Legendary Violinists. Yehudi Menuhin Menuhin, Yehudi, Lord Menuhin of Stoke d'Abernon, celebrated American-born English violinist, conductor, and humanitarian, brother of Hephzibah Menuhin; b. On Nov. 25, 1927, Menuhin was soloist in the Beethoven Violin Concerto with Fritz Busch and the N.Y. Symphony Orchestra, garnering extraordinary acclaim from the public and critics alike. Menuhin came to Furtwängler's defense and, after the conductor was exonerated, the two performed and recorded together in spite of the furor his defense had engendered. www.thirteen.org /publicarts/violin/menuhin.html   (760 words)

Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Yehudi Menuhin Yehudi Menuhin, Baron Menuhin, OM, KBE (April 22, 1916 – March 12, 1999) was an American-born violinist, violist, and conductor who spent most of his performing career in the United Kingdom. In 1952, Menuhin met and befriended the influential yogi B.K.S. Iyengar. Menuhin credited the German-Jewish philosopher Constantin Brunner with providing him with "a theoretical framework within which I could fit the events and experiences of life" (Conversations with Menuhin: 32-34). www.reference.com /browse/wiki/Yehudi_Menuhin   (549 words)

Life Matters - 30/10/1998: Hepzibah Menuhin Hephzibah, produced and directed by Curtis Levy, was voted the most popular Australian documentary at both this year's Sydney and Melbourne Film Festivals. In 1938 Hephzibah and Yehudi married Australian brother and sister, Lindsay and Nola Nicholas, heirs to the Aspro empire. Hephzibah was only 18 when she moved from California to live on a remote sheep station in the Western District of Victoria. www.abc.net.au /rn/talks/lm/stories/s13957.htm   (290 words)

Encyclopedia One of the foremost virtuosos of his generation, Menuhin also earned a formidable reputation as a conductor, music educator, and crusader for humanitarian causes. Menuhin also collaborated with nonclassical musicians, including the French jazz violinist Stéphane Grappelli (1908–97) and the Indian sitarist Ravi Shankar, who wrote Prabhati (Of the Morning, 1966) for him. Menuhin toured widely, often with his sister, the pianist Hephzibah Menuhin (1920–81). www.historychannel.com /encyclopedia/article.jsp?link=FWNE.fw..me087900.a   (674 words)

MUSIC: MENUHIN TRIBUTE TO SISTER - New York Times Menuhin was Ernest Bloch, who 57 years ago presented the 8-year-old prodigy with ''Abodah,'' which was paired on this occasion with Bloch's ''Baal Shem: Three Pictures of Chassidic Life.'' Next came Georges Enesco, Mr. Menuhin's teacher from the age of 9, who was represented by his Sonata No. 3. Menuhin, and he played with a vigorous attack and intensity of feeling unusual even for him. query.nytimes.com /gst/fullpage.html?res=9F02EFD81739F937A15751C0A967948260   (215 words)

Gramophone - Features - The world's best classical music magazine The boy Menuhin was smothered by overprotective parents, forbidden to play ball in case he hurt his fingers, not even allowed to cross the road on his own until he was 18. The mature Menuhin had been through the fire — and the war, in which he did much to sustain morale both in his native America and in Britain. The same is true of his sister, Hephzibah, a rather prim piano partner for Yehudi in the 1930s, but a considerable artist after the war. www.gramophone.co.uk /reputations_detail.asp?f=473&id=474   (152 words)

Hephzibah - Film Reviews - Film - Entertainment - smh.com.au At the same time Hephzibah decided she had fallen for Lindsay, and proposed to him, sweeping away his qualms with the force of her charm. Hephzibah is not the kind of film you might expect from Curtis Levy. Hephzibah Menuhin died in 1981 and Levy is more used to making films about people still in the thick of events, including The President Versus David Hicks. www.smh.com.au /news/film-reviews/music-binds-story-of-a-remarkable-life/2006/08/02/1154198204066.html   (659 words)

Hephzibah Tintner - City of Sydney Hephzibah Tintner was born in Perth in 1970 to a musical family.

