Yehudi Menuhin
Yehudi Menuhin, Baron Menuhin, OM, KBE (April 22, 1916 � March 12, 1999) was an American-born violinist and conductor who spent most of his performing career in the United Kingdom. Though born in New York City, New York, he later became a citizen of Switzerland in 1970, and in 1985, of the United Kingdom.
In 1962 he established the Yehudi Menuhin School in Stoke d'Abernon, Surrey. He also established the music program at the Nueva School in Hillsborough, California sometime around then. In 1965 he received an honorary knighthood.
Menuhin's pupils included Nigel Kennedy, Hungarian violist Csaba Erdelyi and violist Paul Coletti. Arguably the most famous of Menuhin's violins is the Lord Wilton Guarneri del Ges� made in 1742.

David Oistrakh
| Quote: | David Fyodorovich Oistrakh (Russian: Давид Фёдорович Ойстрах, David Fiodorovič Ojstrah; September 30 [O.S. September 17] 1908 � October 24, 1974) was a Russian violinist who made many recordings and was the dedicatee of numerous violin works.
His recordings and performances of Shostakovich's concerti are particularly well known, but he was also a performer of classical concerti. He worked with orchestras in Russia, and also with musicians in Europe and the United States. Oistrakh's recording of Beethoven's Triple Concerto with Sviatoslav Richter and Mstislav Rostropovich is also well known, and the violin concerto of Aram Khachaturian is dedicated to him, as are the two violin concerti by Dmitri Shostakovich. |
Download Tzigane
He performs Tzigane (by Maurice Ravel) with his wife, renown pianist Natalia Zertsalova.
Plus David Oistrakh's son, Igor Oistrakh, is also a world-renown violinist
Igor Oistrakh
| Quote: | Igor Oistrakh (Игорь Ойстрах) (born April 27, 1931) is a Ukrainian violinist.
He was born in Odessa, Ukraine and is the son of violinist David Oistrakh. He attended the Central Music School in Moscow and made his concert debut in 1948. From 1949 to 1955 he studied at the Moscow Conservatory, winning first prizes and international competitions in Eastern Europe. He then joined the faculty of the Conservatory in 1958, becoming a lecturer in 1965. Since 1996 Igor Oistrakh has held the post of Professor of the Royal Conservatory in Brussels.
He has appeared frequently internationally, both as a soloist and in joint recitals with his father, or with his father conducting.
He is noted for his lean, modernist interpretations. |

Plus Igor's son, Valery Oistrakh, is also a violinist. What a family 
Valery Oistrakh
| Quote: | Valery's musical education -history seems to repeat itself- began in a small three-room flat in Moscow. He lived under the same roof with the two greatest violinists of the Soviet Union and their wives, his mother Natalia Zertsalova and his grandmother, both pianists, who taught and played in concerts. In this setting young Valery could not but consider music the most natural means of human communication.
Apart from being taught by his father and, after his sixth birthday, by his caring grandfather, Valery Oistrach studied at the famous Central School of Music in Moscow, where the most gifted children from the music schools of all quarters of Russia lived and played together if they had managed to pass the strict entrance examinations.
Afterwards Valery continued his studies at the Gnessin Academy of Music in Moscow. A few years later, he completed his training with the unique and world-famous Professor Zakhar Bron, who, interestingly enough, had been taught by Valery's father Igor Oistrach at the Moscow Conservatory.
After a concert, in which he appeared together with his father Igor and Yehudi Menuhin to play Bach's triple concerto, Menuhin told a Russian newspaper: "Playing with Valery reminds me of his grandfather David's tone and way of playing." This compliment casts light on the essential fact that there is very close kinship between the souls of David and Valery.
In February 2004 Ruggiero Ricci, considered the greatest violin virtuoso, said in a letter to Valery, whose recording of a Brahms concerto he had heard, that Valery's playing "more than anybody else's" reminded him of Fritz Kreisler. Ricci: "Your grandfather and father can be proud of you."
Valery's profound understanding of the violin repertoire, his enrapturing tone, frequently echoing the unforgettable David, have met with overwhelming appraisal from critics and audiences. Valery Oistrakh is a masterly chamber musician. Again and again his competence enriches the music of famous ensembles all over the world, as when he plays with exceptional musicians like Yehudi Menuhin, J�rg Demus or the excellent Amadeus String Quartet and numerous others.
As well as being very busy giving concerts, Valery Oistrakh is a professor at the Royal Conservatory in Brussels. He is also Visiting Professor at the Summer Academy of the Mozarteum in Salzburg. |
