About the item

As a musician, as a man of ideals, and as a true world citizen, Yehudi Menuhin made an extraordinary mark on his era. The Menuhin Century commemorates the 100th anniversary of his birth on 22 April 1916.These s depict Menuhin as a maker of musical history and place him in the context of momentous historical events. The Historic s includes Menuhin's collaborations with such figures as Sir Edward Elgar, Wilhelm Furtwängler, Sir John Barbirolli, Charles Munch and David Oistrakh, and features s made in Moscow in 1945 and in Budapest during the Hungarian Uprising of 1956. CD1: The collection opens with the landmark 1932 of the Elgar Violin Concerto that the 16-year-old violinist made at the new Abbey Road studios, with the composer himself conducting. This is complemented by a previously unpublished of 'La Capricieuse'. CDs 2-3: Menuhin lays his cl to immortality with his pioneering of the complete Bach Sonatas and Partitas (1934-1936). CDs 4-6: The young violinist’s encounter with his mentor George Enescu, one of the major musical figures of the time. These 3 CDs consist of their complete s together. CD7: War and peace. Menuhin snatched the recently rediscovered Schumann concerto – which he described as the “missing link of the violin literature” – from under the Nazis’ noses. Then, in October 1944, just two months after the Liberation of Paris, he re-opened the Paris Opéra with Charles Munch, playing the Marseillaise and an extract from the Mendelssohn concerto, a work that had been forbidden during the Occupation. The entire radio broadcast of this emotion-laden concert is to be heard on this disc. CD8: Menuhin in Moscow. Following an historic performance of Bach’s Double Concerto with another violin genius and close friend, David Oistrakh, comes an extraordinary recital in where he plays Ni from Bloch’s Baal Shem – the piece was censored by Soviet radio. CDs 9-11: Menuhin and Furtwängler. “Unless you have secret incriminating evidence against Furtwängler supporting your accusation that he was a tool of Nazi Party, I beg to take violent issue with your decision to ban him,” wrote Menuhin to General McClure. There is an unparalleled intensity to the musical encounter of violinist and conductor in the Beethoven concerto from Lucerne, making it one of the most memorable s in history. These 3 CDs consist of their complete official s together. CD12-16: Menuhin as a figure of musical inspiration. Works written for him by Bartók, Bloch (“He was my first composer, I his last performer.”), Frank Martin, William Walton, Paul Ben-H and many others. Also contains a of the Roy Harris sonata discovered in Yehudi Menuhin's personal archive. CD17: 'West meets East,' the pioneering 1967 collaboration between Menuhin and sitar-player Ravi Shankar, transcending musical and cultural divides. CD18: The musician sans frontières: Menuhin’s s with jazz violinist Stéphane Grappelli
