Yehudi Menuhin

Rating:
Summary: Disappointing for its lack of performance content
Review: If you're looking for a video of Menuhin with any substantial amount of performance footage you'll be very disappointed in this video. Theres never more than a few seconds of Yehudi in performance. If you're looking for an in depth documentary on the life of this great violinist you'll also be sorely disappointed. There is no continuity and flow to the video. Yehudi's life story isn't really told in a cohesive and compelling way. It left me feeling as if I just saw a mish mash of music snippets with rambling commentary interspersed in between (or more accurately visversa) with no real sense of the whole story. I'd recommend the video "The Art of the Violin" as a far better produced alternative.

Summary: Cover
Review: What a blunder the cover designer made Menuhin playing the violin right hand left!

Summary: Do not buy this
Review: When I bought this DVD, I thought I was buying a video of Menuhin playing the violin, but what I got was a story about Menuhin as a person and not a very good documentary at that. This focuses too much on Menuhin as a father, don't buy it.
