Condition: Wie neu. 26. - 29. Tausend. 6. Auflage. 207 (1) Seiten. 19 cm. Umschlag: Frederico Luci. Sehr guter Zustand. Frisches Exemplar. Wie ungelesen. Yehudi Menuhin ist nicht nur ein weltberühmter Geiger und Musiker, er ist auch ein außergewöhnlicher Mensch, dessen warmherziges Wesen sich spontan mitteilt. Der lebhafte Dialog zwischen dem Künstler und seinem Gesprächspartner Robin Daniels reiht die zahlreichen Themen seiner Persönlichkeit aneinander. Yehudi Menuhin, weltberühmter Geiger und Dirigent, und Robin Daniels führen einen lebhaften Dialog über Menuhins New Yorker Kindheit, seine großen Lehrer Enescu, Persinger und Busch, die Begegnung mit seiner späteren Frau Diana, Künstleralltag, Geigentraining und Lebensführung des Geigers, Meditation und Yoga, die Lieblingskomponisten Bach, Beethoven und Bartok, Beziehungen zu großen Dirigenten und zeitgenössischen Komponisten wie Benjamin Britten, die Gründung der Schule für musikalisch begabte junge Menschen aus aller Welt und Menuhins Engagement für Gerechtigkeit und Frieden. - Yehudi Menuhin, Baron Menuhin, OM, KBE (* 22. April 1916 in New York; 12. März 1999 in Berlin) war ein von Geburt US-amerikanischer, später schweizerischer (ab 1970) und britischer (ab 1985) Geiger, Bratschist und Dirigent. Er zählt zu den größten Violinvirtuosen des 20. Jahrhunderts. . Nachdem er 1935 eine Welttournee mit 110 Konzerten in 72 Städten in Australien, Neuseeland, Südafrika und Europa beendet hatte, nahm er eine Auszeit von 1 ½ Jahren in Los Gatos, Kalifornien. Wenige Jahre später war das Wunderkind-Phänomen in sich zusammengebrochen, Menuhin konnte nicht mehr so spielen wie zuvor. Später fand er erneut, und, wie behauptet wird, einen noch vertieften Zugang zu seinem Instrument. Aber seelische Verletzungen blieben zurück. Die ersten öffentlichen Auftritte nach seinem Zusammenbruch hatte er in unzähligen Konzerten vor Frontsoldaten im Zweiten Weltkrieg. Er erteilte dem notleidenden Béla Bartók den Auftrag für eine Solo-Violinsonate, die er im November 1944 in der New Yorker Carnegie Hall uraufführte. Nach dem Krieg spielte er weiterhin Violinkonzerte. 1946 begann er in Zusammenarbeit mit dem ungarischen Dirigenten Antal Doráti, Leiter des wenige Monate zuvor gegründeten Dallas Symphony Orchestra, mit dem er zu Beginn des Jahres 1946 Bartóks Violinkonzert Nr. 2 aufgenommen hatte, eine neue Laufbahn als Dirigent. Mit dem Sitar-Virtuosen Ravi Shankar kam es ab 1952 zu einer künstlerischen Zusammenarbeit, die 1967 zur Aufnahme der Koproduktion West meets East in England führte. In den 1970er Jahren ergab sich mit dem Jazzgeiger Stéphane Grappelli eine weitere musikalische Zusammenarbeit. Menuhins Vertrag mit EMI dauerte knapp 70 Jahre und ist der zeitlich längste in der Geschichte der Musikindustrie. Seine erste Aufnahme datiert von November 1929, seine letzte aus dem Jahr 1999. . . . Aus: wikipedia-Yehudi_Menuhin. Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 200 Taschenbuch. Kartoniert. Laminiert. Glanzfolienkaschierung.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 188, (4) pages; New York: St. Martin's Press. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1980. First American Edition; First Printing. Autograph; 188 & (4, index) pages; Publisher's black cloth, spine lettered in gilt. Fine, in a fine, unclipped dust jacket. First U. S. Edition, from the British sheets. Ownership signature of Paul Hume dated March 1980 -- on front free-endpaper. Not to be confused with a book by David Dubal with the same title, published in 1991. From the music reference library of the late Paul Hume, long time musical editor of the Washington 'Post. ' Hume [1915-2001] earned a degree from the University of Chicago, and, in addition to his multi-decade career in musical journalism, served as as professor of music at Georgetown University (1950-1977) , as adjunct professor of music at Yale University (1975-1983) , and also hosted long-running classical music programs at WGMS-FM radio in Washington, D. C. He is best known for his substantial and influential term at the Washington 'Post" -- 1946-1982, for which he won numerous awards including a Peabody; Hume also wrote several books. Despite all this, during a couple of days fairly early in his tenure at the 'Post, ' Paul Hume became the most famous music critic in America. He achieved this unsought status by publishing a review of a recital December 5, 1950 at Washington's Constitution Hall, writing that the singer possessed "a pleasant voice of little size and fair quality. She is extremely attractive on the stage. Yet . . . There are few moments during her recital when one can relax and feel confident that she will make her goal, which is the end of the song. She is flat a good deal of the time . . . She cannot sing with anything approaching professional finish . . . She communicates almost nothing of the music she presents ." All in a night's work for a working music critic -- unless the subject of a review is the only child of a President of the United States. Such was the case for Paul Hume in 1950. The President was not at all pleased to read Paul Hume's review in the 'Post. ' He took two sheets of White House stationery and wrote (in longhand) an emotional and un-Presidential letter to the critic. One key phrase stands out: "Some day I hope to meet you. When that happens you'll need a new nose, a lot of beefsteak for black eyes, and perhaps a supporter below!" Margaret Truman initially told reporters "I am absolutely positive my father wouldn't use language like that. "In the first place . My father wouldn't have time to write a letter . . . Mr. Hume is a very fine critic. He has a right to write as he pleases." Cautiously, Hume and the Managing Editor of the 'Post' sought confirmation from the White House that the letter, signed only with the initials "H. S. T. " had indeed been written and sent by the President. Soon, after the Executive Office did confirm Presidential authorship of the note, a 'Post' competitor, the tabloid Washington 'Daily News' put the whole story on its front page. In 1951, Hume reportedly sold the original letter written to him by the angry President -- for $3500. It was resold once before being purchased by publisher/collector Malcolm S. Forbes in 1983, who displayed it for the rest of his life in his collection of historical documents. After Forbes' death, Christies in New York sold the Truman letter for $193, 000 [Sale 1032, lot 177, 26 March 2002]. In an interview published just after his eightieth birthday, Hume was philosophical about the incident which made him famous: "the President has every right to get mad, and to show it in any way he wants. I wrote a review President Truman hated, and he wrote to say so. It wasn't considered Presidential, but I loved him for having written it" -- [People Magazine, 29 January 1996, p.94]. ; Signed by Notable Personage, Related .; Music and Performing Arts, Most Recent Listing, Most Recent Listing y First American Edition; First Printing.
