorded it too with Kempf too in the sixties all of them are Philosophy
So it’s true. Fritz Kreisler is officially the king of cadenzas! From Beethoven to Brahms, give him a theme and he will write music that is perhaps even more sublime than the original!!! Oh what a sublime piece and a sublime performance. Some “violinists” here are criticizing his mushy bow control and lack of clarity on some of the speedier sections. Well, let me tell you something, as an actual violinist myself, this is a mesmerizing performance. He’s an old man for goodness sake, so what if he doesn’t play every note clearly!!! He plays a solid 90% of them clearly! He’s still Menuhin and he still has that rich, lush sound that Menuhin and all the greats always possessed. Furthermore, if you want to talk about control, look at the time he takes to add little bits of vibrato to all of the sections that involve eighth and sixteenth notes or really any section of some speed or intensity. This is a very precise and really, very intense and heartfelt performance by an incredible talented soul. That finish after the cadenza ended and the orchestra came back. So serene, so intimate… Oh, just heavenly!!! Thank you Yehudi!!!
you know what else, he's playing without a shoulder-rest that most modern players can't live without, plus he barely uses his chin-rest but yet manages to perfectly balance that Strad or Guaneri, to nail those double stops at his age is remarkable, yes I agree, an incredible talented soul and a mesmerizing performance! Lisa Batiashvili is impeccable in her magic with these classical pieces as well
@@Santhosh-jn2xw You said it better than I did😉 And speaking of Lisa, I’m seeing her for the very first time in 2024!!! My local Philharmonic Society (Orange County) has brought her and Esa Pekka Salonen to put together an all-Sibelius concert including his 1st Synphony and Finlandia as well as his Violin Concerto featuring Lisa. I’m very excited!!!
@@Tennisisreallyfun Wow, I wish Lisa would come to Dallas and perform with the DSO, she has this ability to make her instrument soar above the notes, hard to describe but as a violinist you prob know what I'm talking about, I may have to fly out to your neck of the woods just to see her, I see she's performing in March, what's a good seat for the best accoustics in that hall?
@@Santhosh-jn2xw You know, the box circle seats are fine and I have tried them before, but they’re so overpriced for what they offer. I have season tickets for the orchestra terraces. They’re on the first level, but slightly up from the stage so at face level with the artists themselves!!! Not only that, but the orchestra terraces have those “terraced” seats so nobody is going to impact your view which, as I mentioned, is at face level, but far enough away so as not to be overwhelming as it would be on the ground. I typically take rows V, W, or X, and I like the Orchestra Terrace Right. Trust me, they are premium seats, and even better sound and view than the box circle which is the next level up and the “best” seats in the house, but not in my opinion as someone who has had season tickets for nearly a decade now. You will love them👌 EDIT: If you are in Orchestra Terrace Right, try not to go too far beyond the first seats of the terrace (seats 2, 4, etc…). You don’t want to go so far where you are facing sideways to the stage.
18:48 Menuhin's wonderful cadenza....! Truly a unique player, a style that only he has and the world hasn't seen since in another player....the passion is all there in every single note.
@@pavelinslovenia Yes, it's his. Unique! Wonderful ! Edit: I've been corrected- it's not his, but Fritz Kreisler's. So technically I find Kreisler's unique and wonderful.
I don't get it, was he unable to play it correctly because of his age? Or did he intentionally play it like that? It's the first time I listen to this violin concerto and his recordings at that age
That´s actually not his Cadenza, but Fritz Kreisler´s. You can find it played by other violinists in many other rercordings like the ones of C. Ferras, Berl Senofsky and Kreisler´s own recording.
@@davidbento7441 I didn't know that, thanks for the info! I looked through sheet music online, probably about only 2 or 3 cadenzas, but couldn't seem to match up any of them to what I heard here. So I thought it was original.
Wonderful indeed, a great warmth from the beginning. Difficult, tantamount to impossible to crown THE Master in the realm of the super dooper mega violinists.
His performance in Sydney was canceled and I was so disappointed I didn't bother with a refund, and he died shortly after that so that's one name on my bucket list that will never be crossed off.