Yehudi and Hephzibah Menuhin Play Violin Sonatas [JW]: Classical CD Reviews- Nov 2003 MusicWeb(UK)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30) Yehudi’s celebrity tended to overshadow that of his sister Hephzibah but as these recordings show she was a formidable musician, quite capable of meeting her brother on equal terms in this repertoire. The young Menuhin sounds happier in the variations second movement, if sometimes just a bit too fluent, but in the finale things are again a bit bogged down with moments of lyricism contrasted rather too knowingly. Of the two sonatas the D minor is the better played; Hephzibah snatches at a few phrases in the opening movement but there is plenty of lyric nobility in the slow movement even if they cannot match the unerring rightness that Szigeti and Petri generated in their almost contemporaneous recording for English Columbia. www.musicweb-international.com /classrev/2003/Nov03/yehudi_and_hephzibah_menuhin.htm   (629 words)

Yehudi Menuhin Memorial The most unnerving of our meetings was at a dinner at a hotel in Pasadena whose name I forget where he warned me the world was going to become an uglier place and being a social activist was going to become an increasingly risky proposition. Although Yehudi, my aunt Hephzibah and mom Yaltah came out of the west in the early part of this century, it probably was fitting that Yehudi was memorialized in this, the last year of the century and millennium, at Westminster Abbey. Yehudi Menuhin died Friday March 12, 1999 in Berlin while on tour with the Warsaw Symphony Orchestra. www.ffaire.com /viewersbylines/menuhinmemorial.html   (1390 words)

BJFF: Hephzibah   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30) The life of Hephzibah Menuhin is the stuff of novels. In 1938, at age 18, she married Lindsay Nicholas, a wealthy man, and went to live on his remote sheep farm in Australia where she worked on behalf of children's education and the early feminist movement. Shattered by a post-World War II tour of Theresienstadt and increasingly alienated from her privileged life in Australia, Hephzibah left her husband and sons for Viennese sociologist Richard Hauser. www.bjff.org /films/?id=2109   (142 words)

Bohemian 65, The Uncommon Friendship of Yaltah Menuhin & Willa Cather Yaltah was the youngest sister of violinist Yehudi Menuhin and pianist Hephzibah Menuhin. It was the opinion of important musical observers, right from the beginning, that she may have been the most musically talented of the three Menuhin children. She provided the counterbalance to Yaltah’s mother, Marutha, who only allowed Yaltah and her sister, Hephzibah, to study the piano because it was a good tool for attracting a husband. www.dabelly.com /columns/bohemian65.htm   (871 words)

Mozart, Beethoven violin sonatas Menuhin NAXOS 8.110988 [JW]: Classical CD Reviews- October 2004 MusicWeb(UK)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30) One of the advantageous things about the disc is the Mozart F major sonata, which constitutes Menuhin’s sole recording of it, an Abbey Road set of two 78s made in March 1938. There are plenty of slides here as well and some burnished tone leaps across the years, though there are obviously some moments of gauche phrasing (a bit undifferentiated and over emotive in the theme and variations second movement for instance). Many years later in 1947 the Menuhins turned to the G major and left a performance of great sensitivity. www.musicweb-international.com /classrev/2004/Oct04/Mozart_Beethoven_Menuhin.htm   (422 words)

MDT - 8110775, Naxos Historical CD “Throughout his long and illustrious career, Yehudi Menuhin was rarely blessed with an accompanist as sensitive and sympatico as his sister, Hephzibah, who really deserves equal billing in this latest issue in Naxos Historical’s valuable series of momentous reissues. The German Romantic repertoire suited both Yehudi and Hephzibah very well: Yehudi’s plangent violin tone and innate sense of lyricism is given full rein throughout, while the demanding piano parts suit Hephzibah’s strong technique and innate musicality. The siblings brought an intrinsic mutual understanding to their music making, and it was this rapport which made their recordings together so outstanding and memorable. www.mdt.co.uk /MDTSite/product/CD/8110775.htm   (225 words)
