I also, was as a child, a big fan of yehudi menuhin. I once wrote him a letter and he wrote back with advice that i asked. Those were the days before internet, when you had to speak to the experts personaly, or find a book that they wrote! I wish i could find that precious letter. I might still have it buried somewhere! He wrote me: "Music was never intended as a source of bread and butter", and advised me to make piano my main instrument rather than violin. Yes, and my classmates once asked him to send me a signed autograph as a birthday present (from the class) which he did! I guess children can get attention from celebrities much easier than adults can!
Sir Yehudi Ben Menuhin is simply the greatest violinist in the second half of the 20th century. He lets the instrument speak rather than his body. He is great to watch and to learn from. May he rest in peace.
I remember watching this on television in 1962. It made a young boy cry. In 2021 it still makes an older man cry. There has been nobody who performed the Concerto like Menuhin. His cadenzas are second to none, and that Stradivarius was a wonderful instrument in his capable hands.
Sir Yehudi Menuhin, my respect from a fan who worshipped you since childhood. No, I am not a fan. I am a worshipper. You gave us Heaven in mortal life!

Wish we had the likes of Yehudi today-- a true gentleman, with grace, style and technical brilliance. Can't watch the antics of the Hilary Hahn's et al on stage -- all that gyrating and head bobbing drives you nuts. Yehudi's anti-zionist stance was courageous, too, and so glad he spoke out when he received his knesset award.
Yes they gave him an award and he said what even Israeli's know . His father was the anti-zionist not aware of any of these actions of the violinist . I read a bio on him as a child but never realized both his sisters were excellent pianists with careers playing and both of them knew everyone !
The greatest violin player of all time and a true gentleman. I was blessed to hear and meet him several times in the summer in Saanen in the 60ties. We both practised yoga with the same teacher.
What a wonderfully gracious man Yehuda Menuhin was. So respectful at the end of the orchestra, no airs and graces and best of all no contorted facial expressions and grimaces that make it so difficult to watch some world class players. Just lovely to listen to and watch.
Tenia 4 años de edad cuando se grabo este concierto. A la edad de 20 años desperte a la musica clasica. Modestia aparte, creo que Beethoven es el musico mas grande y virtuoso que el Eterno puso en la tierra. Amo su musica. Creo que la belleza es casi tangible cuando oigo esta composicion para violin A traves de ella se percibe un despliegue sobre humano de creatividad y enlace de armonia y belleza. Los contrastes entre notas agudas y graves al extremo, propio del gran Beethoven. Todo hombre que busque y cultive la belleza deberia oir esta portentosa composicion. Es un regalo del cielo, en la insuperable interpretacion de Yehude Menuhim, ejemplo de talento y capacidad de interpretacion en esta obra extensa y sobre exigente. Aqui se dan la mano el.genio creativo y el genio interpretativo. Recibi un regalo de lo alto. Hoy que la musica esta tan degradada, ustedes estan haciendo historia al subir estos nagnificos videos. Dios los guarde..siempre. Bendiciones mil.
Thats exactly I love so much, when the violinist shows with his facial expressions what he resents. Pele told us : the word would be much better if we enjoy more instead of comparing. How can you be so ugly about wonderful people as to talk about contorted facial expressions and grimaces. You managed to make me feel angry while listening to this wonderful interpretation ....
At 46 y.o. Menuhin must have been at the top of his art, and this recording reflects this. I don't think it is second to any other one. I am impressed by the fine posture he holds, quite different from the dancing of so many other professional violinists. I seem to detect here a time shift between the audio and the video, which can be bothersome.
I agree with you. It's not a very good orchestra. Davis makes a gesture that starts at his shoes and ends up in the sky. The orchestra doesn't respond. Davis was a good conductor, but this orchestra ignores his goodness. You're also right that there's a shift between the audio and the video. And I agree that it's bothersome. Menuhin sails through the concerto without making gymnastic gestures-- like Davis does. Menuhin is solid and sparse. He puts the energy for gestures into the music. He's great to watch. And great to listen to.
I don't know how to thanks this man. It's just so true everything... Center, so humble, love, energy... It's hard to describe how touches something one cannot describe.
Impeccable violinist who didn’t suffer from Heifetz Disease requiring young hot shots even of today to play everything at breakneck speed. Luscious, rich sound that grabs one’s soul. 🎻👏👏👏
Heifetz was a genius. With the Chaconne, I used to inflict 3 full versions on classical music aficionados who I taught, first Menuhin's version when he was about 17- - played with the determination and focus of a teenager who thought he was right about everything. This is a great version of a great piece! Then I'd play them Milstein whose version was suave, thoughtful and polished. A beautiful version. Then Heifetz. His performance was like a combination of Menuhin & Milstein's versions. Overwhelmingly beautiful. All 3 versions were about the same timing: 14 minutes. No one, especially Heifetz rushed through anything. I spared them Huberman's raw sounding version. Huberman attacked with his violin. He sounds like no one else. Here are a few timings: Perlman, 15:47; Heifetz 13:02 (1952); Menuhin 14:15 (1934); Szeryng, 13:56 (1949); Milstein 13:06 (1936),Oistrakh 14:02 (1963), Kogan; 13:49; Stern 14:43; Vengerov, 11:25 (this is in a movie. There must be some cuts); Huberman, 15:31. Huberman is unique. Definitely not a modern conception.
