Yehudi Menuhin, Baron Menuhin OM KBE (22 April 1916 – 12 March 1999) was an American-born violinist and conductor, who spent most of his performing career in Britain. He is widely considered one of the greatest violinists of the 20th century.
Yehudi Menuhin was born in New York City to a family of Belorussian Jews. Through his father Moshe, a former rabbinical student and anti-Zionist, he was descended from a distinguished rabbinical dynasty. In late 1919 Moshe and his wife Marutha (née Sher) became American citizens, and changed the family name from Mnuchin to Menuhin. Yehudi's sisters were concert pianist and human rights activist Hephizibah, and pianist, painter and poet Yaltah.
Menuhin's first violin instruction was at age four by Sigmund Anker (1891–1958); his parents had wanted Louis Persinger to teach him, but Persinger initially refused. Menuhin displayed exceptional talent at an early age. His first public appearance, when only seven, was as solo violinist with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra in 1923. Persinger then agreed to teach him, and accompanied him on the piano for his first few solo recordings in 1928–29.
The Yehudi Menuhin School is a specialist music school in Surrey, England, founded in 1963 by violinist Yehudi Menuhin. The school is one of the five established musical schools for school-age children in the United Kingdom, along with Chetham's School of Music, Wells Cathedral School, the Purcell School and St. Mary's Music School, Edinburgh.
The school aims to give pupils the best musical education possible, with internationally renowned teachers including Simon Fischer, Natalya Boyarskaya and Ruth Nye. The current Director of Music is Malcolm Singer.

Yehudi Menuhin the American-born British violinist playing a Stradivarius before it is auctioned at Sotheby's 1971
Yehudi Menuhin was the twentieth century's greatest violinist. As famous as any Hollywood star, he even had songs written about him. A child prodigy, unmatched by his contemporaries, he achieved more by his teens than most artists do in a lifetime. But the man behind the violin was harder to know - his cocooned and curious childhood marked him emotionally for life. Endlessly touring and crossing continents and cultures, the man whose contract with EMI was the longest in the history of the music industry took classical music out of the concert hall because he believed music was for everyone and had the power to change lives. An impassioned idealist, Yehudi wanted to give more to the world than music - he became a tireless figure fighting for the humanitarian issues he believed in. Prese...

A rare recording of the Brahms Violin Concerto in D (Op. 77) and the bach Solo Partita No3 in E Recorded at BBC Maida Vale in 1943. The following is a recent blog post from Mary Lawson who was the recording engineer at the BBC Maida Vale. Yehudi Menuhin, the now renowned violinist and former child prodigy whom I had heard on the wireless in my school days, would arrive from the US and be the soloist with Adrian Boult and the BBC SO. As he was being flown over by the US Air Force the Estimated Time of Arrival was uncertain, so I had to be prepared for any possibility. I spent the morning selecting the sharpest sapphire cutters and doing test recordings on reels of film to find any flaws in the surface coating which might affect the track. He was to play the Brahms Violin Concerto so I ...
