Yehudi Menuhin is regarded as the<\/em> wunderkind violinist of the last century. He was celebrated and revered as much as Mozart in his day, whose Violin Concerto No. 5 Menuhin interprets for this concert recording.<\/p>\n After many years of performing and travelling, the outbreak of the Second World War marked a turning point for Menuhin, whose audience now became allied troops and those wounded in the fighting. At a performance in the liberated Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, the sheltered former boy prodigy was confronted with unimaginable horrors. But Yehudi Menuhin did not despair and instead chose to dedicate his life and music to reconciliation and peace. Just two years after the end of the war, he was the first Jewish musician to return to Germany and perform with the Berlin Philharmonic. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”row” _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.2″ global_colors_info=”{}” background_pattern_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.2)” background_mask_color=”#ffffff”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”row” _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.2″ global_colors_info=”{}” background_pattern_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.2)” background_mask_color=”#ffffff”]<\/p>\n Although just a few years older than Menuhin, Herbert von Karajan took an altogether different path, pursuing a life that was characterised by the search for perfection and musical greatness. Karajan\u2019s career began in earnest during Germany\u2019s Nazi era. Later, he would become one of the most influential and important conductors of the post-war period.<\/p>\n This recording from 1966, masterfully directed by award-winning feature film director Henri-Georges Clouzot, shows how their contrasting biographies serve only to accentuate this spellbinding musical moment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ custom_padding__hover=”|||” custom_padding=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.2″ background_pattern_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.2)” background_mask_color=”#ffffff”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ custom_padding__hover=”|||” custom_padding=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.2″ background_pattern_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.2)” background_mask_color=”#ffffff”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ custom_padding__hover=”|||” custom_padding=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.2″ background_pattern_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.2)” background_mask_color=”#ffffff”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”row” _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.2″ background_pattern_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.2)” background_mask_color=”#ffffff”]<\/p>\n International stars from the music scene, including Anne-Sophie<\/strong> Mutter<\/strong>, Daniel<\/strong> Hope<\/strong> and Hilary<\/strong> Hahn<\/strong> as well as major figures from the cinematographic world such as Sunnyi<\/strong> Melles<\/strong>, August<\/strong> Zirner<\/strong> and Bruno<\/strong> Monsaigeon<\/strong> tell of their captivation with this unique recording of the sole collaboration between the two music legends.