@@tobiolopainto Only my opinion, but Heifetz rushed almost everything. He was much better prior to WWII, fast yet employing rubato, but after he started to become a bit of a caricature of himself with the way he raced through pieces. With the Chaconne, I find Ida Haendel's version better than the three you mentioned, although Menuhin's definitely has high points. Milstein's is appalingly harsh and not Bach sounding, to my ears (in stark comparison to his fantastic Bruch with Barbirolli)
Thanks for providing us with the chance to see/hear one of the greats play one of the greats! Beethoven's Violin Concerto is my favorite piece of music for the violin, and I literally feel as though I reach a state of ecstasy when I listen to it.
I was lucky enough to attend a live performance. It was Beethoven but not the concerto: it was a performance of some of the violin sonatas with Wilhelm Kempff at the piano. I'm guessing it was back in the 1970s at the Royal Festival Hall in London. Magical.

Amikor Jehudy Menuhin Bartók Szonáta szólóhegedűre címú darabját eljátszotta zeneszerző előtt, csak annyit fúzött hozzá az alkotó:"Azt hittem, hogy ilyen jól csak a zeneszerző halála után évekkel lehet ilyen tökéletesen eljátszani."
El concierto para violín de Beethoven tiene su sello: la majestuosidad. Hay grandes interpretaciones, como Perlman con Barenboim, pero esta de Menuhin es la mejor de todas.
Agreed! Menuhin's cadenzas may be less elegant and mellifluous, but they capture the loving tension, calm and measured fury only made possible by their situation within Beethoven's singular masterpiece.
Yehudi Menuhin, grande entre los grandes. La mejor versión del concierto para violín en re, una de las más grandes creaciones del hombre sobre la tierra. ¡Ay Beethoven!, no se que haríamos sin tus creaciones....

As a Collector and Admirer of the late Yehudi Menuhin I can assure you that he Played Fritz Krisler Cadenzas in all his five Recordings that he Made between 1947 and 1981 P1982 and the best Version I found out off all five is his 1960 Recording with the Vienna Philharmonic under Constantine Silvestry Mono ALP 1799 Stereo ASD 377
@@martincook318I can tell you that he recorded it 6 times. After his death EMI published a previously unpublished recording from 1971 with Menuhin as soloist AND conductor. I have never heard it but I have the 5 others in my private recording collection.
Beethoven : maestro de la música universal, genio sin igual y un ser humano de extraordinaria sensibilidad!!! Te amaremos por siempre!! You were great!!!!!!!!!!
Esta conducción y grabación son tan puras, me parece la más exquisita de todas las interpretaciones del maestro Yehudi: pido excusas si incurro en alguna forma de agravio hacia otras direcciones o grabaciones pero es como escucha mi corazón a mi más amado genio musical.
A few of my very favourite musicians together: Menuhin and Sir Colin Davis. Menuhin was one of the first after WWII to work with Furtwaengler in Germany who at least had never toured occupied territories with the Berlin Philharmonics.
I marvel at the virtuosity of young artists but their inflated stage theatrics and semi-porn gowns expose more than flesh. It reveals a basic truth they seemed to have not learned. Nothing matters but the music. Only the music. Always the music. Yehudi hangs his soul on every note. He understood that nothing matters but the music, and he put his beautiful soul into every phrase. God bless him for being a blessing to us. 🎻
Yehudi Menuhen is unquestionably the greatest exponent of Beethoven's everlasting compositions. That doesn't mean you should worship him,it applies to Allah and Allah alone.You can at vest say,he is second to none todate!
I would love to see more opinions about what exactly people like about each performer/performance rather than a summary of one is better than the other. I hear so many differences and nuances in the playing and would like to have that discussed here by musicians to enhance my understanding of what I am hearing. I am referring to things such as expression, musicality, a particular playing technique, e.g, stacatto, lyricism, precision, fluidity, etc. and particular passages compared especially. If you could, please. Also the influence of the orchestra's playing on the soloist, e.g., some sound sluggish, some seem like trains running on time.
I love Yahudi because of the things you listed, his bravado resonates with the note he is playing giving it a virtuosic sound, and then there is his expression of thje notes in the color of the lyrical melody giving it voice and emotion. Simply superb.
