Movie Reviews of Yehudi Menuhin Plays Mendelssohn: Violin Concerto
Movie Review: It was wonderful
Summary: 5 Stars
I dreaded buying this DVD because either one or two reviewers 1) made it sound like Menuhin was a braggart, and 2) said that he was all lush and mush and Rachmaninov (the only good composer the 20th Century produced) and could not play virtuoso pieces as Heifetz could. What a relief! The playing was marvelous. The interviews (as "written and directed by ..."???) were priceless. Menuhin is the man I'd like all my heroes to be. Gentle, wise, humorous, warm, intelligent, non-nationalistic, non-religious, good (and you can throw in childlike which covers it all and especially applies to his face and comments when he was seeing for the 1st time himself playing the encores he had filmed in 1947). In the interviews Menuhin talks about many things, his life, his values, world politics and situations, WWII, other performers, there is even toward the end an invaluable piece of instruction for prospective violinists that my violin teacher never told me. It has to do with the thumb. I recommend every minute of this wonderful DVD.
