Yehudi Menuhin and George Enescu play Bach
Loading...

Yehudi Menuhin and his teacher, the romanian violinist George Enescu play the first movement (vivace) of Bach's double violin concerto in d minor. This recording is absolutely amazing. Both violinists have such a unique and amazing sound that I don't think it's even necessary to say who's playing first violin and who's playing second.
By the way, this recording was made in 1932, which would put Menuhin at the young age of 16 in this recording.

This is for me the most beautiful interpretation ! Yehudi Menuhin was only 16 years old when he recorded this marvel... Today's violonist often play these concertos too quickly loosing all the sensibility that Bach put in his music. Thanks for posting !

Perfect match...Sun and Moon; Day and Night!!!They complete each other!!!

Menuhin's sensitivity and depth are simply astonishing for a sixteen-year-old violinist (though I'd thought he was eighteen here?).
This remains, however improbably, quite possibly the single best recording of the Bach violin concertos I've ever heard.

Lieber Absolute, gibt es wirklich 1. und 2. Geige hier? Und was den amazing sound anbelangt, hätte man wol live dabei sein müssen.

wow

Thinking about it, I wonder why Lipatti and Menuhin never met, as they both knew Enescu very well, and I'm pretty sure both of them knew the talent of each other. Both of them had that most rare quality of letting the music sing by itself. That would have been a heavenly match.

It's a pity you didn't put the second movement as well, as it is there that the two violonists reach heavenly heights.

@qvqxox He played first violin, Enescu was second. Well known.
