Every time I stumble on a Menuhin recording I am struck by the tone of the violin and immediately return to Perlman versions...

Menuhin in a state of grace...what an incredible performance! Out of this world...thank you so so much, Erick....I'm so glad you're back with your incredible video archive....🙏

Great find! Thank you!!!

Certainly one of the best Menuhin performances from the 1950's (or so I'm guessing), a time when his playing could be very uneven. He seems uncommonly relaxed for most of it (until near the end) and parts of the first movement development section seem almost improvised. Quite a bit better than his recording with Kempe made about the ssme time. The latter could have benefitted from any number of "inssrts".

which year is this from?

Istvan Kertesz ?
