Extractions: PARIS, 7 May 1999 - Extravagant tribute has been paid "to the musician and especially the man" (heard on a radio program) who was Yehudi Menuhin. Some even confused the man with the enterprises that profit from the Menuhin "logo" and prosper in its wake. They almost forgot to speak about Menuhin the violinist, the phenomenon who simultaneously astounded America between the wars, commissioned and created one of the masterpieces of the 20th century - Bartok's Sonata for solo violin - and conversed on an equal footing in the greatest concertos of the German repertoire with one of the masters of the tradition - Wilhelm Furtwängler. His second great teacher, who made him feel like "a midget", was Enesco. Enesco was not American but a wanderer. In Vienna and then in Paris where he was the pupil of the Belgian Martin Marsick, Enesco was Romanian. But in his own country, he was not Romanian but Moldavian. Persinger and Enesco taught Menuhin in the style of the Franco-Belgian school, but as reinvented by exiles. In fact, Menuhin's playing was self-taught, a new style of playing, just as America is the new world.

Extractions: LONDON (AP) Violinist Yehudi Menuhin has died after a 75-year career devoted to helping young musicians and promoting his belief that music is an international language. His colleagues and world leaders remembered him as one of the century's master musicians. "His style of playing, particularly in his early years, was a stunning patrician elegance with a very natural musical line which fitted the style of whatever composition," violinist Isaac Stern said Friday. Menuhin died Friday in a hospital in Berlin, where he was to have conducted the Warsaw Symphony Orchestra before he was taken ill. He was 82. He had pneumonia and died of heart failure, his London office said.

Extractions: LONDON (AP) Violinist Yehudi Menuhin, whose astonishing youthful virtuosity grew into one of the great musical talents of the 20th century, died Friday. He was 82 and had been sharing his love of music with audiences around the world for 75 years. Menuhin was to have conducted the Warsaw Symphony Orchestra in Berlin on Tuesday night, but the concert was canceled when he took ill, concert promoter Jutta Adler said. His London office said he had pneumonia and died of heart failure in Berlin's Martin Luther Hospital. "He was a giant in this century, as a violinist, musician, personality within the musical world ... and of course the most phenomenal child prodigy that ever existed, certainly in this century," said violinist Itzhak Perlman. "Listening to his recordings, it is indescribable what he was able to communicate through his fiddle," Perlman added.

Extractions: Violinist, born April 22, 1916, New York, New York; died March 12, 1999 Y ehudi Menuhin's first solo red-letter day was November 25, 1927, when, at the age of 11, he electrified Carnegie Hall with his interpretation of the Beethoven Violin Concerto. That historic appearance with the New York Symphony, under Fritz Busch, launched an already promising career that continued to make history for six decades. R eviewing Menuhin's Carnegie Hall debut, the New York Times stated: "It seems ridiculous to say that he showed a mature conception of Beethoven's Concerto, but that is the fact. When the bow touched the strings, it was evident that an exceptional musical intelligence and sensibility were behind the performance." When young Menuhin followed that dazzling success with a solo recital at Carnegie Hall a few weeks later, a police detail was called out to keep the overflowing crowd under control. T he distinguished violinist and conductor had given his first public performance as a soloist playing the violin at age seven with the San Francisco Orchestra, under the baton of Alfred Hertz, two years after starting to take violin lessons with Sigmund Anker, who specialized in teaching child prodigies.
Extractions: November 22, 1996 LESLIE KATZ Bulletin Staff Marutha Menuhin's life spanned continents and more than a century. Born in Russia to a kosher butcher, she lived in Palestine, New York and Petaluma before settling in San Francisco. Last Friday, the mother of acclaimed violinist and conductor Yehudi Menuhin died in Los Gatos at 104 after a short illness. Lionel Rolfe, son of Yehudi's younger sister Yaltah, recalls his grandmother as "a very, very strong-willed woman. My mother always said that if Marutha had stayed in Israel, Golda Meir wouldn't have had a chance." Marutha Menuhin, who attended the Herzliya Gymnasium in Tel Aviv, taught piano while living in Palestine. She passed her love of music on not only to Yehudi but to daughters Yaltah and Hephzibah, accomplished pianists who appeared with their brother in chamber music recitals and concert tours. By all accounts, including their own, mother and son shared a deep bond. "Theirs was an incredibly close relationship," says Rolfe, who wrote a book about his family titled "The Menuhins: A Family Odyssey." "He looked upon his mother as something akin to a deity and she did the same thing in return. She thought she had produced not just a great violinist, but a great humanitarian."

Extractions: Menuhin in Los Gatos Yehudi Menuhin called his Los Gatos days " a blithe, young, joyful, golden time" By Dan Pulcrano Yehudi Menuhin, who died Friday in Berlin, Germany, at the age of 82, was profoundly influenced by his early years in Los Gatos. He maintained his connection to the area even though he lived in London, had taken on British citizenship and been knighted by Queen Elizabeth II. Although he lived here only a short time as a youth and considered himself a citizen of the world, the renowned violinist developed a special love for the town and its surrounding hills that lasted more than 60 years. His wandering parents had fled the anti-Semitic pogroms of Russia as youths, then escaped the stifling social strictures of Jewish religious orthodoxy in Palestine as young adults. They came to New York, then crossed the river to New Jersey, but cared little for the ghetto mentality of what the senior Menuhin referred to as "Elizabethdump." In 1918, when Yehudi Menuhin was 2 years old, the family traversed the continent by train and settled in California. They first lived in San Francisco and later moved to Los Gatos, where Moshe and Marutha Menuhin spent their remaining years. Menuhin used biblical metaphor to describe his special feelings for Los Gatos. "For all my family the Garden of Eden could be very exactly pinpointed in the Santa Cruz Mountains," he wrote.
