A VERY RARE AND HIGHLY COLLECTABLE PIECE OF MEMORABILIA A SIGNED MONTAGE OF THE LEGENDARY "YEHUDI MENUHIN" Yehudi Menuhin was born in New York City, New York, to Bielorussian Jewish parents from what is now Belarus. His sisters were the concert pianist and human rights worker Hephzibah Menuhin and the pianist, painter, and poet Yaltah Menuhin. Through his father Moshe Menuhin, a former rabbinical student and anti-Zionist writer, Menuhin was descended from a distinguished rabbinical dynasty. Menuhin began violin instruction at age three under violinist Sigmund Anker; his parents had wanted Louis Persinger to be his teacher, but Persinger refused. He displayed extraordinary talents at an early age. His first solo violin performance was at the age of seven with the San Francisco Symphony in 1923. Persinger then agreed to take Menuhin as a student. When the Menuhins went to Paris, Persinger suggested Yehudi go to his own teacher, Eugène Ysaÿe. He did have one lesson with Ysaÿe, but did not like his method or the fact that he was very old. Instead, he went to the Romanian composer and violinist George Enescu, after which he made several recordings with his sister Hephzibah. He was also a student of Adolf Busch. When a child and an adolescent, his fame was phenomenal. In 1929 he played in Berlin, under Bruno Walter's baton, three concerti by Bach, Brahms and Beethoven. Albert Einstein is said to have exclaimed at the end of the concert, "Now I know that there is a God!" In 1932, he recorded Edward Elgar's Violin Concerto in B minor for HMV in London, with the composer himself conducting PROFESSIONALLY LASERED CUT MOUNT,WHICH MEASURES 14" X 11" THIS PIECE HAS BEEN RELEASED AS A LIMITED EDITION PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS ITEM IS UN-FRAMED: THE FRAMED IMAGE IS FOR ILLUSTRATION PURPOSES ONLY THIS MOUNT WILL FIT ANY STANDARD FRAME FROM WILKINSONS, B+Q, ETC,ETC,