Menuhin is very Musical. Phrasing is the way it should be. Tempo changes within the framework of Allegro are perfect. Never boring or only structured...fantastic Intonation and agogic.. I love his playing but have 2 criticisms after playing this with Zukerman and others a few years ago..Menuhin's vibrato is tooo fast sometimes not variable enough and because he has a Strad, he has never really gotten into the sound of the Instrument.. Sometimes as they say in German "ruber wischen"... But no one is really allowed to say this. . Because his playing is flawless and his heart and intellectual approach is model for Generations to come.
@@christopherhogan691 Thank you for sharing your response to this piece and his playing. I will listen again with more appreciation. I used Google translation on "ruber wischen" after getting no results with a search. Ruber is "red" and Wischen is "wipe from" so I suppose it means what you said in your prior sentence - that Menuhin has never been able to produce the true, authentic voice of his particular Strad violin. Interesting that you can hear that and makes me wonder if he can hear that. Not understanding why his having a Strad would contribute to that inability. Delighted with your reply to me. Best.
Наверное, одна из самых мало привлекательных трактовок в эмоциональном отношении - но эта внешняя холодность и сдержанность исполнителя была ему свойственна всегда, сколько наблюдаю за ним...но если просто слушать и не видеть солиста, то первое впечатление можно назвать легковесным и ошибочным - просто это стиль Менухина...он здесь минималист, но всё же интереснее таких механистичных товарищей, как Хейфец и Мильштейн - эти в своём стремлении к техническому совершенству просто потеряли берега - так скажу...
I have got all six Recordings of the Beethoven Violin Concerto what Yehudi Menuhin Made of the Score Between 1947 and 1981(P1982)the first three he made with Willhelm Furtwangler Between 1947 and Tuesday and Wednesday April 7th and 8th 1953 the last one Record Number ALP-1100 and the the following one was Recorded on the 5th 6th and the 7th off February 1960[>1 Mono Red and Gold ALP-1799]>[2 Stereo ASD-377] White and Gold]Which I've go Several copies of and Played by Yehudi Menuhin with the Vienna hilha Conducted Conducted by Constantine Silvestry and that is My first choice
Were it possible to suggest that here is the best ever performance of the best ever single piece of music composed I would make such a suggestion in the case of this performance of this piece.
They are Fritz Kreisler's cadenzas. You can hear Kreisler play them, his own, on 2 performances, one from 1926 with Leo Blech conducting, and another in 1936 with Barbirolli. I prefer the 1926 performance which is beautiful.
I also, was as a child, a big fan of yehudi menuhin. I once wrote him a letter and he wrote back with advice that i asked. Those were the days before internet, when you had to speak to the experts personaly, or find a book that they wrote!
I wish i could find that precious letter. I might still have it buried somewhere!
He wrote me:
"Music was never intended as a source of bread and butter", and advised me to make piano my main instrument rather than violin.
Yes, and my classmates once asked him to send me a signed autograph as a birthday present (from the class) which he did!
I guess children can get attention from celebrities much easier than adults can!
He signed his book for me... and several programs after concerts
I hope you find it!

Interesting that you can hear that and makes me wonder if he can hear that. Not understanding why his having a Strad would contribute to that inability. Delighted with your reply to me. Best.
Наверное, одна из самых мало привлекательных трактовок в эмоциональном отношении - но эта внешняя холодность и сдержанность исполнителя была ему свойственна всегда, сколько наблюдаю за ним...но если просто слушать и не видеть солиста, то первое впечатление можно назвать легковесным и ошибочным - просто это стиль Менухина...он здесь минималист, но всё же интереснее таких механистичных товарищей, как Хейфец и Мильштейн - эти в своём стремлении к техническому совершенству просто потеряли берега - так скажу...
Он просто "не торгует" лицом! Вся глубина в звуке.💜
I have got all six Recordings of the Beethoven Violin Concerto what Yehudi Menuhin Made of the Score Between 1947 and 1981(P1982)the first three he made with Willhelm Furtwangler Between 1947 and Tuesday and Wednesday April 7th and 8th 1953 the last one Record Number ALP-1100 and the the following one was Recorded on the 5th 6th and the 7th off February 1960[>1 Mono Red and Gold ALP-1799]>[2 Stereo ASD-377] White and Gold]Which I've go Several copies of and Played by Yehudi Menuhin with the Vienna hilha Conducted Conducted by Constantine Silvestry and that is My first choice
Very fine!
Were it possible to suggest that here is the best ever performance of the best ever single piece of music composed I would make such a suggestion in the case of this performance of this piece.
Would Ludvig van Beethoven heard Menuhin interprete his work - what e treat..
BRAVO
Спасибо, великолепно,
Criticisms be damned! Not hysterical, just silver playing with fine accompaniment. Menuhin at his best! What a cadenza!
They are Fritz Kreisler's cadenzas. You can hear Kreisler play them, his own, on 2 performances, one from 1926 with Leo Blech conducting, and another in 1936 with Barbirolli. I prefer the 1926 performance which is beautiful.
