Performer Biography

Yehudi Menuhin remained loyal to a single record company throughout his career: His Master's Voice, which later became EMI and is now part of Warner Classics.

Recording & Production

The collection also features totally unissued recordings, including Schubert's Octet and String Quintet, and the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto.

Interpretation

Menuhin's sound, a primary component of his 'magic,' is instantly identifiable, penetrating, and heart-rending, expressing the violinist's voice.

Recording & Production

This anthology includes many recordings previously issued on vinyl but never digitally, such as the complete Brahms violin and viola sonatas with pianist Louis Kentner.

Composer's Artistic Vision

Yehudi Menuhin was not content with the existing violin repertoire; he commissioned, performed, and promoted a vast number of works by living composers.
