5.0 out of 5 stars Another Wonderful Menuhin Document, 12 Dec 2005
By J Scott Morrison (Middlebury VT, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
It is just so wonderful to have these old films of Yehudi Menuhin playing in his prime. He was thirty-two when this present film was made in Hollywood. I completely agree with what Alejandra Vernon has said in her review. I just want to add that the Mendelssohn Concerto performance, for all its being with a pick-up orchestra and recorded, according to Menuhin, in just one afternoon, is one of the most exhilarating I've ever heard. The middle movement especially is wonderful with Menuhin's pianissimi simply ravishing. [I wouldn't swear to it, but I'm almost certain that the principal cellist in the orchestra is the young Eleanor Aller, Leonard Slatkin's mother. I couldn't see the orchestral violinists well enough to tell if his father, Felix Slatkin, was among them.]

I had reviewed the earlier DVD - 'Concert Magic' - but in it Menuhin had to share the spotlight with some second-rate artists. Not here. His accompaniments, both orchestral and with piano, are excellent. I particularly loved seeing Antal Doráti playing the accompaniment of the Brahms Fourth Hungarian Rhapsody (in Joachim's arrangement). And he played without score, I noticed.

For all you Menuhin fans out there, this one is a keeper.

Scott Morrison
