Extractions: Yehudi Menuhin, 1916-1999 Violin virtuoso, promoter of peace and educator Yehudi Menuhin, whose career spanned three quarters of a century, died March 12, 1999 in Berlin, DDR. Menuhin, whose many awards included the Jawaharlal Nehru Award for International Understanding, and used his music to spread his message of peace, understanding and tolerance, was 82 years old. Yehudi Menuhin was born in New York, NY on April 22nd, 1916 to Russian Jewish parents who came to America via Palestine. Menuhin was born an American citizen but later enjoyed dual citizenship as a subject of the British Empire. Menuhin received his first violin at the age of 5, and it quickly became evident that he was a rare musical prodigy, a virtuoso violinist Itzhak Perlman noted may have been "the most phenomenal child prodigy that ever existed, certainly in this century" Menuhin made his professional debut at the age of 7 in San Francisco, CA, and at 9 played at the Sistine Chapel in Rome. As an adult Menuhin recalled that he believed that if he played Bach 's 'Chaconne' well enough at the Chapel, that God would hear him and it would bring peace to the world. Menuhin's childhood dream of peace stayed with him throughout his life. As a

Extractions: The shocking news of Lord Yehudi Menuhin's March 12, 1999 death in Berlin did not bring to my mind any sad recollections, however. Rather, I immediately remembered referring to Menuhin's first experience as a child with Beethoven's Violin Concerto, and from this flowed my recollection of his description of his 60-year-adventure with this work in his book Unfinished Journey , while the city in which his active life came to an abrupt end reminded me of his ceaseless efforts at reconciliation between cultures and nations. Does not such a truly universal artistic mind lend itself excellently to providing us with insights on his involvement with Beethoven? Let us therefore celebrate Menuhin's life as a journey, the "finishing" of which is not rendered as a statement but rather only in form of a question mark which allows us to once more and for may times over embark with him on his 60-year-adventure with Beethoven's Violin Concerto, Op. 61
Extractions: The name of Helen Airoff is known by just a few, mostly colleagues and pupils, and a sporadic collector of rare violin recordings. But even then, why is there so little known about violinist Helen Airoff, except for the fact that she travelled to America on the same boat -Ile de France- as Dame Myra Hess did, in 1946? Maybe because some colleagues, friends and pupils did take her advice just for granted, thought that her stimulating instruction, and her drive to organize whatever was beneficial, as a normalcy, more or less. She was a caring person. It is known that she cared for ill violoncellist Maurice Gendron at the end of his life. Scarse are the data and there are no recollections of live performances. The liner notes on Remington 199-95 tell that Helen Airoff at the age of nine made her debut as a child prodigy in San Francisco. She studied violin in Europe under Adolph Busch and George Enesco . She has made many successful appearances as solo violinist, and during World War II she volunteered her services for G.I. concerts in Africa, Europe and the Middle East.

This year's Menuhin Festival will open in Saanen-Gstaad, a resort town of Switzerland, on July 16 for a three-month long program. In 1956, the Menuhin Festival was launched in Saanen-Gstaad, which the late legendary violinist and conductor Yehudi Menuhin (1916-1999) regarded as his second hometown. Since then, it has become the highest-profile Swiss classical music festival that is held annually. While he was alive, Menuhin highly praised Chang, saying, "Sarah is the most surprising, most perfect, and most ideal violinist I have ever met." The organizing committee of the Menuhin Festival expects that, in addition to Chang, the London Symphony Orchestra and pianist Andras Schiff will lend further momentum to this year's festival.

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.
