Bach: Violin Concertos / Solo Partita in D minor
Yehudi Menuhin (violin) / Orchestre Symphonique de Paris, George Enescu
[ Warner Classics Original Jacket Reissues / CD ]
Release Date: Friday 21 August 2015
Bach's music was central to the life and career of Yehudi Menuhin, and the violinist is captured in his full early bloom in these performances from the 1930s. Joining the teenage Menuhin in the first and most celebrated of his four recordings of the Concerto for Two Violins is his teacher and mentor, George Enescu.
"Menuhin's recording of the double concerto, with Georges Enescu his partner (and teacher) and Monteux conducting, is legendary for its rapport and simple expressive beauty. It was recorded in Paris in 1932. The two solo concertos - with Enescu on the rostrum - followed in 1933 and 1936. They were hardly less remarkable, with a wonderful purity of line and natural expressive feeling. All these records were made when Menuhin was between sixteen and nineteen years of age and show his unique instinctive musical vision, which came from within rather than from outside influences. A BAch recording that should be in every collection." Rosette - Penguin Guide
