Synopsis
Yehudi Menuhin spent his life defying categorization. As skilled a player of jazz and Indian music as he was of a huge range of classical styles, a controversial political activist and friend of presidents and prime ministers, yoga devotee, cultural ambassador to the UN and founder of the best music school in Europe, Menuhin was an individualist, not only musically but throughout all other aspects of his life. Here, Burton creates a multi-faceted portrait of a great musician drawing on family correspondence, as well as verbatim excerpts from interviews.

About the Author
Humphrey Burton read Music and History at Cambridge University and entered the BBC as a sound studio manager in 1955. In 1958 he joined the ground-breaking TV arts magazine, Monitor. He has won many international awards, including three from the British Academy, four Emmies and the Italia Prize (for The Making of West Side Story). Twice in charge of Music and Arts for BBC Television, Burton was also a founder member of London Weekend Television, where he edited and presented the ITV arts series Aquarius. He is still active in the fields of radio and television. Burton worked with Yehudi Menuhin on many radio and television programmes, including a twenty-part radio series for Classic FM. He was also a frequent collaborator with Leonard Bernstein, and later wrote his biography, also published by Faber. He was awarded a CBE in the Millennium honours.
Review