HalleluYAH that He enables us to enjoy such beautiful music. My dear mother, of precious memory, saturated my being with it from the time I was in her womb growing, playing the old 78's, the FM radio and going to the Grant Park band shell, so that I was already in love with classical music before I was born. I praise Yahuah (KJV: "the LORD") for providing such artists as Yehudi Menuhin to calm our beings in this chaotic, dissonant world, in the Name of our Master Yahusha ("Lord Jesus"), amein & amein!
I met Yehudi Menuhin at Walter Hall in 1989 at a Masterclass. He is a wonderful performer. I wonder how many people there are who play violin at the same level of experience as Mr Menuhin but for political reasons are never invited to audition at any post secondary school or enter a concert hall. Many people can only learn music at people's homes. Thanks for the video!
Beautiful gentle and lyrical. Shows that Menuhin , who could be very tecnically deficient, could produce wonderful interpretations if he was feeling inspired.
9 times out of 10 I'd rather listen to Menuhin being technically deficient, but musically sublime, than a lot of modern players who hit all the right notes, yet have nothing to say, musically speaking.
Having got both Recordings of this Great work the 1949 with Willhelm Furtwangler and the 1957(P1958)with Rudolph Kempe and the Berlin Philharmonic ASD-264 First Pressing
According my point of view,Menuhin is one of most highest violinists of XX century,like jascha Heifetz,fritz krysler,ivan galamian,David Oistrakh,Aaron Rosand ,Ruggiero Ricci etc,etc,He was a master of violin my friend.
My Hungarian music teacher would say that this video might be too expensive! Yehudhi Menuhin does not use a music stand or music or chair as all these items are too expensive!
I think it is appalling that youtube neither writes the name of the conductor nor the orchestra, nor where it is. Most people want to know these things. Climb out of the depths to which you have sunk. Other than that, beautiful brilliant playing.
@@peeyansh i thought it might be Berliner Philharmoniker. I recorded this on VHS in the 90s, so I might be wrong. I believe it is only for TV and was never released as tape recording
1742 Guarneri 'del Gesu' actually. Menuhin's favoured instrument for the latter part of his career. Remarkable power and colours Menuhin is drawing from it in this heroic performance.
Всегда казалось, что Брамс скорее взрывной, невероятно эмоциальный и страстный автор, нежели это получилось у Менухина...сколько его слушаю, не покидает ощущение, что он занял место более достойного и его раскручивала мировая мафия и его исполнение было среднего уровня...здесь у него больше моцартовской лирики, рассудочности и некоторой схематичности даже в штрихах - видать, берёг себя в таком почтенном возрасте. Ойстрах и Коган были куда убедительнее и ярче - оттого и сгорели раньше срока...после них слушать Менухина нет смысла.
It's a disgrace that Yehudi Menuhin didn't write any decent music. If only he'd spent less time chewing tofu and more in being creative. There are thousands of violinists.
He is old, he is playing like he is half there. Lots of out of tune notes, wandering tempo and technic is bare knuckles. Menuhin will always be remembered most as that kid that played his first time in Carnegie Hall playing the Beethoven Concerto like an old pro.
@@lxtrem1284 nothings wrong with them, theyre just concerned about how there are no women in this orchestra, despite the fact that women can possess talent
@@kevinvanhove5834 yea i agree, I mean he didn't have to play. I'm sure he knows he wasn't the same player he used to be. Perlman is still playing in his old age, whatever sells tickets. Most audience members aren't listening that hard anyway lol
@@asmith8815 eh, argument doesn't hold water, we don't allow certain elders to drive? Menuhin isn't a danger to anything here except people's wallets. Personally the couple minutes I listened sounded fine to me. You could do much worse

Yehudi Menuhin est notre belle référence dans l’interprétation du violon au 20ème siècle. Il rayonne au 21ème siècle… Et il va rayonner longtemps !
Für mich der größte 🎻 aller Zeiten. Seine Autobiographie ist phantastisch!
Usually violinists get worse with age. Menuhin reached his peak and stayed there until his death
Sublime!!!
Blessed 🌹🌸🌻
