Classic Archive: Yehudi Menuhin

Each presentation in the Classic Archive collection from EMI Classics features select performances from legendary classical music artists. Culled from the BBC (UK) and INF (France) archives of the 1950s, '60s, and '70s, the selections are taken from various music festivals, recitals, and recording studio sessions. The original footage is carefully restored and compiled by music historians in order to present an overview of each artist's representative work. This installment features violin virtuoso Yehudi Menuhin and includes selections from Franck (1960), Schubert (1964), Enescu (1972), and Bartók (1972). Bonus footage includes a 1968 performance by his sister, pianist Hephzibah Menuhin. ~ Sarah Block, All Movie Guide
